Extraction of Total RNA from Tissues and Cultured Cells

The rsolatron of intact, high quality, total cellular RNA is often the starting point for many molecular biologrcal procedures (Fig. 1) There are numerous general methods for the rsolation of total cellular RNA (1–9). There are also many specialrzed methods for the rsolatron of RNA from specific tissues (8–10), various cell types (11), and subcellular organelles (7,12,13) In addmon, a number of methods describe the srmultaneous rsolatton of RNA …
