The psiCHECK™ Vectors provide a quantitative and rapid approach for optimization of RNA interference (RNAi). A target gene of interest can be cloned into the multiple cloning region located downstream of the Renilla translational stop codon. Initiation of RNAi toward the target gene results in cleavage and subsequent degradation of the fusion mRNA including the Renilla luciferase RNA sequence. This RNA degradation results in decreased Renilla luciferase activity.
