摘要
Over the last years, RNA interference (RNAi) has become a widely used technique that permits the knock-down, and hence functional analysis, of individual genes in vertebrate cells. However, the high failure rate of the RNA molecules used in RNAi experiments continues to be a problem. In this paper, I describe a set of design criteria, experimental steps and expression vectors that can facilitate the effective knockdown of almost any vertebrate gene product in cultured cells or in experimental animals.
