尽管实际体积取决于用于第一链合成反应的RNA起始量和靶标基因的丰度，但我们建议使用10%的第一链cDNA反应产物进行PCR反应。
While the volume is dependent on the starting amount of RNA used for the first-strand synthesis and the abundance of the target gene, we'd recommend starting with 10% of the first-strand reaction for your PCR reaction.
The optimal temperature for SuperScript III RT is 50 degrees C, and can be used up to 55 degrees C. For some qRT-PCR reactions where gene-specific primers are used, you can do the RT reaction at 60 degrees C. The optimal temperature for SuperScript II RT is 42 degrees C, and can be used up to 50 degrees C. Optimal temperature for MMLV is 42 degrees C. ThermoScript RT shows optimal activity at 60 degrees C, and can be used at temperatures as high as 70 degrees C (for amplicons expected to be 1 kb or less). For PCR products expected to be greater than 1 kb, a maximum first strand synthesis temperature of 60-65 degrees C is suggested. Be sure your first-strand primer anneals at the high temperature, especially when gene-specific primers are used for high-temperature stable reverse transcriptases. We recommend oligo (dT)20 for cDNA synthesis when using an oligo (dT) primer for first-strand synthesis with these enzymes.
When using GeneAmp RNA PCR kit (part number N808-0017) with M-MLV, the recommended temperature for reverse transcription is 42°C. It is not recommended that reverse transcription be done at a higher temperature with this enzyme because it will start to lose significant activity. If it is necessary to do reverse transcription at a higher temperature due to strong secondary structure or high G+C content, the recommended enzyme to use would be rTth DNA polymerase, which is included in the GeneAmp Thermostable rTth Reverse Transcriptase RNA PCR kit (part number N808-0069).
