Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a novel Universal RT-coupled PCR strategy for the specific detection and accurate quantitation of mRNA. Claimed and disclosed are novel Universal reverse transcription (RT) primers, a specific primer mix containing the Universal RT-primers, a transcript specific forward primer and a reverse PCR primer identical to a unique tag sequence, and methods and kits thereof for avoiding the amplification of genomic DNA and/or pseudogenes.
