Antibodies for cytoplasmic background proteins

Greetings,

	Just a point. While actin is often used as a loading control
in RNA blots, it would be unlikely to be useful in microscopy because
actin is mostly filamentous in cells. You might like to consider a
stain for RNA which will label the cytoplasm smoothly and uniformly.

	Hope this helps,
