The iScript™ one-step RT-PCR kit for probes delivers unparalleled results over an extremely wide dynamic range. RNA (1 µg to 100 fg) isolated from HeLa cells using the Aurum™ total RNA kit was reverse-transcribed and amplified using primers to β-actin and a FAM-labeled detection probe. Each dilution was performed in triplicate, and RT-PCR was carried out on the iCycler iQ® real-time detection system. Standard curve r = 1.000, slope = –3.39, and efficiency = 97.2%, RFU, relative fluorescence units.
The iScript™ one-step RT-PCR kit for probes yields excellent results in duplex real-time reaction. Two gene targets from HeLa total RNA were reverse-transcribed and amplified in duplex over a 10-fold serial dilution using probes and primers to tubulin and β-actin. Each dilution was performed in triplicate, and the RT-PCR was carried out on the iCycler iQ® real-time detection system. A dual-labeled FAM probe was used to detect the β-actin gene product (top panel) in the first dye layer. Standard curve r = 1.000, slope = -3.53, and efficiency = 92%. In the second dye layer, a dual-labeled Cy5 probe was used to detect the tubulin gene product (lower panel). Standard curve r = 1.000, slope = -3.27, and efficiency = 102%, RFU, relative fluorescence units.
The iScript™ one-step RT-PCR kit for probes is a highly sensitive solution for one-step real-time quantitative RT-PCR on a broad range of thermal cyclers. cDNA synthesis and PCR amplification are conveniently carried out in the same tube, using the powerful combination of iScript RNase H+ MMLV reverse transcriptase and hot-start iTaq™ DNA polymerase.
