Accurate and precise quantification of mRNA in whole blood is made difficult by gene expression changes during blood processing, and by variations and biases introduced by sample preparations. We sought to develop a quantitative whole-blood mRNA assay that eliminates blood purification, RNA isolation, reverse transcription, and target amplification while providing high-quality data in an easy assay format.
