Shahram,

I, like others (who have also posted on the net) am always keen to find better 
RT-PCR controls.  I'm not familiar with succinate dehydrogenase - can you 
please post more details, like PCR primers, whether applicable to both 
mouse/human, whether pseudogenes are a problem etc.  I'd be very grateful...
