mRNA Quantification

mRNA Quantification. Real-time PCR. To accurately quantify starting amounts of nucleic acid during the PCR reaction without the need for post-PCR analyses. A fluorescent reporter is used to monitor the PCR reaction as it occurs; the reporter can be of a nonspecific or specific nature.

Presentation Transcript

  1. mRNA Quantification

  2. Real-time PCR • To accurately quantify starting amounts of nucleic acid during the PCR reaction without the need for post-PCR analyses. • A fluorescent reporter is used to monitor the PCR reaction as it occurs; the reporter can be of a nonspecific or specific nature. • The fluorescence of the reporter molecule increases as products accumulate with each successive round of amplification.

  3. RT-PCR • Reverse transcription + Polymerase chain reaction • mRNA quantification

  4. Threshold Cycle (Ct) • In the early cycles of amplification, the change in fluorescence of the reporter is usually undetectable, but at some point during amplification, the accumulation of product results in a measurable change in the fluorescence of the reaction mixture. • The point at which the fluorescence rises appreciably above background has been called the threshold cycle.

  5. An Example DCt=log2(fold difference) 3.322=log210 1/10 serial dilution Well Ct B3 10.2 B4 13.6 B5 16.7 B6 20.9

  6. SYBR Green I dsDNA에 결합되지 않은 dye는 아주 약한 형광을 내지만, 컴퓨터 분석과정에서 이러한 결합되지 않은 dye에 의한 형광값(background)은 충분히 제거할 수 있다. Primer를 넣어서 annealing 한 후, 몇몇 dye 분자들이 dsDNA와 결합한다. Dye가 dsDNA에 결합함으로, excitation 후 극격한 형광이 발산한다. DNA가 증폭 되는 동안, dye 분자가 새로이 합성되는 DNA 가닥에 결합한다. 증가되는 형광값을 real-time으로 볼 수 있다.

  8. 일단, Ct값이 좀 커서.. Unreliable 하다

  9. 2nd experiment 이것도, Ct값이 좀 커서.. Unreliable 하다

  11. 2nd experiment 기울기가.. 좀 크다. - 4 정도

  13. 이것도 Ct값이 좀 커서.. Unreliable 하다 30.3 2.8 22.8=6.96 차이가 좀 크긴 하네.. 거의 같게 나와야 하는데 27.5 0.7 20.7=1.62 26.8

  14. 30.3 1.8 21.8=3.48 0.5 20.5=1.41 28.5 28 27.5 1.65 21.65=3.14 25.85 25.2 0.65 20.65=1.57

  15. Slope of 2.33 means the … 농도에 따른 경향은 일정한데, 그 slope이 너무 작다. 이론적으로는 3.322가 나와야 한다.

  24. Discussion • Repetitive experiments • mRNA concentration dependency • t-values, are they still valid?
