| Method | For method development in vitro, a lymphocyte cell line (PM1) was cultured in the presence of [6,6-2H2]-glucose. RNA was extracted, hydrolyzed enzymatically to ribonucleosides, and derivatized to either the aldonitrile tetra-acetate or the pentafluoro triacetate derivative of the pentose before GC-MS. |
| Comments | Labeled total RNA was lost at a rate (l*) of about 15%/day, equivalent to a mean half-life (t1/2) of about 5 days. |
