RNA 酶污染是全体从事 RNA 相关实验的人员的头号公敌。即使是100度高温或者是高压灭菌也不能完全灭活无孔不入的 RNases 。因而相关的实验中往往要用到RNA 酶抑制剂。最常用的 RNA 酶抑制剂 Human Placental ribonuclease inhibitor ( HPRI )是一种蛋白质,可与多种 RNA 酶(包括 RNases A B C 类)非共价结合成为等摩尔复合物, ...
小分子干扰RNA (Small interfering RNA ,siRNA ) 是一种非常有效的工具,能够在包括哺乳动物细胞在内的多个体系中抑制特定基因的表达,从而研究某个基因的功能或者是相关信息。但是这种强有力的方法的难题之一是需要设计,合成siRNA s 和验证其效果,从而找到最有效的siRNA s 。这个过程需要花费相当的时间和经费。以化学法合成基因特异的siRNA s 为例,由于设计好的 ...
大约在十年前,2006年诺贝尔生理/医学奖得主CraigMello和AndrewFire发现,他们能够将短RNA 分子插入到线虫中并沉默特定基因的表达。今天,研究人员也常常使用这种强大的RNA 干扰方法来研究哺乳动物系统中的特定基因功能。 为了进行这种基因沉默实验,研究人员通常需要依赖化学合成的RNA 分子,而这个合成过程是相当昂贵的。本月《冷泉港实验手册》(ColdSpringHarborPro ...
Here is our T7 siRNA protocol. The main idea is to design primers that begin with GG so that transcription by T7 polymerase is efficient. I) FIRST design oligos: Using sense coding sequence of any gen ...
Helvetica sans-serif" size="-1"Our current strategy with siRNA is to synthesis relatively small amounts enzymatically and use these to test for efficiency by western blotting. This allows us to test ...
We routinely produce dsRNA by in vitro transcription of a PCR generated DNA template containing the T7 promoter sequence on both ends (I. Primer Designed dsRNA). It is also possible to produce dsRNA u ...
