メモ

1. Primer Design

The use of qPCR primer design software (e.g., Primer3) maximizes the likelihood of amplification success while minimizing nonspecific amplification and primer dimers. Targets with balanced GC/AT content (40–60%) tend to amplify most efficiently. Where possible, enter sufficient sequence around the area of interest to permit robust primer design and use search criteria that permit cross-reference against relevant sequence databases (to avoid potential off-target amplification). It is advisable to design primers across known RNA splicing sites in order to prevent amplification from genomic DNA.


2. Primer and Probe Concentrations
For most targets, a final concentration of 400 nM (each primer) will provide optimum performance. If needed, primer concentrations can be optimized between 100–900 nM. Probe should be included at 200 nM for best results. Probe concentration can be optimized in the range of 100–500 nM.

3. Multiplexing
When determining which fluorophores to include in a multiplex reaction, be sure to choose compatible reporter dyes and quenchers (e.g., those that can be accommodated by the chosen real-time instrument with minimal overlap in fluorescence spectra). For ROX-dependent instruments, avoid ROX-labeled probes. Include 400 nM of forward and reverse primers and 200 nM probe for each target to be detected in the reaction. For targets that differ significantly in abundance, use of a lower primer concentration (e.g. 200 nM) for the more abundant target(s) is recommended. Adjust concentrations if necessary based on performance (primer 100–900 nM, probe 100–500 nM). When loading a qPCR protocol onto the real-time instrument, be sure to select the appropriate optical channels, as some instruments have a single channel recording mode that would prevent multiplex data collection and analysis. The functionality of the primer and probe sets should be tested individually before attempting a multiplex reaction.

4. Amplicon Length
To ensure successful and consistent qPCR results, it is important to maximize PCR efficiency. An important aspect of this is the design of short PCR amplicons (typically 70–200 bp). Some optimization may be required for targets that exceed that range.

5.Template Preparation and Concentration
Luna RT-qPCR is compatible with RNA samples prepared through typical nucleic acid purification methods. Prepared RNA should be stored in an EDTA-containing buffer (e.g., 1X TE) for long-term stability, and dilutions should be freshly prepared for a qPCR experiment in either TE or water. Note that the quality of RNA templates can greatly affect RT-qPCR efficiency. RNA should be handled with appropriate precautions to prevent RNase or DNase contamination. Use of nuclease-free water (provided) is strongly recommended. Where useful, RNA may be treated with DNase I to remove contaminating genomic DNA.
Generally, a useful concentration of standard and unknown material will be in the range of 108 copies to 10 copies. Note that for dilutions in the single-copy range, some samples will contain multiple copies and some will have none, as defined by the Poisson distribution. For total RNA, Luna One-Step Kits can provide linear quantitation over an 8-order input range of 1 μg – 0.1 pg. For most targets, a standard input range of 100 ng – 10 pg total RNA is recommended. For purified mRNA, input of ≤ 100 ng is recommended. For in vitro-transcribed RNA, input of ≤ 109 copies is recommended.

6.ROX Reference Dye
Some real-time instruments recommend the use of a passive reference dye (typically ROX) to overcome well-to-well variations that could be caused by machine limitations such as “edge effect”, bubbles, small differences in volume, and autofluorescence from dust or particulates in the reaction. However, ROX normalization does little to the variations caused by pipetting errors of templates/primers, heterogeneous mixing, and evaporation/condensation issues.

A universal passive reference dye is included in the following Luna® qPCR products: Luna Universal qPCR Master Mix (NEB #M3003), Luna Universal Probe qPCR Master Mix (NEB #M3004), Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (NEB #E3005), and Luna Universal Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (NEB #E3006). These products support broad instrument compatibility (High-ROX, Low-ROX, ROX-independent) so no additional ROX is required for normalization.

The Luna Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (No ROX) (E3007) contains no reference dye and is compatible with any instrument that does not require ROX. If ROX normalization is needed, ROX can be added. Please refer to instrument manufacturer’s instructions for greater details.

7. Carryover Contamination Prevention
RT-qPCR is an extremely sensitive method, and contamination in new RT-qPCR assays with products from previous amplification reactions can cause a variety of issues, such as false positive results and a decrease in sensitivity. The best way to prevent this “carryover” contamination is to practice good laboratory procedures and avoid opening the reaction vessel post amplification. However, to accommodate situations where additional anti-contamination measures are desired, Luna qPCR mixes contains a mixture of dUTP/dTTP that results in the incorporation of dU into the DNA product during amplification. Pretreatment of qPCR/RT-qPCR experiments with uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) will eliminate previously-amplified uracil-containing products by excising the uracil base to produce a non-amplifiable DNA product. The use of a thermolabile UDG is important, as complete inactivation of the UDG is required to prevent destruction of newly synthesized qPCR products.

To enable carryover prevention, 0.025 units/μl Antarctic Thermolabile UDG (NEB #M0372) should be added to the reaction mix. To maximize elimination of contaminating products, set up the qPCR experiments at room temperature or include a 10 minute incubation step at 25°C before the initial denaturation step.

8. Reaction Setup and Cycling Conditions
Due to dual hot-start feature of Luna One-Step Kits, it is not necessary to set up reactions on ice or preheat the thermocycler prior to use.
For 96-well plates, a final reaction volume of 20 μl is recommended.
For 384-well plates, a final reaction volume of 10 μl is recommended.
When programming instrument cycling conditions, ensure a plate read is included at the end of the extension step, and a denaturation (melt) curve after cycling is complete to analyze product specificity.
Amplification for 40 cycles is sufficient for most applications, but for very low input samples 45 cycles may be used.
