Hi there, 

I'm treating MCF7 for an hour with LPS (1ug/ml) in order to enhance the mRNA levels of IL-6 . I measure the expression via Real Time PCR. The treatment seems to affect GAPDH levels (there are differences between treated and untreated cells). I also tried other commonly used housekeeping genes, such as actin or ywhaz, but I still have issues...Apart from that, the Ct calculated for IL-6 in the treated cells is high - close to 28 or 29 cycles. Any ideas?
