Protocol for mRNA amplification--RT-PCR实验过程
Isolate Total RNA using Qiagen midi kit (Cat#75142) ( see manufacturer's protocol) or by Trizol (Gibco BRL Cat# 15596-026) extraction (see manufacturer's protocol) or by PaxGene extraction (Pax tubes Cat# 762115, Pax Blood Extraction kit Cat# 762134) ( see manufacturer's protocol). Resuspend total RNA in DEPC water at 1ug/ul concentration.
Speedvac RNA down to a total of 3-4ug in 9uL DEPC H20. Prepare RNA in PCR tubes and store at �80C overnight.
