Figure 1From: Method to isolate polyribosomal mRNA from scarce samples such as mammalian oocytes and early embryosEffect of cross-linking on recovery of RNA extracted from Drosophila SL2 cells. A) Total RNA recoverable from cell extracts (the clarified supernatant) after cross-linking with various concentrations of formaldehyde; Micro-electrophoretic profile of the total RNA recovered from B) untreated cell extract; C) cell extract treated with 3.37% formaldehyde.Back to article page
