We describe an RT-PCR protocol that allows high-resolution mapping of splicing products and isoforms using fluorescently labeled primers. Each species contains one fluorescent group allowing a direct comparison of the different isoforms despite size differences. A custom-size ladder enables the precise determination of cDNA lengths and discrimination of isoforms differing by less than five nucleotides on polyacrylamide gels. This protocol also allows the detection of products from splicing reactions, circumventing the need to use radiolabeled transcripts. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gabunilas and Chanfreau (2016).
我们描述了一种 RT-PCR 方案,该方案使用荧光标记引物允许对剪接产物和亚型进行高分辨率作图。每种物质包含一个荧光基团,允许直接比较不同的亚型,尽管存在大小差异。自定义大小的梯允许精确确定 cDNA 长度,并区分相差不到五个核苷酸的亚型在聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上。该方案还允许检测来自剪接反应的产物,从而避免使用放射性标记的转录本。有关此方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Gabunilas 和 Chanfreau(2016 年)。
