ExpressArt® kits for mRNA amplification - The Full Range in Your hands Amplified mRNA can be obtained from any eukaryotic species or from bacteria. Input total RNA can be obtained from all sample types, including laser microdissection or FACS cell sorting. Problems with severely degraded RNAs are history. – .including RNAs from FFPE samples. - when using the ExpressArt® TRinucleotide mRNA amplification kits. .Specific amplification of bacterial mRNA is reality., when using the ExpressArt® Bacterial mRNA amplification kits.
������ ��������������������� The ExpressArt® mRNA Amplification Kits provide a highly sensitive and reproducible technology for linear mRNA amplification, as well as RNA isolation, in combination with microarray hybridisation. The ExpressArt® mRNA amplification product line covers The Full Range of input total RNA: Picograms, Nanograms or Micrograms of total RNA result in sufficient amplified RNA for microarray hybridisation (low or high µg range), provided the right ExpressArt® kit version is used Use the MICRO version for input total RNA from 0.5 to 5 µg, the NANO and NANO plus versions for input total RNA from1-700 ng, the PICO version for input total RNA from 100-1000 pg,
Further, ONLY the ExpressArt® technology allows specific amplification of bacterial mRNA and complete amplification of.severely degraded mRNAs. even .from FFPE samples.
Use the TRinucleotide and FFPE mRNA amplifications kit for 5-700 ng degraded RNA or the Bacterial mRNA amplification kit for 5-700 ng bacterial RNA. Excellent reproducibility of the amplification reactions (one, two or three amplification rounds) was demonstrated by hybridisation of amplification replicates on Affymetrix GeneChips HG-U95A and HG-U133A (Pearson values at least 0.98). Qualitative and quantitative differences in the gene expression patterns are maintained, as shown in comparisons of sample pairs labelled with the standard Affymetrix protocol versus RNA samples after two amplification rounds with the ExpressArt® kit.
In addition, real-time quantitative RT-PCR experiments with mRNAs of various abundances (high, medium and low) demonstrate that amplification efficiency of the ExpressArt® mRNA Amplification Kit is approximately 1,000-fold per amplification round (�CT = 10) and is constant for genes with highly different abundances and mRNA lengths.

Methodology Now, highly reproducible array hybridisations can be performed with a few cells, e.g. 4-cell embryos of C.elegans (Baugh 2004; Yanai, Baugh 2008).
Historically, linear, isothermal amplification strategy based on in vitro transcription with T7 RNA-polymerase was developed by Eberwine and coworkers (Van Gelder et al. 1990; Eberwine et al. 1992). In this procedure, mRNA was converted into double stranded cDNA, using a T7-promoter/oligo(dT) primer for first strand cDNA-synthesis and limited RNase H digestion for self-priming during second strand synthesis. For amplification, these dsDNA-molecules were used as templates for in vitro transcription. Resulting in linear amplification maintaining the expression patterns of the original mRNAs (Poirier et al. 1997; Puskas et al. 2002). A number of problems were observed with this approach: (i) amplified RNA (aRNA) is 3´-biased since transcription and cDNA-synthesis with the T7-promoter/oligo(dT) primer start at the poly(A)-tail of the original mRNA. (ii) a second amplification round is based on random priming, causing reduction of fragment length, which becomes more pronounced with ever decreasing amounts of input RNA. (iii) combination of the repetitive oligo(dT) with the T7-promotor in a primer for the promiscuous reverse transcription reaction results in high-molecular weight artefacts, which become increasingly dominant if less template is used (Baugh et al. 2001). (iv) only high quality RNA samples can be used. Eberwine technology with AmpTec ExpressArt Technology one and two amplification with two and three amplification rounds rounds Courtesy: Baugh, Hunter at Harvard University Now and for the future, the ExpressArt® mRNA Amplification Kits provide a technology, which solves these problems. With the ExpressArt® Standard kits, the mRNA is converted to cDNA with an anchored oligo(dT)-primer (but without T7-promoter). For the TRinucleotide and FFPE kits, a TRinucleotide primer is used instead. The proprietory "TRinucleotide Primer" (Box-random-3’-trinucleotide primer), results in preferential priming near the 3'-ends of all nucleic acid molecules. This is illustrated in a model experiment, using one defined, 800 nucleotides long mRNA transcript as input RNA. Only the use of TRinucleotide primers results in full-length amplified RNA, replacement of the trinucleotide by random sequence results in an array of shorter products.

