Isolate nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA and protein from cultured cells
No phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation
Ambion's new PARIS Kit uses a fast, simple procedure based on Ambion's RNAqueous technology to isolate both RNA and native protein from the same experimental sample. The kit also permits separation of nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions prior to RNA and/or protein isolation. The resulting protein and RNA samples are suitable for various downstream applications, reducing time, cost, and variability between independent experimental samples.
Protein And RNA Isolation System (PARIS)
Isolation of high quality RNA is the first step for a variety of gene
expression analyses. Very often complementary studies at the protein level
are also required, e.g. performing further in vitro functional assays,
analyzing a regulatory pathway, or simply correlating RNA and protein
expression levels. Usually these analyses are performed using different
aliquots of the same experimental sample. However, when working with rare,
difficult to obtain, or very small samples it is sometimes impractical
to isolate RNA and native proteins independently. In studies involving
large numbers of samples, expensive reagents, or inherent variability
(e.g. cell transfection), the addition of independent experimental samples
is not only costly and time consuming, but may also lead to inconsistent
results. To solve these issues Ambion scientists have developed a unique
Protein And RNA Isolation System (PARIS) that allows researchers to isolate
both RNA and protein from t
