Establishment and application of a RT-PCR system for quantifying mRNA of 4 hsp genes in human cells / 中国医学科学院学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a RT-PCR system for detecting mRNA expression level of 4 hsp genes in human cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>RT-PCR system was established with gene cloning, gene recombination, in vitro transcription and RT-PCR techniques; The detection of expression level of 4 hsp genes in SW13 cell was carried out with this system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In SW13 cell, hsp70 and hsp90 alpha were typical heat shock induced genes, while hsp60 and hsp90 beta were efficiently expressed and further induced by heat-shock to various extent.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In our hands novel RT-PCR system can be used to detect mRNA expression level of 4 human hsp genes.</p>
