Hello everyone,
I am analysing the expression of several genes coming from BV2 cells that I cultured some months ago. I am having trouble finding expression of some genes, and now I am doubting that the orginal cells were healthy and that may have altered gene expression. From the PCRs I have ran so far I have obtained good expression of 18s gene and RPL13 (housekeeping genes) but found no expression of RPL37. I attach here picures at 20x and 40x of control wells from my experiment. Please, if you have any comment/information/suggestion on how to check if the cells were healthy or how to find the transcriptome of BV2 cells, it woulf be of much help.
