Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has improved the sensitivity of RNA detection by several orders of magnitude, making it possible to analyze some extremely minute amounts of RNA samples.
This technique is mainly used for: analyzing transcription products of genes, obtaining target genes, synthesizing cDNA probes, and constructing RNA efficient transcription systems.
Principle
The basic principle of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is: extract the total RNA from tissues or cells, use the mRNA as a template, use oligo (dT) or random primers, and use reverse transcriptase to reverse transcribe into cDNA; then use the cDNA as a template for PCR amplification, and then obtain the target genes or detect the expression of genes.
Appliance
