Marathon cDNA amplification of abundant (actin, 1.9 kb) and moderately rare (TFR, 5.1 kb) transcripts. The 5′- and 3′-RACE reactions for actin and TFR were performed with adaptor-ligated ds cDNA made from 1 μg of human placental poly A+ RNA and amplified for 25 PCR cycles. Full-length cDNAs were end-to-end PCR–amplified according to the User Manual. Lane 1: 1.2-kb actin 5′-RACE product. Lane 2: 1.3-kb actin 3′-RACE product. Lane 3: full-length 1.9-kb actin cDNA. Lane 4: 2.6- kb TFR 5′-RACE product. Lane 5: 2.9-kb TFR 3′-RACE product. Lane 6: full-length 5.1-kb TFR cDNA. Lane M: 1-kb DNA size ladder.
