Hybridization material was generated through a random-priming amplification procedure (RP-AMP) using primers with a random sequence at the 3' end and a fixed motif at the 5' end. shDNP256 (first strand synthesis): 5'- TAG ATG CTG TTG NNN NNN NNN -3' shT7N9 (second strand synthesis): 5'- ACT ATA GGG AGA NNN NNN NNN -3' 1.5 g of mRNA was reverse-transcribed with Superscript II and the DP256 random primer for 20 minutes at 42 C (10 mM DTT, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 8 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM dNTPs, 5 U/ l Superscript II). The RNA was degraded with the addition of 20 l volume of 0.5N sodium hydroxide and 0.25 M EDTA for 20 minutes at 65 C. The single stranded cDNA was purified using a commercial kit (Qiagen Qiaquick).
