Abstract
Short interfering RNAs (siRNA) are a type of double-stranded RNA molecule, typically 20-25 bp long, that are involved in the phenomenon of RNA interference. siRNA transfection is employed in this protocol to knockdown target gene expression in BMM’phi’ cells. Two days after transfection with cells at 60-80% confluence, the knockdown efficiency can reach 90%.
