I. Introduction and Principle
Small, non-coding miRNAs are widely present in eukaryotes. They consist of about 22 nucleotides that
control many important physiological processes in cell development and differentiation. Different miRNAs
express differently at different developmental stages and different tissues. Therefore, the quantitative
assaying of miRNAs is important in both basic and applied research.
The All-in-One™ miRNA qRT-PCR Detection Kit uses real-time PCR technology to quantitatively measure
miRNAs. The experimental procedure includes three major steps (Figure 1)
1) Single-step cDNA Synthesis - Poly A polymerase is used to add poly-A tails to the 3’ end of
miRNAs
2) cDNA Synthesis - At the same time M-MLV RTase and a unique Oligo-dT Adaptor primer reverse
transcribes the poly A miRNAs (The Universal Adaptor PCR primer in combination with a miRNAspecific primer allows detection of specific miRNA)
3) qPCR - The All-in-One qPCR Mix containing SYBR
transcribed miRNA (The miRNA-specific forward primer is used with the Universal Adaptor primer)
Compared to traditional hybridization-based miRNA detection methods such as Northern blot analysis, the
method provided by the All-in-One qRT-PCR kit is faster, more specific and sensitive and use less sample
material.
