CD74: Quantitative PCR with a hydrolysis probe and DNA binding dye

Description

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) with a hydrolysis probe and DNA binding dye (EvaGreen) (Mao et al. 2007) was performed in the 'VideoScan' heating cooling unit. The cycle-dependent increase of the fluorescence was quantified at three different temperatures in order to estimate temperature dependent effects.

Details

The aim was to amplify MLC-2v in the 'VideoScan' platform while the intercalating dye EvaGreen and a hydrolysis probe for MLC-2v were used simultaneously. The primer sequences for MLC-2v were taken from Roediger et al. (2013). The amplification was detected in solution of the '1 HCU' (see Roediger et al. 2013 for details). A 20 micro L PCR reaction was composed of 500 nM primer (forward and reverse), 1x Maxima Probe qPCR Master Mix (Fermentas), 1 micro L template (MLC-2v amplification product in different dilutions), 50 nM hydrolysis probe probe for MLC-2v, 0.5 x EvaGreen and A. bidest. During the amplification, fluorescence was measured at 3 different temperatures, at 59.5 degrees Celsius the annealing temperature, at 68.5 degree Celsius the elongation temperature and at 30 degrees Celsius. The FAM channel was used to monitor EvaGreen and the Cy5 channel to monitor the MLC-2v specific hydrolysis probe.
