miScript II RT Kit

使用miScript PCR System,对包含miRNA的总RNA进行逆转录

Features

  • 灵敏和特异性的检测miRNA
  • 利用单一cDNA定量检测多种miRNA
  • 利用同一cDNA定量检测miRNA和mRNA
  • 利用同一cDNA定量检测成熟miRNA和miRNA前体
  • 专有技术合成RNA,评估逆转录效率

Product Details

miScript II RT Kit是miScript PCR System的重要组成部分,用于miRNA定量检测。配合miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit和miScript PCRarrays(miRNome或Pathway-Focused miScript miRNA PCR Arrays)或所需的检测(用于miRNA或其他非编码RNA的miScript Primer Assays、用于miRNA前体的miScript Precursor Assays或用于mRNA的QuantiTect Primer Assays),miScript II RT Kit合成的cDNA可作为real-time PCR 的模板。

Performance

miScript II RT Kit配合miScript PCR System的其他组分,灵敏和特异性地检测并定量miRNA。由于许多miRNA表达水平低,灵敏度特别重要,以确保数据的可靠。miScript PCR System灵敏度高、动态范围广和持续高扩增率。其卓越的性能使得初次尝试时即可获得高度重复性结果(参见" Reproducible results in technical and biological replicates")。

高特异性

miRNAs存在许多miRNA亚型家族,有些只是单个碱基的不同。这使得miRNA定量面临很大挑战。miScript PCR System可有效识别紧密相关的miRNA亚型,即使是只有单个碱基不同的miRNA也可(见表)。

Principle

miScript PCR System应用SYBR Green-based real-time PCR,能够灵敏和特异性地进行miRNA的定量和谱分析。miScript PCR System可以完成从RNA中合成cDNA及后续的real-time PCR检测miRNAs涉及的所有步骤。

miScript PCR System包含以下组分:

miScript II RT Kit,可简单、单步合成cDNA。单个cDNA合成反应可用于检测数以百计的miRNAs。双缓冲体系满足使用real-time PCR进行miRNA定量的独特要求。
miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit,包含QuantiTect SYBR Green PCR Master Mix和反向引物miScript Universal Primer,配合miScript Primer Assay或miScript miRNA PCR Array进行miRNAs检测。
miScript Primer Assay或miScript Precursor Assay,前者为miRNA特异性正向引物,用于检测成熟miRNAs。后者包含正向和反向引物,靶向作用于miRNA前体的颈环序列。该产品使用miRBase中的最新序列信息设计。
miScript miRNA PCR Array,miRNome或Pathway-Focused miScript miRNA PCR Arrays被预先设定,单次使用的PCR孔板/孔盘可快速分析成熟miRNAs。
miScript miRNA PCR Array data analysis tool,免费的基于网络的工具,简化了用于miScript miRNA PCR Arrays相对定量的ΔΔCT方法。
miScript II RT Kit双缓冲体系

miScript II RT Kit包含miScript Reverse Transcriptase Mix、10x miScript Nucleics Mix、5x miScript HiSpec Buffer和5x miScript HiFlex Buffer。miScript Reverse Transcriptase Mix是一种经优化的poly(A)聚合酶和逆转录酶混合物。miScript Nucleics Mix包含dNTPs、rATP、oligo-dT引物和内部合成RNA对照(miRNA逆转录对照[miRTC]),可评估使用miScript miRNA PCR Arrays进行谱分析实验的逆转录性能(获取更多信息,请参考miScript miRNA PCR Array Handbook)。

miScript II RT Kit提供两种缓冲液:miScript HiSpec Buffer和miScript HiFlex Buffer,满足使用real-time PCR进行miRNA定量研究的特别要求(参见" miScript II RT Kit buffers")。miScript HiSpec Buffer配合miScript miRNA PCR Arrays和miScript Primer Assays进行成熟miRNA谱分析和定量实验时,提供理想的结果。miScript HiFlex Buffer适合于低通量miRNA定量实验,从同一样本进行如miRNA、mRNA和前体miRNA等不同种类的RNA的定量实验除外。

