cross-hybridization in T7 RNA assay

[rla at canctr.mc.duke.edu]

We are  picking up a lot of anti-sense msg in vivo and in reconstruction
expts using T7-driven hot RNA. Hybridization to sense DNA is significant (maybe
10% of hybridization to anti-sense DNA).  We've washed these blots at
extraordinarily high stringency (like 0.01x SSC, 0.1% SDS, 68 C) and still have
hybridization to sense DNA (BTW, this is all being done using M13 ssDNA on
filters).

Any comments on how we might reduce this noise?
