Method to detect splice variants of the calcineurin gene

摘要

A method for detecting isoforms and/or splice variants of Calcineurin or its subunits is established. The inventive method is especially useful for differentiation between the various isoforms of Calcineurin. Herein a polymerase chain reaction of nucleic acids of mammalian tissue is performed and the corresponding products are evaluated. Especially prefered is a reverse transcribed polymerase chain reaction. For the polymerase chain reaction primers for the isoforms and/or splice variants of Calcineurin are used. In a prefered embodiment isoforms and/or splice variants of the catalytic subunit Calcineurin-A are detected.
