Target Cell Background
SK-MES-1 is a human lung cancer cell line that displays epithelial morphology and grows as monolayers in tissue culture. These cells exhibit a cytokeratin expression pattern typical of simple epithelia (i.e., CK7, CK8, CK18, and CK19), and similar to that found in adenocarcinomas.

In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (Cap Analysis)
Assay Description
Cap analysis gene expression involves the sequencing of PCR-amplified cDNA tags obtained from the 5' end of mRNA. For the identification of starting sites of transcription, the cap analysis gene expression tech nique has become a useful platform.
Assay Type
Gene and Protein Expression Assays
Assay Type Details
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.
