Methods A pair of specific primers of exon 12a of P4HA2 was designed, and the related PCR-reaction system and condition were optimized. Then the recombinant plasmid containing the target fragment was constructed for making standard curve with SYBR green based real-time RT-PCR. Finally, the sensitivity, reproducibility, and specificity of this method were fully estimated. Results The sensitivity of the method was 1.5E+04 copies/mL of P4HA2 mRNA, corresponding to 103 fibroblasts. In addition, existence of 8.67E+06 leukocytes could not interfere with the accurate quantification of HELF in the large dynamic range. The intra-assay variability and inter-assay variability both varied in different concentrations, being higher in low concentrations and lower in high concentrations. But all of them were below 13.76% in variation, which showed acceptable stability of this method. Conclusion SYBR green and specific primer based real-time RT-PCR show up a good quality for quantifying HELF P4HA2 mRNA with good specificity, stability, and high sensitivity. Approximate 10 copies of P4HA2 mRNA per cell in average can be detected by the method. Therefore, this method can be used to deduct fibroblast-associated CMV for correcting CMV inactivation efficiency in leukocytes.展开更多