miScript HiSpec Buffer进行逆转录实验

使用miScript HiSpec Buffer进行逆转录反应,确保成熟miRNAs的选择性转化,miScript PCR Controls靶向转至cDNA。使用oligo-dT引物,成熟miRNAs通过poly(A)聚合酶加尾后,被逆转录至cDNA(参见" Selective conversion of mature miRNAs into cDNA in miScript HiSpec Buffer")。加尾和逆转录在同一试管内同时进行。oligo-dT引物有一个3'退化锚点和一个在5'端的通用标签序列,可在real-time PCR步骤扩增成熟miRNA。miScript Primer Assays配合miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit,确保通过real-time PCR灵敏、特异性的定量miRNA。加尾和通用标签保证miScript Primer Assays不会检测到基因组DNA。

miScript HiFlex Buffer进行逆转录实验

使用miScript HiFlex Buffer进行逆转录反应,可使所有种类的RNA转化至cDNA(参见" Simultaneous conversion of all RNA species into cDNA in miScript HiFlex Buffer")。使用oligo-dT引物,成熟miRNAs通过poly(A) 聚合酶加尾后,被逆转录至cDNA。加尾和逆转录在同一试管内同时进行。oligo-dT引物有一个3'退化锚点和一个在5'端的通用标签序列,可在real-time PCR步骤扩增成熟miRNA。miScript Primer Assays配合miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit,确保通过real-time PCR定量miRNA。加尾和通用标签确保miScript Primer Assays不会检测到基因组DNA。其它种类RNA(包括miRNA前体、其它非编码RNA和mRNA)使用oligo-dT和随机引物转化至cDNA。配合miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit,使用合适的检测进行real-time PCR的RNAs检测(如用于非编码RNA检测的miScript Primer Assays 、用于miRNA前体检测的miScript Precursor Assays和用于mRNA检测的QuantiTect Primer Assays)。

FAQ

What is the sequence of the miScript Universal Primer?
The sequence of the miScript Universal Primer in the miScript SYBR Green kit is proprietary.
FAQ ID -2994
Are any of the miScript II RT Kit components interchangeable with the miScript Plant RT Kit components?

No, the components of the miScript II RT Kit are not interchangeable with the miScript Plant RT Kit components.

FAQ ID - 3436
Is the expression level of miRNA precursors lower compared to that of mature miRNAs?
In general, precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) levels are lower than those of mature miRNAs. However this is not always the case. Sometimes the levels of both mature and pre-miRNA may be similar, or pre-miRNA levels may be higher. For this reason, researchers often want to quantify pre-miRNA as well as mature miRNA.  QIAGEN offers miScript precursor miRNA assays as well as mature assays for many miRNAs. 
FAQ ID -2807
What is in the HiSpec Buffer that selectively synthesizes cDNA from mature miRNAs ONLY?
The proprietary, patent-pending formulation selectively prohibits the reverse transcription of longer RNAs from being reverse transcribed. Using HiSpec Buffer, cDNA can be efficiently synthesized from RNA molecules ranging up to 100 bp. Mature miRNAs are < 25 bp, while some precursor miRNAs are longer than 100 bp. As a result, HiSpec Buffer is ONLY recommended for mature miRNAs.
FAQ ID -3168
Can the miScript II RT Kit be used to quantify plant miRNAs?

No, the miScript II RT Kit cannot be used to quantify plant miRNAs. Small RNAs possessing a 2’-O-methyl (2’-O-Me) modification on their 3’ terminal base, such as plant mature miRNAs and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), are refractory to polyadenylation. As a result, they cannot be efficiently reverse transcribed using a polyadenylation-based cDNA synthesis approach, which is the underlying mechanism of various miRNA reverse transcription kits including the miScript II RT Kit.

FAQ ID - 3431
Can I use total RNA for the miRNA PCR Arrays or Assays?
Yes, you can. In fact, total RNA is the recommended starting material for the miScript PCR System. We recommend using the miRNeasy Mini Kit (217004) to isolate total RNA for use with the miScript PCR System.
FAQ ID -2726
Can the miScript II RT Kit be used to quantify piRNAs?

No, the miScript II RT Kit cannot be used to quantify piRNAs. Small RNAs possessing a 2’-O-methyl (2’-O-Me) modification on their 3’ terminal base, such as plant mature miRNAs and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), are refractory to polyadenylation. As a result, they cannot be efficiently reverse transcribed using a polyadenylation-based cDNA synthesis approach, which is the underlying mechanism of various reverse transcription kits including the miScript II RT Kit.
