Functional RNA quality assessment by fragment size PCR Endpoint assay and qRT-PCR technique. Six amplicons of different length (73, 156, 257, 347, 400 and 436 bp) of the HPRT1 gene were amplified using cDNA purified from RNL, SF, SF-OCT and FFPE lung tissue samples (n = 20). (a) Images of electrophoresis gels showing the PCR products for the six amplicons tested for patient 17 in all preservation methods compared: RNL (top of the left), SF (top of the right), SF-OCT (bottom of the left) and FFPE (bottom of the right). Full-length gels are presented in Fig. S1. (b) Cq mean values and standard deviation (SD) obtained by each amplicon in each preservation methods tested (n = 20). SDs are represented as error bars. For RNL, SF and SF-OCT, SD was too small to be consistently represented in the graph.
