High-yield RNA-extraction method for saliva.
BACKGROUND The use of salivary diagnostics is increasing because of its noninvasiveness, ease of sampling, and the relatively low risk of contracting infectious organisms. Saliva has been used as a biological fluid to identify and validate RNA targets in head and neck cancer patients. The goal of this study was to develop a robust, easy, and cost-effective method for isolating high yields of to...
متن کاملSmall interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--
Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of RNA Polymerase from
We have purified and characterized a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase from the blue-green alga Fremyela dipsiphon. This enzyme, purified by gel filtration, DEAE-ceflulose chromatography, and glycerol gradient centrifugation, is comprised of five polypeptide subunits. Their masses are 161,000, 134,000, 91,000, 72,000, and 41,000 daltons. Preparative electrophoresis of the purified enzyme on nondenat...
متن کاملCharacterization of RNA in saliva.
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that human mRNAs are present in saliva and can be used as biomarkers of oral cancer. In this study, we analyzed the integrity, sources, and stability of salivary RNA. METHODS We measured the integrity of salivary RNA with reverse transcription followed by PCR (RT-PCR) or RT-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). To study RNA entry sites into the oral cavity, we used R...
متن کاملPractical applications of cytogenetic biodosimetry in radiological emergencies
The Fukushima nuclear disaster caused by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 is believed to be the worst nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The Korean government is providing support to Japan and is also trying to protect the people from the hazards of ionizing radiation. To this end, Korean rescuers have been dispatched to the disaster-struck areas to assist in the...
