Enhanced Avian Reverse Transcriptase [eAMV™ RT]

Application

Enhanced Avian Reverse Transcriptase (eAMV RT) is used to transcribe RNA into DNA, and facilitates efficient mRNA template driven sysnthesis of cDNAs. This is due to the abillity of this enhanced AMV-RT to transcribe large mRNA templates, to transcribe through difficult secondary structures, and to detect low abundance mRNAs by RT-PCR.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Reverse transcriptase catalyzes RNA template incorporation of dNTPs into complimantary DNA through phosphodiester bond formation.

Features and Benefits

• Greater sensitivity for low abundance mRNA
• Unsurpassed transcription through difficult secondary structures at elevated temperatures (up to 65°C)
• Efficient generation of full-length cDNA, up to 14.1 kb

Packaging

Provided with a vial of 10× reaction buffer.

Unit Definition

One unit incorporates one nanomole of TMP into TCA precipitable material in 10 min using polyadenylic acid as template and oligo(dT)12-18 as a primer.
