Introduction to cDNA 

BioChain's PCR Ready First Strand cDNA is an excellent source of tissue specific, PCR-ready, first strand cDNA. It can be immediately used for gene discovery or expression analysis. BioChain provides the largest selection of tissue cDNAs on the research market, this product line covers over 358 cDNAs from human adult and fetal normal tissues, human diseased and tumor tissues, rat, mouse, monkey and plant tissues.

Features
  • Ready to use for PCR
  • Oligo dT primer used to ensure the entire 3' end of cDNA is present
  • With some cDNA used as templates, 12 kb PCR amplicon was obtained to ensure the intact cDNAs
  • The largest selection of cDNAs from different tissues on the market
  • Documentation of tissues' clinical histories available
  • Applications
  • Immediate PCR Amplification of known genes
  • Verification of genetic mutation
  • Comparison of a specific gene between different tissues
  • Analysis of mRNA alternative splicing
  • Gene cloning and target sequencing
  • Description
    First-Strand cDNA is synthesized from RNA isolated from a wide variety of documented human adult and fetel normal tissues, human diseased and tumor tissues, mouse, rat, monkey and plant tissues. Total RNA used for cDNA synthesis is isolated by modified guanidine thiocyanate techniques. 11 µg total RNA was primed by an oligo dT primer and reverse transcribed by MMLV reverse transcriptase in 40 µl final volume. RT reaction was stopped by heatiµg at 65°C for 10 minutes. The cDNA is delivered in 1x RT buffer. (1x RT Buffer: 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 10 mM DTT). 1 µl cDNA is sufficient for one PCR reaction. The 5' end of human clathrin cDNA (a 6 kb gene) has been amplified by PCR from all of these cDNAs.
    Storage Conditions
    Store cDNAs at -20°C
