Abstract
The probe and primers were designed and synthesized according to the leptin sequence available in GenBank. Then a real-time RT-PCR assay was developed and assessed. Results showed that the standard curve made by pMD-18T leptin had good linear dependence, and the fluorescent quantitative RT PCR assay was sensitive (it could detect 10 copies/μL of plasmid DNA) and specific.
