Direct Amplification and Cloning of Up to 5-kb Lentivirus Genomes from Serum by Lennart Holterman, James I. Mullins, Joost J. Haaijman, Jonathan L. Heeney

“…In contrast to classic RT assays, in which an excess of primer is annealed to denatured RNA just prior to and during reverse transcription at relative low temperatures (37°–42°C), this method eliminates false priming. To optimize the yield and fidelity of full-length cDNA molecules, two PCR amplifications are first performed using both Taq and Pfu polymerase, followed by Pfu alone in the second amplification.…”
