Abstract: In order to analyze the MHC gene expression profiles in Clarias gariepinus by using real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR)technique, primer pairs for amplifying the MHC gene fragments of C. gariepinus were designed using Primer 5.0 software and then assessed by means of general PCR and qPCR amplification, respectively. The results of qPCR evaluation showed that melt curve of the primer pair named MHCF1-MHCR3 presented a single sharp peak, and standard curve displayed that its amplification efficiency was 99.3% and R2 value was 0.998. The results indicated that the primer pair had good specificity and efficiency of amplification as well as met the criteria of qPCR amplification. This work laid a foundation for analyzing MHC gene expression of C. gariepinus by using qPCR technique.

Key words: Clarias gariepinus, major histocompatibility complex, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, melt peak, amplification efficiency
