Universal Human Reference RNA (Invitrogen™)

Universal Human Reference RNA is an RNA extract used as a positive control in QuantiGene assays. The Universal Human Reference RNA is composed of total RNA from 10 human cell lines:
• Adenocarcinoma, mammary gland
• Melanoma
• Hepatoblastoma, liver
• Liposarcoma
• Adenocarcinoma, cervix
• Histiocytic lymphoma; macrophage; histocyte
• Embryonal carcinoma, testis

• Glioblastoma, brain
• Plasmacytoma; myeloma; B lymphocyte

Equal quantities of DNase-treated total RNA from each cell line were pooled to make the universal control.
