Protocol is the first in a set of three describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR).  The method begins with the harvesting of total RNA from the tissue-cultured cells of interest.  For other starting materials, such as blood samples, please see Extraction and Purification of RNA from Blood Samples for Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display.
