Can someone tell me if 18S rRNA can be used as the reference gene for qRT-PCR analysis if cDNA has been constructed using oligo dT primers? I hear different opinions from people who have and haven't used it. Thanks.
It means that we cannot use 18S rRNa as a reference gene if cDNA has been constructed using oligo dT primer. We can obtain cDNA from 18S rRNA if we have a random hexamer primer.
