Snippet: During PCR amplification, the amount of DNA is doubled in each cycle until the components in the reaction reaches a critical level. There is an exponential relationship between the initial amount of template DNA and the cycle threshold (CT) values. A high CT value represents a low microbial load in the specimen. Samples that differ by a factor of two in the original DNA concentration would be expected to be one cycle apart in the run, whereas sam.....
Document: During PCR amplification, the amount of DNA is doubled in each cycle until the components in the reaction reaches a critical level. There is an exponential relationship between the initial amount of template DNA and the cycle threshold (CT) values. A high CT value represents a low microbial load in the specimen. Samples that differ by a factor of two in the original DNA concentration would be expected to be one cycle apart in the run, whereas samples that differ by a factor of ten would be approximately 3.3 cycles apart. The differences in CT values obtained from the same experimental run demonstrate a relative difference in the concentration between samples, and is used for calculating differences in viral load. The amplification efficiency for all of the PCR assays used in this study was measured to be above 94%.
