abstractText | The use of multiprobe RPAs is becoming an increasingly popular method for the detection and quantitation of RNA levels in cells and tissues. Here we report that due to a polymorphism in the 3'-noncoding region of the mouse Crg-2/IP-10 gene, the mCK-5 chemokine probe set available from Pharmingen can yield aberrant signal patterns with RNA samples from BALB/c, MRL and possibly other mouse strains that may lead to false conclusions regarding expression of the Crg-2/IP-10 and MCP-1 genes. |
