The LightCycler™-Primer Set “Dex-I” isspecific for the sequence of human Dex-I. The primers were selected in the first exon of
the gene based on their sensitivity, since dueto the presence of a pseudogene onchromosome 16, genomic DNA will bedetected also with intron overspanningprimers. However, no genomic signal will begenerated if RNA or mRNA is generated asdirected (DNAse treatment). If the samplequality is poor or unknown a no-RT controlreaction is strongly recommended.
