Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have gained much attention for their powerful ability to suppress gene expression. Introduction of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), that are homologues in sequence to a gene, has proven to suppress that gene's expression through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi); this process post-transcriptionally silences a gene through mRNA inhibition or degradation. Both biochemical and genetic studies have led to the identification of two, conserved gene families that are universal components of the interference process. These are the Dicer family, which is comprised of members of the Ribonuclease III family of enzymes, and the Argonaute gene family. Argonaute proteins addition to their role in RNAi process, may also influence development, such as, stem cell fate determination.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
