cDNA Synthesis/Reverse Transcription Reaction
- Thaw all components (except the enzyme/buffer mix), mix thoroughly and centrifuge before use.
- Add the following to a 0.2mL thin-walled PCR tube sitting on ice:
- Mix components by gently vortexing and then centrifuge 4s to collect contents.
- Incubate in a PCR machine using the following conditions:
- After completion of cDNA synthesis, us 1/20th of the first-strand reaction (2-4μL) for PCR amplification in water. Also do 2,3, and 4-fold dilutions of each sample to ensure that the PCRs will be within the primer linear range. Do 3 replicates of each PCR reaction. Run PCRs on a real-time PCR machine (e.g. ABI 7900).