Efficient primer elongation requires only the matching trinucleotide sequence in the template nucleic acid. This is only a minimal restriction, and the use of several primers with different trinucleotide sequences results in essentially sequence-independent universal priming. However, this minimal, but distinct sequence requirement results in efficient selection against rRNA amplification. Due to the tight secondary structures of rRNAs (and rRNA fragments!), only minimal sequence stretches are exposed, thus rarely providing the required trinucleotide sequence that is needed for TR priming. To further minimise 3´-bias in the next step, double stranded cDNA is again generated with a TRinucleotide primer and this results in the generation of almost full-length double stranded cDNAs. After denaturation, the second cDNA strand is primed in reverse orientation, using a T7-promoter/ oligo(dT) primer. This leads to double stranded cDNA with a functional T7-promotor at one end and the Box sequence tag at the other end. This dsDNA product is used as template for in vitro transcription, generating amplified, antisense oriented RNA with defined sequences at both ends. This is a major advantage for second and especially for third round amplifications, where size reductions of amplified RNAs are avoided. This is crucial and enables the comparison of samples that contain very divergent amounts of input RNA. Now, highly reproducible array hybridisations can be performed with a few cells, e.g. individual 4-cell embryos of C.elegans (Baugh 2004; Yanai, Baugh 2008).

ExpressArt® mRNA amplification technology for intact RNA: How does it work? Briefly, ExpressArt� technology for Standard kits is based on the following steps: Conversion of mRNA to cDNA is achieved with an anchored oligo(dT) primer in the first reverse transcription reaction. No promoter sequence is present in the primary cDNAs. Then, all RNAs (including mRNAs and rRNAs) are digested with a mixture of heat-labile RNases. Single stranded cDNAs are converted to double stranded DNAs with a special primer construct, the TRinucleotide primer (BOX-random-3’-trinucleotide). This 30-mer primer contains a unique 21-mer BOX, followed by six random nucleotides, and a trinucleotide sequence at the 3'-end. We use a mix of several primers with different 3'-terminal trinucleotides. The trinucleotides determine potential primer elongation sites, that are discontinuously distributed over annealed templates. Consequently, preferential priming near the 3'-end of the template occurs. To minimise primer-derived artefacts, the T7-promotor sequence is introduced only in the 2nd synthesis of dsDNA. This double stranded cDNA is the template for the first amplification by in vitro transcription. All amplified RNAs contain the same 3'-terminal 21-mer BOX sequence. For second and third amplification rounds, full-length cDNAs are obtained using this 21-mer BOX sequence as primer. RNA removal (with heat-labile RNases) is followed by second strand cDNA synthesis, introducing a T7-promotor sequence in double stranded cDNA templates for second (or third) amplification by in vitro transcription.

Key Advantages of this New mRNA Amplification Technology 1. Special kits for specific amplification of bacterial mRNA
2. Special kits for amplification of severely degraded RNA including RNA from FFPE samples selective mRNA amplification and full sequence recovery
3. No primer derived artefacts cDNA synthesis is uncoupled from insertion of T7-promotor With other systems, the frequently observed large amounts of template-independent high molecular weight amplification artefacts are a severe limitation in the amplification of very low amounts of input RNA. With ExpressArt®, the “no-template-control“ is free of any amplified background, even after two and three rounds of amplification. This enables the amplification of sub-nanogram amounts of input total RNA, as demonstrated by the amplification of RNA from 4-cell embryos of C. elegans (Baugh, Ph.D. thesis, Harvard University, 2004; Yanai, Baugh 2008).
4. Amplified RNAs contain defined sequences at both ends
In addition to the 5'-proximal oligo(U) stretch, all amplified RNAs contain a unique 3'-terminal Box sequence.
5. No continuous shortening with loss of mRNA sequences dsDNA with "TRinucleotide primer" (Box-random-3’-trinucleotide primer) not with random primers
Three amplification rounds as faithful as two. Full comparability is obtained.
6. Optional second or third amplification round guarantees: Absolutely unique flexibility Flexible transition between one, two or three rounds, between laser microdissection, cryosections, biopsies etc. No need for careful control of input RNA amounts. Small and large amounts can be directly compared, regardless if they require one, or two, or three amplification rounds. Rescue of drop-outs in series with one or two amplification rounds. An additional second or third round can be performed, but required only for those samples with insufficient yields in the previous round. 2-rounds (100ng) vs. 2-rounds (10ng) 2-rounds (100ng) vs 3-rounds (5ng) Competitors claim it,

r=0.987
Good concordance of microarray data with one and two amplification rounds r=0.963
1-round (2µg) vs. 2-rounds (10ng)
7. Archival templates (AT versions of all kits available) Simple and easy multiple recovery of amplified RNAs, for re-evaluation of old samples in new projects, e.g. with changed microarray designs. Template (transcription reaction in solution) Archival Template (fresh; solid phase) vs Archival Template (solid phase transcription) vs. Archival Template (stored; solid phase )
