Digital Droplet PCR for the Absolute Quantification of Exon Skipping Induced by Antisense Oligonucleotides in (Pre-)Clinical Development for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Fig 5
Comparison different PCR methods and impact on quantification.
Graphic representation of the quantification of dystrophin cDNA construct templates lacking or containing exon 51 mixed in different ratios ranging from 0% to 100% using nested PCR (40, 50 and 60 cycles), qPCR (LinRegPCR and Pfaffl methods) and ddPCR. The dashed red line indicates the theoretical template ratios. The solid black ddPCR line is almost indistinguishable from the theoretical line and both lines are superimposed. Data is based on one experiment using 2 replicates for ddPCR and 3 replicates for qPCR.
