Not simply biochemical pathways or kinase cascades

•

Published association with the biological or disease
pathway gathered from overlapping sources, including:
• Multiple Publicly Accessible Databases

Interpretation of Ct values
- Fold change calculations: PCR Array results / data

1 Raw Ct Value: Relative expression level of that gene in the sample
2 Data normalization = ∆Ct per Gene = Ct Gene X - Ct HKGs (Avg)
3 Up or down-regulation
= ∆∆Ct per Gene = ∆Ct Condition 2 - ∆Ct Condition 1

Fold change results per gene = 2-∆∆Ct
Ex. My gene is present 4X more in the treated sample than in control sample.
Now not only gene, but GENES in a Pathway (some up, some down)

•
•
•
•
•

Sensitivity (25 ng – 5 µg)
– Enhanced Sensitivity with PreAMP Technology (1 ng)
Specificity
Reproducibility

High sensitivity
- 25 ng to 5 ug of RNA

*

• Human Inflammatory Cytokines &
Receptors Array used to analyze uninduced cells. Genes represented at
very low copy numbers.
• 25 ng - 1 µg total RNA per 96-well plate*
• 99% of genes detectable with > 500 ng
• > 80% of genes detectable with 25 ng

• Very sensitive assay!
Human Inflammatory Cytokines & Receptors
PCR Array tested with Universal Reference RNA

*RT2 PreAMP: 1 ng RNA

Conclusion: See gene expression as rare as UN-induced cytokines.

  • 27. High sensitivity - 25 ng to 5 ug of RNA * • Human Inflammatory Cytokines & Receptors Array used to analyze uninduced cells. Genes represented at very low copy numbers. • 25 ng - 1 µg total RNA per 96-well plate* • 99% of genes detectable with > 500 ng • > 80% of genes detectable with 25 ng • Very sensitive assay! Human Inflammatory Cytokines & Receptors PCR Array tested with Universal Reference RNA *RT2 PreAMP: 1 ng RNA Conclusion: See gene expression as rare as UN-induced cytokines. - 27 - Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 28. High reproducibility - With different users and different instruments Reproducibility Among Different Instruments Reproducibility Among Different Users Human Drug Metabolism PCR Array in Universal Reference RNA Conclusion: Same raw threshold cycle data can be obtained for the same samples even from different end users at different times or using different instruments. - 28 - Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 29. Uniform high PCR amplification efficiency Why this matters? Cycle Gene 1: Your Design (AE=100%) Gene 1: Friends Design (AE=85%) 0 1 1 1 2 1.85 2 4 3.42 .. 35 3.4x1010 ∆ 2.2 x109 15x Difference Does NOT reflect biology….rather, a technical issue But you would have reported this as a biological finding Conclusion: Accurate and reliable ∆∆Ct results are guaranteed. - 29 - Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 30. Wide dynamic range Human Acetylcholine Receptor α5 Measure genes that are overexpressed as well as those genes that are underexpressed Conclusion: Wide dynamic range to accommodate varying levels of initial gene expression. - 30 - Sample & Assay Technologies
  • 31. Replicates: technical & biological Technical • Not necessary • • • Save time & money Reproducibility of the PCR Arrays is very high Results demonstrate that what you are seeing is a result of biology, not technique RTC & PPC show technical reproducibility on each plate, and comparable across plates. Biological • • Needed to verify the results are a result of biology At least 3 replicates per condition for statistical analysis -> p values - 31 - Sample & Assay Technologies
