Absence of recombination between minigene and PTM at the DNA level. RNA isolated from cells co-transfected with TauEx9-11DDPAC and TauPTM6 or TauPTM9 was analyzed by PCR with (+RT) or without (−RT) prior reverse transcription. No cis- or trans-splicing (A and B) products were detected without RT. (A) Trans-splicing products only are amplified using the VctF-FLAGR primer combination; no larger size species were detected with or without RT. (B) In contrast, in addition to cis- and trans-splicing products, minigene DNA was readily amplified from the traces of DNA present in the RNA preparation using the VctF–11R primer combination.
