PCR quantitative en temps réel Lydie Pradel
PCR semi-quantitative 25 cycles
Sybr Green Fluorogenic 5’Nuclease Assay Binds dsDNA Use Taqman probe
Sybr Green fluoresces upon binding to double stranded PCR product Emitted Fluorescence is proportional to amount of amplified product detected in every sample
Specificity check of Sybr Green Gel or melting curve analysis (Real-time PCR system) Sharp, single peak indicates specific amplification
Signal generation with TaqMan Probe Uses2 principles: - FRET technology - 5’-Nuclease activity of the Taq polymerase PCR specificity (primers) Hybridization specificity (probe) Dyes: FAM, VIC, TAMRA
TaqMan Probe Sybr Green Specificity primer binding Primer binding Probe hybridization PCR conditions PCR conditions Flexibility Multiplex easy, only primers needed SNP detection Optimization Ckeck primer dimer formation

Passive reference ROX dye This inert dye, whose fluorescence does not change during the reaction, may be added to quantitative, real-time PCR reactions to normalize the well-to-well differences that may occur due to artifacts such as pipetting errors or instrument limitations. ROX dye normalizes for non-PCR related fluorescence variation Sample 1 Sample 2 FAM dye Rn Fluorecsence Fluorecsence FAM dye ROX dye Rn ROX dye Reporter/Passive reference Rn=

Primer specificity: efficiency If slope= -3,32 efficiency becomes 1
Quantification Absolute quantification Standard curve Relative quantification Relative increase or decrease No standard curve Calculation of results by comparison of Ct value « comparative Ct method » Definition of - Endogenous Control - Calibrator
Endogenous Control (EC) - Amount of cDNA per well - Constant expression level in all samples - EC normalizes for - RNA input measurementerrors - RT efficiency variations Ex: Actine, GAPDH …
