Abstract: |
To introduce the process of initiating RNA interference mediated by siRNA expression cassettes in primary cell. RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly specific form of posttranscriptional gene silencing mediated by double-stranded RNA. RNAi has rapidly become one of the most powerful functional genomics tools recently and has the potential to be used therapeutically. The degree of success in silencing a specific target RNA in primary cultured mammalian cells is often dependent on siRNA or plasmid transfection efficiency. This article describes how to design and synthesize siRNA expression cassettes and, additionally, find the optimal target site for RNAi-mediated gene silencing. |
