Molecular Methods

RT-PCR assay developed by W. Jelkmann



RT reaction
  1. Mix the following components in a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube:
    • 5 µl purified nucleic acid extract
    • 1 µl primer mix 100 pmol/µl hexamer and 0.5 µg/µl oligo-dT17- primer
    • 6 µl RNase-free water
  2. Incubate at 70° C for 5 min. to denature the RNA
  3. Place on ice and add the following components:
    • 4 µl 5 x MMLV RT buffer
    • 2 µl 100 mM DTT
    • 1 µl 10 mM dNTP mix
    • 1 µl MMLV-RT (200 units)
  4. Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes
  5. Incubate at 37° C for 60 minutes
  6. Incubate at 70° C for 15 minutes
  7. Store on ice or at -20° C until required for use in PCR


PCR reaction

  • 5 µl 10 x buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 750 mM KCl, 35 mM MgCl2)
  • 1 µl 10 mM dNTPs
  • 1 µl 10 µM primer mix
  • 1 µl cDNA
  • 1 µl Taq polymerase (approx. 5 units)
  • 41 µl sterile water

Primers:
  • CML13A: 5´-GCC TGA TCT GCA AAG TGA AG-3´
  • CML4A: 5´-TTC GGT CTG AAG CAC AAT GC-3´

Temperature profile:

94º - 2 min / (94º - 1 min. / 55º - 1 min. / 72º - 1 min.) x 35 / 72º - 5 min.
