The Xenopus oocyte is a widely used system for protein expression. Investigators have had the choice between two different techniques: injection into the cytoplasm of in vitro transcribed complementary RNA (cRNA) or injection into the nucleus of complementary DNA (cDNA). We report on a third expression technique that is based on the combined injection of cDNA and purified T7 RNA polymerase directly into the cytoplasm of oocytes.
非洲爪蟾卵母细胞是一种广泛用于蛋白质表达的系统。研究人员可以在两种不同技术之间进行选择:将体外转录的互补RNA(cRNA)注射到细胞质中,或将互补DNA(cDNA)注射到细胞核中。我们报告了第三种表达技术,该技术基于将cDNA和纯化的T7 RNA聚合酶直接联合注射到卵母细胞的细胞质中。
