Quantitative real-time polymerase chain

FIGURE3.10 UCP1 mRNA expression levels in epididymal WAT (Okada et al., 2011). Expression of UCP1 mRNA was estimated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Relative values were presented as the ratio of UCP1 mRNA to GAPDH mRNA. 

Assimilable organic carbon (AOC) was determined in water using flow-cytometric enumeration and a natural microbial consortium as inoculum.134 Two bacterial species were used for the measurement of AOC in water, based on their respective 16S rDNA sequences. The AOC content in 41 water samples was determined with these two sets by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).135...

Fig. 9.4 Establishment of the quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) analytical procedure. The ABI PRISM 7900 HT Sequence Detector system was used to perform real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using MSP primers and bisulfite-modified template DNA. Upper panels Setting up the conditions to obtain the standard curves with 50% (A) or 25% (B) sequential dilution of the template. Lower panels The amplification curves on the left represent P-actin, unmethylated, and methylated MSP products, respectively, for reelin (RELN) (C). Amplification curves were compared at the set threshold before 40 cycles. Amplification curves from various samples are shown in the lower panel right (D)...

Because the 5-HT4 receptors mediate physiological effects in the heart, gut, and CNS (132), splice variants of this receptor are thought to be involved in atrial arrhythmia, irritable bowel syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases. Medhurst et al. (132) used TaqMan real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to investigate the mRNA distribution of 5-HT4 receptor C-terminal splice variants in multiple human CNS and peripheral tissues. They...
