Duplexed QZyme RT-PCR for APL Analysis 133<br />

3.1. Calibration Curves for PML-RARα<br />

Calibration curves for quantifying either PML-RARα L-type/V-type transcripts<br />

(see Note 5), or PML-RARα S-type transcripts, are constructed using<br />

the appropriate PML-RARα plasmids (see Subheading 2.1., steps 1 and 2)<br />

diluted in a background of total RNA from Meg-01 (see Subheading 2.1., step<br />

3). The following instructions will refer to a generic “plasmid,” applicable to<br />

the plasmid suitable for the breakpoint occurring in the patient cohort being<br />

tested.<br />

Calibrator 1 is stored frozen in single-use aliquots, from which all other<br />

calibrators are made (by serial dilution as discussed later) on the day of the<br />

experiment (see Note 6). It is recommended that concentrations of total RNA<br />
