Abstract

The synthesis of cDNA from RNA is challenging due to the inefficiency of reverse transcription (RT). In order to address this, a method was developed known as RT-Bst for sequential RT of RNA and Bst DNA polymerase amplification for enrichment of cDNA in a single tube reaction. Using genomic RNA from bacteriophage MS2, the yield of cDNA produced by RT alone and RT-Bst were compared by analysis of PCR-amplified products. Using random primers a superior performance was observed when amplifying MS2 RNA following RT-Bst compared to RT alone, indicating that greater quantities of cDNA were present after RT-Bst. RT-Bst was also compared with RT alone for their relative ability to produce sufficient cDNA to amplify 8 target regions spanning the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) genome. Six out of 8 targets were amplified consistently by PCR subsequent to RT-Bst amplification whereas only 3 out of 8 targets could be amplified after RT alone. RSV sequences were selectively amplified using RSV specific primers from a mixed template containing an excess of MS2 RNA in a RT-Bst reaction without amplifying MS2 sequences. This suggests that RT-Bst can be used to amplify RNA sequences non-specifically using random primers and specifically using sequence specific primers and enhances the yield of cDNA when compared to RT alone.
