What's the optimal housekeeping gene for gene expression studies on VERO E6 cells?

16 July 2020 0 7K Report

I need to perform qRT PCRs on cDNA obtained from VERO E6 cell lines (derived from African Green monkey) and I need to choose ne (or more) housekeeping gene. I usually use B-actin and GAPDH for human samples... any advise? Thank you!!
