Publication protocol

MethyLight quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR): The qPCR reactions were performed in 96-well plates on a 7500 Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), using the EpiTect® MethyLight PCR + ROX Vial kit (Qiagen GmbH; cat. no. 59496) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The reactions were performed in a volume of 20 µl that included: 2X EpiTect MethyLight Master mix (without ROX) 10 µl containing (HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase, EpiTect Probe PCR buffer, deoxyadenosine triphosphate, deoxycytidine triphosphate, deoxyguanosine triphosphate and thymidine triphosphate of ultrapure quality); 2 µl 10X primer-probe mix containing 200 nM probe and 400 nM forward and reverse primers; 0.4 µl 50X ROX Dye Solution (passive reference dye for normalization of fluorescent signals); 2 µl (20 ng) bisulfite-treated DNA template; and 5.6 µl RNase-free water. Cycle conditions were as follows: Initial PCR activation step at 95°C for 5 min, 50 cycles at 95°C for 15 sec (denaturation step) and 60°C for 1 min (combined annealing/extension step with fluorescence data collection). Each plate included standard curves for the SPG20 and ALU-C4 sequence, DNA samples, a methylated human bisulfite-converted DNA (EpiTect PCR Control DNA; cat. no. 59655; Qiagen GmbH) as a positive control, unmethylated human bisulfite-converted DNA (EpiTect PCR Control DNA; cat. no. 59665; Qiagen GmbH) as a negative control, unconverted human genomic DNA from healthy human blood samples, which was not amplified, and a no template control, including the entire ingredients of the reaction except the template DNA. The standard curve was plotted using the Cq value (13,14,18,19,34,37) of the methylated human bisulfite-converted DNA at various concentrations vs. the log value of input DNA concentration. An acceptable MethyLight PCR result was obtained, and is demonstrated by the PCR efficiency (96–102%), correct slope value (−3.65 - −3.2) and R2=0.9985. In addition, to establish the standard curve, commercial methylated human bisulfite-converted DNA (EpiTect PCR Control DNA; cat. no. 59655; Qiagen GmbH) was used as a fully methylated control to calculate the percentage of methylated reference (PMR) of the samples. PMR is the degree of methylation of each sample relative to the fully methylated control.

How “strong” is the PCR product of methylation specific PCR?

Does anyone know how “strong” the PCR product of methylation specific PCR is? I kept my PCR products at 4C for about 3 weeks and then at room temperature for another week. Will I be able to use them for sequencing?
