Popis: Objective: To explore the usefulness of long distance reverse transcript combining linear amplification (LD-RTPCR) in labeling slight trace probe used for cDNA microarray. Methods: Total RNA from BEP2D cells was extracted and labeled by two different methods, LD-RTPCR with Cy3-dCTP as fluorescent dye and traditionally used RNA reverse transcript (RT) with Cy5-dCTP as fluorescent dye. Then, the probes labeled by two methods were mixed equally and hybridized with the cDNA microarray. Results: Scan and analysis of the microarray showed that the two methods labeled probes had consistent results. Conclusion: LD-RTPCR was proved useful for labeling cDNA microarray probe, especially for limited RNA material.
