Figure Lengend Snippet: List and characteristic features of oligonucleotide primers and probes used in this study. F: forward, R: reverse, PR: probe, RT: reverse transcription, Tm: melting temperature, RT-qPCR: singleplex/triplex RT-qPCR assays. 6-FAM: 6-Carboxyfluorescein; SUN: a fluorophore with a similar spectrum as HEX and VIC dyes. Cy5: Cyanine 5/IABkFQ/3′ Iowa Black ® FQ quencher; /IAbRQSp/3′ Iowa Black ® RQ quencher. ZEN, TAO: internal quenchers. 3′RACE: 3′ Rapid Amplification of cDNA ends. sn-PCR: semi-nested PCR, *: 3′RACE-snPCR product lengths were calculated with Adapter-1 as a reverse primer. # The primer is used only for reverse transcription reactions.
Article Snippet: For 3′ Rapid Amplification of cDNA ends in semi-nested RT-PCR (3′RACE-snPCR) reactions 5-5 μL of total RNA was converted to cDNA using Oligo dT-Anchor-Adapter primer ( ) and MAXIMA H-minus RT enzyme (Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) in a reverse transcription (RT) reaction in the total volume of 20 μL according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
