A Competitive RT-PCR to Study Apolipoprotein E Gene Gxpression in Adipose Cells / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish the method to detect the expression of apolipoprotein E gene in human adipose cells. Methods Apolipoprotein E gene expression was determined by competitive reverse transcription-PCR in adipose cells of healthy children. Results Apolipoprotein E gene expressed in the adipose cells of healthy children. The mean expression quantity of apolipoprotein E mRNA in adipose cells was (0.41?0.12 ) in healthy children. Conclusions Competitive reverse transcription-PCR is a rapid, simple, sensitive and accurate method to analyze expression of apolipoprotein E gene.
