C127EGHP: qPCR Experiment for the Amplification of MLC-2v Using the Roche Light Cycler 1.5

Description

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) with a hydrolysis probe (Cy5/BHQ2) and DNA binding dye (EvaGreen) (Mao et al. 2007) was performed in the Roche Light Cycler 1.5 thermo cycler. The cycle-dependent increase of the fluorescence was quantified at the annealing step.

Usage

data(C127EGHP)

Format

A data frame with 40 observations on the following 66 variables. The first columns ("index") contains index of a sample and second column ("Cycle") contains the number of cycle. Consecutive columns EG1-EG32 contains fluorescence data for Eva Green dye. Consecutive columns HP1-HP32 contains data for hydrolysis probe.

Details

MLC-2v was amplified in the Roche Light Cycler 1.5. The the change of fluorescence was simultaneously monitored for the Hydrolysis probe of MLC-2v and EvaGreen. The primer sequences for MLC-2v were taken from Roediger et al. (2013). A 10 micro L qPCR reaction was composed of 250 nM primer (forward and reverse), qPCR Mix (according to the manufactures recommendations), 1 micro L template (MLC-2v amplification product), 60 nM hydrolysis probe probe for MLC-2v. EvaGreen was used at 0.5 x final. During the amplification was monitored 59.5 degrees Celsius.
