Can anyone comment or suggest how to standardize bacterial 16S realtime PCR primers for detecting bacterial presence/absence through qPCR?
Given how conserved 16S sequences are, you are prone to false positives from closely related species. For presence/absence you might want to also target some other genes.
Hi Robert, Thanks for the kind reply.
Instead of checking only the mRNA level, I want to check the active protein level of MMP-1 in Liver tissue from mice. How can I do that?
