Quantitative real-time PCR (
Q-PCR) was performed using an ABI Prism 7500 sequence-detection system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) with SYBR Green Realtime PCR Master Mix (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan), under the manufacturer's instructions.
Table I.- Primer information of candidate gene using
q-PCR.
To validate gene expression, we randomly chose the upregulated genes HIF-1A, NF-[kappa]B, and BIRC3 and the downregulated gene Bcl2 to do the
q-PCR. The specificity of
q-PCR primers was confirmed by regular PCR (Additional file 3).
The
Q-PCR experiment was performed in triplicate, with each reaction solution (20 [micro]L) containing 200 nM of each primer, 10 [micro]L of 2X SYBR Green Supermix (BioRad), and 5-30 ng of the DNA template.
Absolute
Q-PCR. To generate the absolute quantitative standard curve for
Q-PCR analysis on lentivirus copy number measurement, we used the PCR product of the mouse GUS gene and cloned it with the TA cloning vector (pTA[R] Easy Cloning Kit), which was purchased from Genomics BioSci and Tech (Taipei, Taiwan).
(a) Expression of Cadm1 in different developmental stages of mouse inner ear examined by
Q-PCR. The bar graphs show quantification of the PCR results with each value representing the mean [+ or -] standard error.
Expression of IL-10 and TLR4 in T Cell after Transfection by
Q-PCR and ELISA.
Moreover, quantitative analysis using
q-PCR revealed that HDF supplemented with 30 [micro]M RA suppressed mRNA expression of iNOS to 20.8% of TNF-[alpha] alone (P<0.05; Figure 3B).

Q-PCR analysis
In order to investigate the effect of mechanical injury on ECM metabolism, the ECM production of L929 fibroblast was detected using Western blot and
q-PCR after 5333 [mu]strain.
The authors would also like to thank the Genetics and Molecular Biology Laboratory, Directorate of Poultry Research, Hyderabad, for giving them access to their
Q-PCR facility.
