| Glossary Term | RNAse Protection |
| Definition | A method of detecting the presence of a specific RNA in a sample. A radioactively-labeled RNA probe is prepared by transcribing the antisense strand of a DNA construct. The labeled probe is hybridized to the sample. The sample is then treated with RNAse, which is specific to single-stranded RNA. The sample is then subjected to electrophoresis and autoradiography. The presence of full-length probe that has not been cleaved by RNAse indicates the presence of the sense strand, and hence gene expression, in the sample. |
