Hello,
I performed RNA Extraction from ~90 blood samples by TRIzol, got a good RNA and converted it to cDNA, then diluted all the cDNA to 500ng/ul for RT-PCR.
I performed GAPDH first, the ct values ranged from 25 - 35, and all of them showed amplification.
then I tried my target gene, but only ~ 40 of my 90 samples gave detected amplification. all other samples showed no amplification at all.
I tried to use 2ul of cDNA instead of 1 ul, I also tried to use 1.25ul of primers instead of 1 ul, but nothing changed.
Any suggestions of why this happened? and how to solve it?
Many thanks.
