The MessageAmp™ II aRNA Amplification Kit amplifies as little as 100 pg of input RNA for GeneChip® analysis. Advantages of the MessageAmp™ II aRNA Amplification Kit:
• Increased amplification—up to 5,000-fold • Greater sensitivity due to increased yields of full-length cDNA • GeneChip® analysis with as little as 100 ng input RNA • Efficient labeling produces high percent present calls and low 3'/5' ratios • Includes ArrayScript™ RT, a specifically engineered M-MLV reverse transcriptase • Optimized second strand cDNA synthesis reaction
System overview Expression profiling using gene arrays has become the most widely used method for assessing gene expression on a genome-wide/scale. The primary limitation of this technology is the requirement for large amounts of RNA for array hybridization. This hurdle is usually overcome by using T7 RNA polymerase-driven transcription of cDNA (obtained from total RNA samples) to amplify sufficient amounts of cRNA. This amplification method is the basis of the MessageAmp™ II aRNA Amplification Kit.
An improved kit for cDNA amplification Included in the kit is ArrayScript™ RT, a rationally engineered M-MLV reverse transcriptase, which produces equivalent or higher yields of full-length cDNA compared to other enzymes. The use of ArrayScript™ RT in conjunction with the optimization of the second-strand cDNA synthesis reaction results in increased conversion of mRNA into full-length, double-stranded cDNA templates. In addition, since the in vitro transcription (IVT) uses MEGAscript® technology, the IVT incubation times are shortened. These improvements in the MessageAmp™ II kit also carry through to two-round reactions, facilitating robust amplification of total RNA from samples as low as 100 pg.
Accessory products Bio-11-UTP (Cat. No. AM8450) and Bio-16-UTP (Cat. No. AM8451) can be used in MessageAmp™ aRNA amplification reactions for target labeling for GeneChip® analysis. The Bio-UTPs are confirmed free of nonspecific endonuclease activity, exonuclease activity, and RNase activity, and are functionally tested using the MessageAmp™ II aRNA Amplification Kit.
