Development of a system to sensitively and specifically visualize c-fosmRNA in living cells using bispyrene-modified RNA probes†
Abstract
In situ visualization of c-fosmRNA was shown both in fixed cells and in living cells using bispyrene-modified 2′-O-methyl RNA probes (OMUpy2) or phosphorothioate modified OMUpy2 (OMUpy2-S), which was RNA-specific with high sensitivity, and a system for time-lapse imaging of c-fosmRNA was successfully developed.
