Probe-Independent and Direct Quantification of Insulin mRNA and Growth Hormone mRNA in Enriched Cell Preparations

Abstract excerpt

Task division in multicellular organisms ensures that differentiated cell types produce cell-specific proteins that fulfill tasks for the whole organism. In some cases, the encoded mRNA species is so abundant that it represents a sizeable fraction of total mRNA in the cell. In this study, we have used a probe- and primer-free technique to quantify such abundant mRNA species in order to assess regulatory effects...
