How long can I store the cDNA from my reverse transcription step?
You can store your cDNA at 2-6 degrees C for up to 24 hours. For long-term storage, store the cDNA at -15 to -25 degrees C and add EDTA to a final concentration of 1 mM to prevent degradation.
Can I order the RNase Inhibitor from the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit separately?
Yes. You can order the RNase Inhibitor separately as Cat. No. N8080119.
Which kit should I use for the reverse transcription step for TaqMan Pri-miRNA assays (Cat. No. 4427012)?

4-(3-pentylamino)-2,7-dimethyl-8-(2-methyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-pyri midine (DMP 904) is a potent and selective antagonist of corticotropin releasing factor receptor-1 (CRF1 receptor) with an efficacious anxiolytic profile in preclinical animal models. In subchronic toxicity studies in Sprague-Dawley rats, DMP 904 produced thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia, and a low incidence of follicular cell ... More
Disordered macrophage cytokine secretion underlies impaired acute inflammation and bacterial clearance in Crohn's disease.

The cause of Crohn's disease (CD) remains poorly understood. Counterintuitively, these patients possess an impaired acute inflammatory response, which could result in delayed clearance of bacteria penetrating the lining of the bowel and predispose to granuloma formation and chronicity. We tested this hypothesis in human subjects by monitoring responses to ... More
Somatic cell plasticity and Niemann-Pick type C2 protein: fibroblast activation.
Authors:Csepeggi C, Jiang M, Kojima F, Crofford LJ, Frolov A
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:21084287
A growing body of evidence points toward activated fibroblasts, also known as myofibroblasts, as one of the leading mediators in several major human pathologies including proliferative fibrotic disorders, invasive tumor growth, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis. Niemann-Pick Type C2 (NPC2) protein has been recently identified as a product of the second ... More
TGF-beta regulates miR-206 and miR-29 to control myogenic differentiation through regulation of HDAC4.
Authors:Winbanks CE, Wang B, Beyer C, Koh P, White L, Kantharidis P, Gregorevic P
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:21324893
MicroRNAs (miRs) are emerging as prominent players in the regulation of many biological processes, including myogenic commitment and skeletal muscle formation. Members of the TGF-beta family can influence the proliferation and myogenic differentiation of cells, although it is presently not clear what role miRNAs play in the TGF-beta-mediated control of ...
