Megaplex RT Primers pools (for human Type A cards Cat. No. 4399966, for Type B cards Cat. No. 4444281)
You can proceed with or without a preamplification step which depends on the total RNA amount. Total RNA amount of 1‐1000 ng supports reverse transcription reaction with preamplification, whereas 350‐1000 ng of total RNA supports a reaction without preamplification.
In case you are performing preamplification you would also need the TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix (Cat. No. 4391128) and the Megaplex PreAmp Primers, Human Pool A v2.1 (Cat. No. 4399233).
You will also need the Master Mix for the qPCR reaction. It is not included in the card kit. The recommended Master Mix is: TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix – run mode Fast (Cat. No. 4444556)

How does the SuperScript IV Single Cell/Low Input cDNA PreAmp Kit differ from TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix?
TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix is designed for targeted preamplification of up to 100 targets from small amounts of cDNA, while SuperScript IV Single Cell/Low Input cDNA PreAmp Kit allows global preamplification of full-length cDNA from single cells or low input RNA. It provides reagents for cell lysis, reverse transcription and preamplification steps.
How do I reorder the TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix, Cat No. 4384266? It does not match the Cat. No. when I search online.
This is an internal part number for the TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix. To order, please use Cat No. 4391128 for the 40 reaction size or Cat. No. 4488593 for the 200 reaction size. This is the same product.
Target genes of neuron-restrictive silencer factor are abnormally up-regulated in human myotilinopathy.
Authors:Barrachina M, Moreno J, Juves S, Moreno D, Olive M, Ferrer I
Journal:Am J Pathol
PubMed ID:17823282
Myotilinopathy is a subgroup of myofibrillar myopathies caused by mutations in the myotilin gene in which there is aggregation of abnormal cytoskeletal proteins and ubiquitin. We report here on the accumulation of neuron-related proteins such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1), synaptosomal-associated protein 25, synaptophysin, and alpha-internexin in aberrant protein ...

Differential expression of microRNA-675, microRNA-139-3p and microRNA-335 in benign and malignant adrenocortical tumours.
'Background For the clinical management of adrenocortical neoplasms it is crucial to correctly distinguish between benign and malignant tumours. Even histomorphologically based scoring systems do not allow precise separation in single lesions, thus novel parameters are desired which offer a more accurate differentiation. The tremendous potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) as ... More
Deletion of CD14 attenuates Alzheimer's disease pathology by influencing the brain's inflammatory milieu.

Journal:J Neurosci
PubMed ID:21084593
'Alzheimer''s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of beta-amyloid (Abeta)-containing plaques within the brain that is accompanied by a robust microglial-mediated inflammatory response. This inflammatory response is reliant upon engagement of innate immune signaling pathways involving the toll-like receptors (TLRs). Studies assessing the roles of TLRs in AD pathogenesis ... More
Anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule antibodies and the detection of circulating normal-like breast tumor cells.
Authors:Sieuwerts AM, Kraan J, Bolt J, van der Spoel P, Elstrodt F, Schutte M, Martens JW, Gratama JW, Sleijfer S, Foekens JA
Journal:J Natl Cancer Inst
PubMed ID:19116383
'Identification of specific subtypes of circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood of cancer patients can provide information about the biology of metastasis and improve patient management. However, to be effective, the method used to identify circulating tumor cells must detect all tumor cell types. We investigated whether the five ... More
Altered GABAA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission disrupts the firing of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in male mice under conditions that mimic steroid abuse.
Authors:Penatti CA, Davis MC, Porter DM, Henderson LP
Journal:J Neurosci
PubMed ID:20463213
'Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are the central regulators of reproduction. GABAergic transmission plays a critical role in pubertal activation of pulsatile GnRH secretion. Self-administration of excessive doses of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) disrupts reproductive function and may have critical repercussions for pubertal onset in adolescent users. Here, we demonstrate that ... More
