Hello there,

I'm currently trying to over-express a gene by transfecting the cells with a pcDNA6 plasmid containing my target gene.

When I measure the mRNA for my gene of interest, the levels are equal to those in the non-transfected cells.

Is it possible that the "excess" mRNA was degraded faster but that I could still observe an increase in protein levels?

Many thanks!
