PCR Primers for beta actin

[dkim at unm.edu]

Hello:

We are trying to get DNA from archived human biopsies.

To test the DNA isolation procedure and PCR, we'd like to have a control
reaction using beta actin or some similarly common tartet.

Has anyone had experience with this? Does it work?


Does anyone have primer sequences for such a control, preferably for a PCR
product of <150 bp?

Thanks in advance.

Daniel Kim.

p.s. I read the post RE:DNA from formalin preserved samples and I am not
encouraged. :(
