Preparation of soluble extracts from adenovirus-infected cells for studies of RNA splicing

Methods Mol Med. 2007:131:33-46. doi: 10.1007/978-1-59745-277-9_3.

Abstract

Here we describe a collection of methods that have been adapted to produce highly efficient nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts from adenovirus-infected HeLa cells. We describe how to produce extracts from virus-infected cells and how to analyze RNA splicing in vitro using T7 RNA polymerase-derived splicing substrate RNAs.
