The presence of residual gold nanoparticles in samples interferes with the RT-qPCR assay used for gene expression profiling
Abstract Background RT-qPCR is routinely used in expression profiling of toxicity pathway genes. However, genetic and molecular level studies used to determine, understand and clarify potential risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are still incomplete. Concerns regarding possible interference ca...
