It is a DNA polymerase that uses single stranded RNA or DNA as template to synthesize complementary DNA strands in the EnzymoPure™M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase (RNase H-) is an optimized Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MuLV) reverse transcriptase without ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity. It is a DNA polymerase that uses single stranded RNA or DNA as template to synthesize complementary DNA strands in the presence of primers. Different from common M-MuLV reverse transcriptase, the EnzymoPure™M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase (RNase H-) lacks RNase H activity, and does not degrade the RNA strand of an RNA-DNA hybrid, thus facilitating the synthesis of long cDNA.

If the volume of dNTP is not 0.8µl, adjust the volume of DEPC-treated water accordingly.b. Mix the reaction by vortex or pipetting gently, centrifuge briefly to allow liquid to accumulate at the bottom of PCR tube.c. Incubate the reaction at 42ºC for 10-60min if Oligo(dT)18 or gene-specific primer is used. If random hexamer is used, carry out incubation at 25ºC for 10min, followed by incubation at 42℃ for 60 min. Note: For RNA template with high GC content or secondary structures, incubate the reaction at 45℃ for 60min.d. Stop the reverse transcription by incubating the reaction at 70℃ for 10min to inactivate the RT M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase (RNase H-). Note: Heat-inactivation of reverse transcriptase is not recommended for long cDNA over 5kb, as this method may cause shearing of long cDNA fragments. In such a case, phenol-chloroform extraction or column purification can be considered.e. The reverse transcription products can be used directly for subsequent experiments such as PCR, or stored at -20℃ for future use. We recommend using 2µl reverse transcription products in a PCR reaction volume of 50µl.2. For other applications such as primer extension and probe labeling, please refer to reference related to M-MuLV reverse transcriptase (RNase H-)FAQ:1. The reverse transcription product of total RNA is invisible after electrophoresis.It is a normal phenomena, because the amount of RNA template is low, and the amount of reverse transcription products in different size is even lower. 2. No specific product can be amplified from the reverse transcription product.a. To exclude the problem of PCR reaction system or reverse transcription product, use gene-specific primers to amplify internal reference genes, such as actin and GAPDH. Reference genes can be amplified but not the target gene, indicating primers of target gene are not well designed or the expression of the target gene is too low to be detected. b. Inappropriate primer is used for reverse transcription. Random hexamer instead of Oligo(dT)18 should be used for the reverse transcription of bacterial total RNA which does not have poly(A) tails. Gene-specific primers used for reverse transcription must be well designed...
