miRNA mimics are small, chemically modified double-stranded RNA molecules designed to specifically bind to and mimic endogenous miRNA molecules and enable miRNA functional analysis by up-regulation of miRNA activity.We have now released the second generation of miRNA mimics,mirVana™ miRNA Mimics which:Exhibit maximum and consistent effect in vitro at low concentrationAre non toxicOffer superior specificity due to unique Star strand modificationTarget the most updated Sanger contentCan be used in vitro and in vivo, offering you consistency throughout your entire research projectPositive and negative controls are also available for use along with mirVana™ miRNA Mimics in miRNA up-regulation experiments.mirVana™ miRNA Mimic miR-1 Positive ControlThe mirVana™ miRNA Mimic miR-1 Positive Control is designed to mimic mature miR-1 miRNA after delivery to mammalian cells. miR-1 is associated with down-regulation of many genes. In particular, miR-1-mediated down-regulation of Protein Tyrosine Kinase 9 (PTK9) has been shown to occur at the mRNA level. miR-1 Positive Control is intended for use as a positive control for transfection experiments using mirVana™ miRNA Mimics. Monitor activity of miR-1 Positive Control through its gene silencing of PTK9, using real-time reverse transcription-PCR to detect PTK9 mRNA.First Generation Mimic ControlsOur first-generation miRNA mimics (and controls), Invitrogen™ Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursors, have lower specificity and potency, plus a lower strand specificity compared to the new mirVana™ miRNA Mimics. These first-generation mimics are recommended for completing ongoing in vitro miRNA studies. For new studies or in vivo studies, we highly recommend our new mirVana™ miRNA Mimics and their corresponding controls.
