Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Methods for producing linearly amplified amounts of (+) strand RNA from an initial mRNA source are provided. In the subject methods, an initial mRNA source, e.g., total RNA, is converted to double-stranded cDNA using a second strand cDNA promoter-primer having a promoter sequence recognized by an RNA polymerase located at its 5' end. The resultant double-stranded cDNA is then transcribed into (+) RNA. The subject methods find use in a variety of different applications in which the preparation of linearly amplified amounts of (+) RNA is desired. Also provided are kits for practicing the subject methods.
