ABSTRACT
Quantitative PCR involves co-amplification of two templates: a constant amount of a preparation containing the desired target sequence and varying amounts of a reference template. After amplification, the concentration of the target sequence in the preparation of nucleic acid under test is established by interpolation into a standard curve. Quantitation of nucleic acids by PCR is best performed by real-time PCR (see MC3, pp. 8.94–8.95). However, the following robust protocol, which uses radioactivity to quantify PCRproducts, remains useful when a real-time instrument is unavailable. The method can be easily adapted to other methods of quantification such as fluorometry.
