Overview It was first introduced in 1992 by Higuchi and coworkers and has seen a rapid increase in its use since (Higuchi et al., 1992, 1993).
Over the past decade, real-time PCR applications have become broadly used tools for the quantification of specific sequences in complex mixtures.
For example Genotyping (Alker et al., 2004; Cheng et al., 2004; Gibson, 2006) Assessing gene copy number in cancer tissue (Bieche et al., 1998;
K¨onigshoff et al., 2003; Kindich et al., 2005) Quantifying viral load in patients (Ward et al., 2004)
However, the most common use for this technology has been to study gene expression levels by coupling it with a procedure called reverse transcription (Gibson et al., 1996; Bi´eche et al., 1999; Leutenegger et al., 1999; Livak and Schmittgen, 2001; Liss, 2002).

Principle
Real-time PCR allows precise quantification of specific nucleic acids in a complex mixture even if the starting amount of material is at a very low concentration.
This is accomplished by monitoring the amplification of a target sequence in real-time using fluorescent technology.
How quickly the amplified target reaches a threshold detection level correlates with the amount of starting material present.

Step 2 Optimizing the PCR Reaction for Real –Time Analysis
i) Primer design
PCR primers for the qPCR step of RT-qPCR should ideally be designed to span an exon-exon junction.
Primers pairs should not significantly complement each other or themselves.
Primer pairs should have approximately equal GC content (between 40% to 70%) and have similar annealing temperatures.
ii) Annealing temperature
Using a temperature gradient analysis to determine the optimal annealing temperature.

1. Absolute Quantification
Requires the construction of an absolute standard curve for each target.
The standard curve is based on a serial dilution of a sample with known copy number.
CT of each standard sample is plotted against the logarithm of the known concentration.
The standard curve is then used to estimate concentrations of unknown samples and gene copy number
ii) Amplicon quantification

Five independent chickpea lines two carrying Cry1Aa3 (462 bp) and three expressing Cry1Ac (533 bp) were used for real time PCR based analysis and southern hybridization.
Real time PCR analysis carried out by using Maxima SYBR Green.
The transgene copy number in transgenic plant sample was calculated by interpolation from a standard curve Ct values generated using known amount of starting DNA concentrations.

Reference gene (Housekeepng genes): Abundantly and constantly expressed gene. Expression level of these genes remains constant. eg 18 S rRNA, GAPDH, β Actin
Comparative CT Method. (Pfaffl, 2001)
This involves comparing CT values of the samples with a control or calibrator such as a non-treated sample.
The CT values of both the calibrator and the samples are normalized to an endogenous housekeeping gene.
This give ∆CT value of control and the sample.
The comparative CT method is also known as 2-∆∆CT method, where ∆∆CT = ∆CT,sample - ∆CT,reference
Fold change = Efficiency-∆∆CT or 2-∆∆CT
(which gives relative gene expression)
2. Relative Quantification
![Page 22: Gene Expression Analysis by Real Time PCR](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103010/587da08b1a28ab22148b637f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
For example - Assume the following average CT for your experimental and control treatments:
Experimental target CT = 27.1; Experimental housekeeping CT = 26.3; Control target CT = 31.3; control housekeeping CT = 26.2.
In addition, assume that the efficiencies for both primer sets are the same at 90% (EP = 1.9). Plugging these into the equations above:
Then ∆∆CT target = (CT control − CT treatment) = (31.3 − 27.1) = 4.2
∆∆CT housekeeping = (CT control − CT treatment) = (26.3 − 26.2) = 0.1
Fold change normalized = (1.9)4.2/(1.9)0.1 = 14.81/1.07 = 13.8. This corresponds to a 13.8 fold increase in gene expression in the treated samples compared to the control samples.

Summary
The measurement of PCR products as they accumulate (i.e., real-time quantitative PCR) removes the variability associated with conventional PCR.
Amplification detection using fluorescent dyes (SYBR green l ) and also by using sequences specific probes (TaqMan, Molecular Beacons).
Two different methods are commonly used to quantify the results obtained by real-time PCR –
Standard curve or absolute quantitation method (Gene copy number).
Relative quantitation also known as the comparative threshold method (Gene expression).
