Notes: The initial work was performed with a single-tube RT-PCR system from a company in which both the reverse transcriptase and polymerase were mixed together and thus could not be separated. Consequently, the authors could not produce the important no-reverse transcriptase control. To do such a control, the authors used the Access RT-PCR System, which allows such control, since both the Tfl DNA Polymerase and AMV Reverse Transcriptase are added separately to the reaction. (0925)
