l concentration of probe (200 to 400 nM molecular beacon or
linear hydrolysis probe); 10 U of StrataScript reverse transcriptase (RT); 2.5 U
of SureStart Taq DNA polymerase; and RNA template (total RNA, poly (A)
+
RNA, or in vitro transcribed RNA). Each experiment was performed with no-RT
controls, in which StrataScript RT was omitted from the reaction and with no-template
controls. Other commercially available reagents and TaqMan chemistry were tested
according to the manufacturers recommendations. The following thermal cycling
conditions were used for testing molecular beacons with the Brilliant
single-step quantitative RT-PCR core kit: 45C for 30 minutes; 95C for 10
minutes; 40 cycles of 95C for 30 seconds, 55C for 1 minute; followed by
72C for 30 seconds. The following thermal cycling conditions were used for
testing linear hybridization probes with the Brilliant single-step quantitative
RT-PCR core kit: 45C for 30 minutes; 95C for 10 minutes; 40 cycles of 95C
for 30 seconds; followed by 60C for 1 minute. All RT-PCR reactions can be
cycled in a temperature cycler designed to detect changes in fluorescence in
real time.
Two-step QRT-PCR: All first-strand synthesis reactions were performed
in 200-l thin-wall reaction tubes in a 10-l reaction volume with Stratagenes
RoboCycler 96 temperature cycler. The RT reaction contained 1X RT
buffer, 5.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM each dNTP, reverse primer, 100 ng of
random oligomers, and RNA template. Reactions in which the RT was omitted were
included in each experiment. The reactions were annealed at 25C for 10 minutes
[for oligo(dT) or random oligomers], after which 10 U of StrataScript RT was
added. The reactions were incubated at 45C for 30 minutes, then at 95C for 5
minutes. An aliquot (1 l) of the first-strand synthesis reaction was added to
optical tubes containing 1X Brilliant Plus QPCR core buffer; the optimal
concentration of MgCl
