An improved, real-time PCR assay for the detection of GC-rich and low abundance templates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
2006
Abstract The detection of low abundance mRNA and/or GC-rich targets is very difficult using real-time PCR, often requiring laborious optimization procedures. This work shows that formamide is a useful PCR additive, increasing the sensitivity and specificity of SYBR Green real-time PCR to detect low abundance mycobacterial RNA from infected samples.
