Methods for recovery of DNA from mRNA in ribosome display complexes

摘要

The invention provides a method for recovery of cDNA from mRNA, comprising reverse transcription (RT) of mRNA using a RT primer which includes a sequence based on the 5' consensus region of the mRNA which is identical or similar to 5' consensus region of the mRNA and which includes a sequence capable of specifically hybridising to the 3' region of the mRNA, followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a single primer to generate ss cDNA, ds cDNA and amplify the cDNA. Primers for use in methods of the invention and kits for performing methods of the invention are also provided. The methods of the invention can partially or fully automated.
