===RNA Extraction===
#Use RNEasy kit with Qiashredder.  see [[Harvesting RNA from Cells grown in monolayer]].  For a 12 well plate, use 350 uL of RLT (add 10 uL B-ME per 1 mL of RLT buffer).

===RT-PCR Reaction===
===RT-PCR Reaction===
#Use 8 uL of RNA per RT reaction.
#Book PCR Machine for 2h
#Use Superscript RT-PCR kit from Invitrogen, following manufacturers instructions
#Thaw, mix and quickly spin RNA, dNTP mix, random hexamers, 10X RT buffer, 25 mM MgCl2 water.  All reagents are in the small red invitrogen box
#Store cDNA at -20 until use
#Combine the following in a PCR tube:
#Typically dilute 5X in water (adjust for higher or lower expressing transcripts)
##8 uL RNA
##1 uL dNTP mix
##1 uL Random Hexamers
#Put in PCR machine and run program '''RT 65C''' (takes 5 min)
#In a separate tube add in the following order (for 10 reactions):
##20 uL 10X RT buffer
##40 uL 25 mM MgCl2
##20 uL 0.1M DTT
##10 uL RNAse Out
#Add 9 uL of the reaction mix to each primer/RNA mixture from previous step, mix and quickly centrifuge
#Sit on the bench for 2 min
#Add 1 uL SuperScript II RT to each tube
#Put in PCR machine and run program '''RT Reaction'''.  After run (75 min) place on ice.
#Add 1 uL RNase H and put in PCR machine and run program '''RT 37'''.  Takes 20 min.
#Store cDNA at -20 until use.
