You need to make cDNA with random hexamers or oligo dT, then amplify the gene with specific primers after that by PCR. In my experience there isnt a whole lot of difference between random hexamers or oligo dT. They seem to work equally as well for cDNA generation.
Lately, I have been using the Invitrogen SuperScript III kit with random hexamers to amplify my cDNAs. Works great.
Thanks Bishop for your information but I have tried with Random hexamers & didnt get cDNA whereas oligodT works very well. I am using Fermentas cDNA synthesis kit.
