Evaluating reverse transcription

[Patrick HJ Falckh]

'Lo Netters,

I was wondering if anyone had tried 5'end-labelled oligo(dT) to evaluate 
RT of sample mRNA rather than the inclusion of the dNTP into the RT mix 
??  I thought that the use of the labelled oligo would allow better 
determination the degree of reverse transcription that occurred relative 
to the labelling of the oligo ... is this logic flawed and if so why 
??!!

All comments appreciated

Tah Muchly
