Disadv: The reverse transcriptases used to synthesize cDNAs have an average length of 1 to 2 kb, whereas mRNAs can easily be 10 kb long. The protein coding portion of interest is usually in the vicinity of the 5 end! o o o Random hexamer Hybridizes somewhere along the mRNA so that all mRNA segments are represented in the cDNA: Gene specific primers Adv: specific mRNA Disadv: lower yields Reverse Transcriptases (RTs) The reverse transcriptase from the avian myoblastosis virus (AMV-RT): Temperature optimum of activity at 45-50°C. Highly thermostable, can be used at temperatures up to 60°C. Demonstrates DNA exonuclease and RNase activities. The reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV-RT): The optimal working temperature is about 37C, with a maximum of 42C. Weaker RNase activity. o o o o o Protocol for First-strand cDNA Synthesis Mix and briefly centrifuge all components after thawing, keep on ice.

This will disrupt secondary structures formed in the RNA to make it rather linear for the primer to pair to it. Add: 5X Reaction buffer for Reverse Transcriptase 1X final concentration, so add 4µL dNTP mix 10mM 1mM final conc, so add 2µL DEPC dH2O 2.5µL Heat in 37° for 5 min, chill for a few minutes. This will anneal primer to complementary RNA. Add 0.3 µL M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase. Incubate at 42° for 60 min. Extension of primer will occur via RT. Heat-inactivate reverse transcriptase at 72° for 10 min.

Many factors can contribute to variability in the analysis of samples, making the results difficult to reproduce between experiments: Sample degradation, extraction efficiency, contamination → RNA isolation Sample concentration, RNA integrity, the reagents used, presence of contaminants → reverse transcription Housekeeping genes such as ß-actin, ß-tubulin, GAPDH, and 18S ribosomal RNA have often been used as reference genes for normalization, with the assumption that the expression of these genes is constitutively high and that a given treatment will have no effect on the expression level.
