Stabilizing and Isolating RNA from Peripheral Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood (3 mL) from patients and HDs was drawn directly in Tempus Blood RNA Tubes (ThermoFischer Scientific, Germany) to stabilize and isolate total RNA. After overnight shipment at room temperature, samples were frozen and stored at − 80 °C. Total RNA was isolated using the MagMAX™ for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit (ThermoFischer Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, frozen samples were thaw on ice for 30 min, centrifuged at 4500 g for 10 min at 4 °C, pellets were then treated with Tempus Proteinase and TURBO DNase and finally RNA purification was performed using RNA binding beads and a magnet stand. After removing the supernatant and washing twice with the provided washing buffer, beads were left drying at room temperature and total RNA was finally eluted in 40 μL elution buffer. The protocol allowed the recovery of approximately 3-25 μg total RNA. Quality of RNA was checked by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis (SYBR Safe E-Gel 2%, ThermoFischer Scientific) and RNA yield was determined spectrophotometrically (NanoDrop, Implen, Germany).

Genome-wide Expression Profiling from Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from human whole blood collected in Tempus Blood RNA tubes (ThermoFisher) using the MagMAX™ for Stabilized Blood Tubes RNA Isolation Kit (ThermoFisher). Total RNA was subjected to globin mRNA depletion using the Ambion GLOBINclear kit (ThermoFisher). Agilent Bioanalyzer was used to evaluate total RNA integrity and the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) was calculated. All samples had RIN in the range of 4.7–8.8; however, the median value was 7. For genome-wide gene expression profiling, fluorescent-labeled PCR products were prepared according to Illumina Human Whole-Genome Gene Expression DASL Assay Guide. The labeled products were hybridized onto the Illumina HumanHT-12-v4 Expression Bead ChIP for 16 h at 58 °C. These arrays were washed, coated based on the Assay Guide, and scanned using Bead Array Scanner 500GX at BSF Microarray Facility.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
