Figure 3. Fluorescently Labeled dsRNA Retains Functionality. (A) Silencing experiments and Western blot analyses were performed as described in Figure 2 three days after treatment with 10 nM of the indicated labeled or unlabeled dsRNA. (B) dsRNA specific for U2AF50 was labeled with Cy3 using the Silencer siRNA Labeling Kit, introduced into Drosophila L2 cells, and the cells were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. BLUE: DAPI stained nuclei. RED: Cy3 labeled U2AF50 dsRNA.
The Silencer Cy3 and FAM siRNA
Labeling Kits can be used to label siRNA and long dsRNA, and are the
perfect complement to the MEGAscript RNAi Kit. Labeled
dsRNA can be used to analyze subcellular localization, stability,
and uptake. In addition, fluorescently labeled dsRNA is particularly
well-suited for double label experiments (with a labeled antibody)
to track cells that take up dsRNA and to correlate uptake with
down-regulation of the target protein. Although the Silencer
