C2BBe1 In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (SAGE)

This assay is to provide C2BBe1-based In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (SAGE) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

C2BBe1

Human

The C2BBe1 (brush border expressing) cell line was cloned in 1988 from the Caco-2 cell line by limiting dilution.
The clone was selected on the basis of morphological homogeneity and exclusive apical villin localization.

In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (SAGE)

C2BBe1-cell based In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (SAGE)

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is another molecular biological technique used to analyze gene expression. In this technique, mRNA extracted from the sample is reverse transcribed into cDNA and the resulting cDNA is then digested by restriction enzymes to produce tags. These tags are amplified by PCR and subjected to sequencing. Several modifications to SAGE such as Long SAGE, RL-SAGE and Super SAGE have been introduced to improve the SAGE technique.

Gene and Protein Expression Assays

Following transcription, primary transcript RNA is converted into mature RNA by post-transcriptional modifications. Post-transcriptional modification includes three major steps namely the addition of a 5'cap, addition of a 3'polyadenylation tail and RNA splicing. Stability of RNA has been considered as very important for gene expression and proteins at the post-transcriptional level.
