Designing Ago2-specific siRNA/shRNA to Avoid Competition with Endogenous miRNAs

Relatively large amounts of transfected siRNA can compete for Ago proteins and thus compromise endogenous miRNA function, potentially leading to toxicities. Here, we show that shRNA can also perturb endogenous miRNA function similarly. More importantly, we also show that the problem can be solved by...
