Abstract
Summary: A fast and quantitative method was developed to detect transgenic 'Maximizer' maize 'event 176' (Novartis) and 'Roundup Ready' soybean (Monsanto) in food by real-time quantitative PCR. The use of the ABI Prism 7700 sequence detection system allowed the determination of the amplified product accumulation through a fluorogenic probe (TaqMan). Fluorescent dyes were chosen in such a way as to coamplify total and transgenic DNA in the same tube. Using real-time quantitative PCR, 2 pg of transgenic or total DNA per gram of starting sample was detected in 3 h after DNA extraction and the relative amounts of 'Maximizer' maize and 'Roundup Ready' soybean in some representative food products were quantified
