Two-step RT-PCR

The RNA PCR Kit (AMV) Version 3.0 combines AMV Reverse Transcriptase with Takara Ex Taq HS—a high-fidelity, hot-start DNA polymerase—enabling users to synthesize and amplify cDNA in a single tube, using a two-step protocol. The RNA PCR kit uses AMV RTase XL, which possesses higher thermostability and a broader range of reaction temperatures (42–60°C) than MMLV RT. This allows transcription to occur at higher temperatures and helps eliminate potential RNA secondary structures that can impede downstream cDNA amplification. The supplied Oligo (dT) Adaptor primer is designed for highly efficient cDNA synthesis from the poly A⁺ RNA 3'-terminus, allowing later amplification of unknown 3'-termini using 3'-RACE. Components for 3'-RACE are supplied in this two-step RT-PCR kit.

Cat. #	Product	Size
RR019B	RNA PCR Kit (AMV) Version 3.0	200 Rxns	USD $876.00
The RNA PCR Kit (AMV) Version 3.0 is designed for performing single tube reverse transcription of RNA to cDNA using AMV (Avian Myeloblastosis Virus) Reverse Transcriptase, with subsequent cDNA amplification using Takara Ex Taq HS. Taking advantage of AMV RTase XL, which possesses higher thermostability and a broader range of reaction temperatures (42-60°C) than MMLV RTase, this kit allows transcription at higher temperatures, which eliminates potential RNA secondary structure that can give rise to polymerase pauses. The supplied Oligo dT-Adaptor Primer is designed for highly efficient cDNA synthesis from the poly(A)⁺ RNA 3'-terminus, which allows amplification of unknown 3'-termini using 3'-RACE. The components for the 3'-RACE method are supplied in the kit. Cat. # RR019B contains 2 of Cat. # RR019A. Please refer to Cat. # RR019A for complete product documentation and resources.

Notes

Primers and Positive control RNA are the same as those supplied in the RNA LA PCR Kit.

Reverse transcription of RNA expressed at low levels (rare RNAs) may also be performed by creating a 20 µl reaction mixture with an RNA sample volume of up to 9.5 µl. Takara Ex Taq HS is the enzyme of choice for cDNA amplification because it prevents non-specific room temperature DNA amplification due to mispriming and primer dimerization. Amplification of cDNAs up to 5 kb in length is possible using this RNA PCR kit.
