This study validates a blood collection system for isolating high-quality RNA from whole blood. This method is suitable for gene expression profiling and biomarker discovery in drug development.

Area of Science:

  • Biomarker Discovery
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • High-quality biomarkers are crucial for efficient drug discovery and development.
  • Peripheral blood is a promising source for biomarkers, but challenges exist in its direct profiling.
  • Current methods face limitations due to sample heterogeneity and ex vivo artifacts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Applied BioSystems' blood collection system for isolating RNA suitable for microarray analysis.
  • To assess the quality, stability, and suitability of RNA extracted from whole blood for biomarker discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Blood samples (human and rat) were collected in TEMPUS tubes.
  • RNA was extracted using an ABI-6100 semi-automated workstation.
  • RNA quality and suitability for Affymetrix microarrays were assessed.
