Dear Maria,

Need more information!  What is your source?  Mammalian cells?
What will this used for?

I do my RNA extraction by using Guanidine isothiocyanate / ultra
centrifugation method (paper by Chomzinski and Sacchi - if I 
spell it right).  After that I use oligo dT cellulose to 
pull out poly A+ RNA from the total RNA.  Extracting RNA is 
a pain in the neck, you have to be very careful not to 
contaminate it with ribonuclease.  Otherwise all RNA will be
degraded.


You might want to check a book called Molecular Cloning published
by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.  This is a very good book.

Good Luck
