Sensitivity of miRNA Target Sites
Purpose
We want to understand the sensitivity of our miRNA target site constructs.
Results
When increasing siRNA-451a 0 to 1 nM, there is a 10 fold repression of red fluorescence. Saturation occurs at approximately 10 nM. More experiments would need to be done to understand the responsiveness between 0 to 1 nM.
