Angiotensinogen RT-PCR protocol

Could u please tell me about the Angiotensinogen RT-PCR protocol

[admin]

I found this RT-PCR protocol:

Reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR)
RT-PCR for Angiotensinogen

First-strand cDNA was generated from 2.5 µg denatured total RNA with 20 U avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase, 1 µg random hexamers and reagents from Promega Corp. (50 min at 42 C and 4 min at 72 C). PCR primers, specific for renin (23), ACE (24, 25), cathepsin D (26), and cathepsin G (27) cDNA, were designed to span at least one intron. PCR was performed in 1x PCR buffer with 0.4 mmol/L deoxynucleotide triphosphate (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany), 1 µmol/L each of sense and antisense primers (Table 1), 2.5 U Taq polymerase (Boehringer Mannheim), and 2.5 U Pfu (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA), in a final vol of 50 µL, using a GeneAmpPCR system 9600 (Perkin-Elmer Corp., Norwalk, CT). Cycle conditions are available on request. Control samples for detection of possible PCR contamination were included in all RT-PCR experiments and were routinely negative.

I am not sure what model (human, or mouse etc) you are using.
