Product overview
Global RNA Synthesis Assay Kit (Green) (ab273285) relies on the incorporation of cell permeable 5-EU (Ethynyl uridine) into nascent RNA, but not into DNA, instead of its natural uridine analog. 5-EU can be used as a replacement for BrU (5-Bromo-uridine) to measure de novo synthesized RNA in proliferating cells. Modified RNA is detected by click chemistry using an azide-containing dye that enables for multiplex analyses with other probes, or detection of RNA-interactive proteins for deeper biological insights. The kit includes Actinomycin D, an inhibitor RNA synthesis that serves as an experimental control.

Metabolic labeling of RNA on proliferating HeLa cells
Metabolic labeling of RNA on proliferating HeLa cells. 1 x 105 cells were pre-treated with vehicle or 1 X Actinomycin D for 4h at 37°C prior to 24 hours incubation with RNA Label then processed for detection of de novo synthesized RNA according: Upper panel corresponds to green fluorescence of de novo synthesized RNA. The lower panel shows cells treated with Actinomycin. Nuclear staining confirms that the green signal results from RNA Label incorporation.
