Rinse the gel with DEPC-treated waterb. Soak the gel for 20 minutes in 5 gel volumes of 0.05 N NaOHc. Transfer the gel into 10 gel volumes of 20X SSC for 40 minutesd.

Without delay, proceed directly with Step 2 to transfer the partially hydrolyzed RNA to a positively charged nylon membrane by capillary action2. Move the gel containing fractionated RNA to a glass baking dish, and use a sharp scalpel to trim away unused areas of the gel. Cut alonill the dish with the appropriate transfer buffer (0.01 N NaOH/3 M NaCl for positively charged membranes, and 20X SSC for uncharged membranes) until the level of the liquid reaches almost to the top of the support.When the blotting paper on the top of the support is thoroughly wet, smooth out all air bubbles with a glass rod or pipette.Preparation of the Membrane for Transfer5. Use a fresh scalpel or a paper cutter to cut a piece of the appropriate nylon membrane ~1 mm larger than the gel in both dimensions6. Float the nylon membrane on the surface of a dish of deionized water untill it wets completely from beneath, and then immerse the membrane in 10X SSC for at least 5 minutes.Use a clean scalpel blade to cut a corner from the membrane to match the corner cut from the gel.Assembly of the Transfer system and Transfer of the RNA7. Carefully place the gel on the support in an inverted position so that it is centered on the wet blotting paper8. Surround, but do not cover, the gel with Sa, Smooth out any air bubbles with a glass rod.11. Cut of fold a stack of paper towels (5-8 cm) just smaller than the blotting papers. Place the towels on the blotting papers. Put a glass plate on top of the stack and weigh it down with a 400g weight12. Allow upward transfer of RNA to occur for no more than 4 hours in neutral transfer buffer and ~1 hour in alkaline transfer buffer13. Dismantle the capillary transfer system.Mark the positions of the slots on the membrane with a ballpoint pen through the gel. Transfer the membrane to a glass tray containing ~300 ml of 6X SSC at 23℃. Place the tray on a platform shaker and agitate the membrane very slowly for 5 minutes.(To assess the efficiency of transfer of RNA, rinse the gel briefly in several changes of water and then stain it for 45 minutes in a solution of ethidium bromide.

Micro-FastTrackTM 2.0 mRNA Isolation Kit (Invitrogen)Introduction【 The Micro-FastTrack≒2.0 mRNA Isolation Kit allows isolation of polyA+ RNA directly from cells (1 x 102 - 5 x 106), tissue (10-200 mg), or total RNA (100-500 レg) in 2-3 hours using minimal equipment (a water bath, a microcentrifuge, and a syringe fit with an 18-21 gauge needle) without the need for ultracentrifugation or guanidinium lysis.【 A typical mammalian cell contains about 10-11 g of RNA of which 1-5% is polyA+ RNA. The remaining RNA is mostly rRNA (80-85% of total) and low-molecular weight RNAs such as tRNA (15-20% of total). To separate the heterogeneous population of mRNA from the majority of the RNA found in the cell, affinity binding to oligo(dT) cellulose is used. This method exploits the major characteristic of mRNA, polyadenylation, to obtain intact, pure mRNA.【 The procedure described below is designed to remove DNA and proteins from your sample and allow selective binding of mRNA under high salt conditioting mRNAMaterialsMethodグ. Preparing sample (tissue cultured cells)1. Wash the cells in +4‘C phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution .2. Transfer the cells to a 15 ml sterile, conical centrifuge tube. Centrifuge the cells and resuspend the pellet in 1 ml of PBS.3. Transfer the cells to a sterile microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge the cells and continue with Step 4, or flash freeze the pellet in liquid nitrogen and store at -70‘C.4. Resuspend the cell pellet in 1 ml of Micro-FastTrack≒ 2.0 Lysis Buffer to lyse the cells. If the pellet was frozen and does not thaw quickly, place the tube with the cells and buffer in a 45‘C water bath for 1-2 minutes. Vortex to completely resuspend the cells.5. Pass the lysate 2-4 times through a sterile plastic 1 cc syringe fitted with a 18-21 gauge needle. If the lysate is still viscous, continue to pass the solution through the syringe until it is no longer viscous (up to 10 times).ケ. Isolating mRNA1. Incubate the cell lysate produced in Preparing Samplple.2. Adjust the NaCl concentration of the lysate to 0.5 M final concentration by adding 63 レl of the 5 M NaCl stock solution to each 1 ml lysate. Mix thoroughly.3. Shear any remaining DNA by passing the lysate 3-4 times (or more as needed) through a sterile plastic 1 cc syringe fitted with an 18-21 gauge needle. This will yield a cleaner mRNA preparation.4. Remove a vial of oligo(dT) cellulose from the dessicator and add cell lysate or total RNA solution to the vial. Be sure to label the tube with the name of your sample.5. Seal the tube and allow the oligo(dT) cellulose to swell for 2 minutes.6. Rock the tube gently at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes (using a rocking platform or a rotator). For yeast RNA, increase the rocking time to at least 1 hour. Rocking or rotating increases the efficiency of mRNA binding to oligo(dT) cellulose.7. Centrifuge oligo(dT) cellulose at 4,000 x g in a microcentrifuge for 5 minutes at room temperature. Remove the supernatant carefully from the rat Step 1 until the buffer is no longer cloudy (at least 2 more times). Use 1.3 ml of Binding Buffer per wash.3. Gently resuspend the resin in 0.3 ml of Binding Buffer and transfer the sample to a spin-column (inside the spin-column/microcentrifuge tube set). Centrifuge at 4,000 x g for 10 seconds at room temperature. Repeat this process as many times as necessary to transfer all of the oligo(dT) cellulose into the spin-column.4. Remove the spin-column from the microcentrifuge tube and discard the liquid inside the tube.5. Place the spin-column back into the tube and add 500 レl of Binding Buffer. Centrifuge at 4,000 x g for 10 seconds at room temperature. Read the OD260 of the flow-through.6. Repeat Step 5 (at least 3 times) until the OD260 of the flow-through is < 0.05.7. Add 200 レl of Low Salt Wash Buffer and gently resuspend the resin with a sterile pipette tip. Be careful not to damage the membrane of the spin-column as you will lose the resin (and your sample). Centrifuge at 4,000d 100 レl of Elution Buffer and mix the buffer into the cellulose bed with a sterile pipette tip.3. Centrifuge at 4,000 x g for 10 seconds at room temperature, but DO NOT decant the liquid. The mRNA is now in the eluate.4. Add a second 100 レl aliquot of Elution Buffer to the column, mix into the cellulose, and centrifuge again for 10 seconds. Steps 2 through 4 will elute the mRNA into the microcentrifuge tube.5. Remove the column from the tube. The tube should now contain 200 レl. Do Not Discard. This is your mRNA sample.6. Precipitate the mRNA with 10 レl of 2 mg/ml glycogen carrier (supplied), 30 レl of 2 M sodium acetate (supplied), and 600 レl of 200 proof (100%) ethanol. Freeze on dry ice until solid. The mRNA may be stored as an ethanol precipitate at -80‘C until ready for use. The mRNA will remain stable for several months in this condition.7. Thaw and centrifuge in a microcentrifuge at maximum speed (16,000 x g) for 15 minutes at +4‘C.8. Remove the ethanol. Centrifuge briefly and re.20
