Examples in This
Chapter
The screenshots that appear within this chapter were created using a series of
TaqMan
®
Cytokine Gene Expression Plates (PN 4304671), a research tool for
real-time, in vitro quantitative evaluation of human cytokine gene expression. The
plate detects the expression of 12 cytokine target sequences and an endogenous
control in complementary DNA (cDNA) samples. The TaqMan Cytokine Gene
Expression Plate I consists of a MicroAmp
®
Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate arranged
into 24 replicate groups, each containing TaqMan probes and primers for the assay of
one human cytokine mRNA and an endogenous control. Figure 6-8 illustrates the
assay configurations for the plate.
The study used to produce the screenshots for this section consisted of four plates of
a time-course experiment run to evaluate the expression of 24 target cytokine mRNA
over a 36-hour period.
