I want to amplify a region of a specific pre mRNA, but the standard method is not working.
I know there's a method to do that with RNase H. this enzyme cleaves at sites of double-strand RNA-DNA hybrid.
so you prepare an oligo that will anneal to the site where you want to cleave.
this paper has a protocol: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/36/21/6728.long
Thanks Gal,i will try that. Is there any method which do not require binding of oligo, as i think that the pre-mRNA is having lots of secondary structures and is not accessible to the primers what i am using for cDNA synthesis and amplification ?
Are you denaturating RNA template before cDNA synthesis?
I do 10min 70celsius with Oligo's before synthesis.
Yes, i am using this step which is recommended by Sigma HSRT kit also. But i am not sure if this step is able to denature the 10 kb long fragnment ?
Tarun - If you just want non-specific fragments, then maybe sonication can work?
I know sonication is used to break genomic DNA to small fragments. However, I do not know how sonication affects RNA.
ok..thanks Gal
mRNA are easy to denature but denaturation of pre-mRNA requires additional steps. I have tried heating at 70C and 80C for 10 minutes prior to cDNA synthesis, but it hasn't worked yet, can...

I have tried isolating leukocytes from whole blood by Histopaque (sigma), but when I checked it in microscope, I found lots of platelets along with leukocytes, I tried washing, but it din't help much.
