The Access RT-PCR System is designed for the reverse transcription (RT) and PCR amplification of a specific target RNA from total RNA or mRNA. This one-tube, two-enzyme system provides sensitive, quick and reproducible analysis of even rare RNAs. The system uses AMV Reverse Transcriptase (AMV RT) from Avian Myeloblastosis Virus for first-strand DNA synthesis and thermostable Tfl DNA polymerase from Thermus flavus for second-strand cDNA synthesis and DNA amplification. The Access RT-PCR System includes an optimized single-buffer system that permits extremely sensitive detection of RNA transcripts without a requirement for buffer additions between the reverse transcription and PCR amplification steps. This simplifies the procedure and reduces the potential for contaminating the samples. In addition, the improved performance of AMV Reverse Transcriptase at elevated temperatures in the AMV/Tfl 5X Reaction Buffer minimizes problems encountered with secondary structures in RNA.

Avian Myeloblastosis Virus Reverse Transcriptase (AMV RT) catalyzes DNA polymerization using template DNA, RNA or RNA:DNA hybrids. It requires a primer (DNA primers are more efficient than RNA primers) as well as Mg(2+) or Mn(2+). The enzyme possesses an intrinsic RNase H activity. Both nonionic detergents and sulfhydryl compounds stabilize the enzyme activity in vitro.

Promega dNTPs have greater than 99% triphosphate content and are provided at a concentration of 100mM in water at pH 7.5. dUTP (2'-Deoxyuridine, 5'-Triphosphate) can be used in place of dTTP in PCR and RT-PCR protocols to prevent carryover from previous amplifications. The substitution of dUTP for dTTP in PCR results in uracil-containing PCR products that are suitable for most standard applications. The enzyme uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG, also referred to as UDG) can be added to a PCR premix to excise uracil from any contaminating PCR product, thereby preventing false positives. Each lot of dUTP is function-tested to ensure specific DNA amplification and the absence of nuclease activity.

dNTP Mix is a premixed solution containing sodium salts of dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP, each at 10mM in water at pH 7.5; the total concentration of nucleotides is 40mM. One microliter of the dNTP Mix in a 50ul reaction will give a final dNTP concentration of 200uM for each dNTP.

This form of M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase has been genetically altered to remove the associated RNase H activity. Although many researchers are successful in using M-MLV RT (H+) for analytical and some preparative cDNA applications, reverse transcriptases lacking RNase H activity provide another option to prepare long cDNAs and libraries containing a high percentage of full-length cDNA.

Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase, RNase H Minus (M-MLV RT [H-]), Point Mutant, is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that can be used in cDNA synthesis with long RNA templates (>5kb). The lack of RNase H activity is beneficial for this application, as RNase H can start to degrade templates when incubation times are long, as they may be when synthesizing long cDNAs. Although many researchers are successful in using M-MLV RT (H+) for analytical and some preparative cDNA applications, reverse transcriptases lacking RNase H activity provide another option to prepare long cDNAs and libraries containing a high percentage of full-length cDNA.

Native and Recombinant RNasin Inhibitors are 50kDa proteins that inhibit RNase A family and human placental RNases by noncovalently binding to RNases in a 1:1 ratio. For downstream applications such as GoScript Reverse Transcriptase, AMV/M-MLV reverse transcriptases, SP6, T7/T3 RNA polymerase, and Taq DNA polymerases, Recombinant RNasin Inhibitor does not inhibit RNase T1, S1 nuclease, RNase from Aspergillus, RNase H, RNase ONE Ribonuclease and enzymes. RNasin Plus RNase Inhibitor is a recombinant mammalian RNase inhibitor that is expressed as a soluble protein in E. coli, allowing easy purification through a combination of ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The protein is capable of inhibiting eukaryotic RNases (e.g., RNase A and RNase B) similarly to human placental RNase inhibitor. RNasin Plus RNase Inhibitor is tested in RT-PCR and compatible with enzymes such as AMV, M-MLV and ImProm-II Reverse Transcriptases or Taq and Tfl DNA Polymerases.
