Multiplex One Step RT-PCR Real Time Six Targets Two tubes

 

Type I interferonopathies are characterized by an increase of circulating type I interferon (IFN) concentration. Type I interferonopathies refer to rare Mendelian genetic disorders such as Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS) as well as more frequent and polygenic auto-immune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Detection of type I IFN in these patients remains challenging as its amount is usually very low in patients' sera. Thus, the detection of interferon-stimulating genes has been proposed as an alternative for the detection of this cytokine but sensitivy, specificity and predictive values of the assay have not been reported so far (1).

 

The IFNsig.Type I Multiplex One Step kit is a real-time PCR assay able to reverse-transcribe and amplify RNA in a single step. Thanks to the multiplex version, the RNA is tested with two different mixes that will return the data of the six genes stimulated by Interferon α and the housekeeping gene. The relative quantification of the gene expression of these targets is performed with the ΔΔCt method (5) and the fold change obtained is expressed in arbitrary units. Easy to use and complete, the IFNsig.Type I One Step kit is an optimal solution for all molecular diagnostics laboratories.
