The BcaBEST RNA PCR Kit is designed to perform both reverse transcription and DNA amplification in a single tube. The kit uses BcaBEST DNA Polymerase, which contains both DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase for first strand cDNA synthesis. In contrast to standard reverse transcriptases, BcaBEST Polymerase has a temperature optimum of 65°C, which permits cDNA synthesis from difficult and highly structured RNA templates. Bca-Optimized Taq Polymerase is used for second strand synthesis and subsequent PCR. This polymerase utilizes LA PCR technology for improved PCR length and accuracy. Random 9-mers, oligo-dT primers, or a specific downstream primer that acts as an antisense primer in PCR can be used for cDNA synthesis.
Overview
Enables RT-PCR of long or difficult RNA templates
Amplifies templates up to 5 kb in length
Transcription at an optimum reaction temperature of 65°C
Uses Bca-optimized Taq Polymerase, an LA technology-based enzyme that is optimized for use with BcaBEST DNA Polymerase
Kit includes random 9-mers or oligo(dT) primers for first-strand cDNA synthesis. Specific downstream primers can be prepared by the user
Procedure is performed in a single tube
Reverse transcription is stopped via enzyme heat inactivation. PCR mixture is added directly to the tube
Applications
Single-tube RT-PCR, using LA PCR technology for better PCR performance.
Reverse transcription of RNA that is GC-rich or has high levels of secondary structure.
Amplification of human TRADD gene. Amplification of the human TRADD (TNF receptor associated death domain) gene (494 bp, GC content 68.2%) was performed using total RNA from HeLa cells. Lanes 1 and 2 used the RNA PCR Kit, Ver. 2.1, and the BcaBest; RNA PCR Kit, Version 1.1, respectively. Lanes M contain a 100-bp ladder.
