Analysis of TLR5 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0706-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: toll like receptor 5<br />Also known as: SLE1; TIL3; SLEB1; MELIOS<br />This gene encodes a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family, which plays an important role in pathogen recognition and activation of the innate immune response. These receptors recognize distinct pathogen-associated molecular patterns that are expressed on infectious agents. The protein encoded by this gene recognizes bacterial flagellin, the major component of flagella and a virulence factor. Activation of this receptor activates nuclear factor NF-κB, which in turn activates a series of inflammation-related target genes. Mutations in this gene are associated with resistance and susceptibility in systemic lupus erythematosus and susceptibility to Legionnaires' disease.




Principle

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is an experimental method applied to PCR experiments using RNA as the starting material. In this method, total or messenger RNA (mRNA) is first transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) by reverse transcriptase. Subsequently, qPCR reaction was performed using cDNA as template.

Applications

Gene mutation analysis.

Procedure

1. Sample processing and preparation of PCR reaction system.
2. Add the amplification template, cover the PCR reaction cover, mix well, centrifuge at low speed instantaneously, and transfer to the PCR instrument.
3. Set the program for PCR amplification.
4. Data analysis.

Materials

Sample: depends on the customer's analysis requirements
