In this protocol, sample and competitor RNAs are reverse transcribed (separately) in a pilot experiment. A constant amount of sample RT product is then combined with a 2-logserial dilution of competitor RT product for PCR. Procedure provides an approximate copy number for the sample, which is then fine-tuned by repeating the experiment with a series of twofold dilutions of competitor. The experiment includes controls for sample-to-sample variations in RT efficiency. - [Read Competitive RT-PCR: Estimation of Copy Number Protocol]
There are many variations based on the type of tissue to be examined, whether one is dealing with cell suspensions, biopsies, perfused tissues, or monolayer . Fixation Protocol. OSU Campus Microscopy & Imaging Facility :: The Ohio State University College of Med - [Read Fixation Protocol]
There are multiple variations to this protocol, but they find that this one works well in all cases tested. Mirmira Lab. - [Read General EMSA Protocol]
Protocol describes how to amplify a segment of double-stranded DNA in a chain reaction catalyzed by a thermostable DNA polymerase. It is the foundation for all subsequent variations of the polymerase chain reaction. - [Read The Basic Polymerase Chain Reaction Protocol]
