U87 MG

Human

U-87 MG is a cell line with epithelial morphology that was isolated from malignant gliomas from a male patient, likely with Glioblastoma. Use these cells in your neuroscience and immuno-oncology research.

U87 MG-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.
