Abstract
A method for accurately and easily detecting a synthetic siRNA, for example, a siRNA in which the 3′ end is DNA, and a kit used for the method are provided. The present invention relates to a method for detecting a siRNA in which the 3′ end is DNA, comprising: (a) adding polydeoxyadenosine to the 3′ DNA end of at least one strand of the siRNA to be detected to produce a polydeoxyadenosine-added RNA; (b) annealing a polydeoxythymidine primer having a tag sequence at its 5′ side to the polydeoxyadenosine-added RNA and synthesizing DNA from the primer by a reverse transcription; and (c) detecting the DNA synthesized in (b).
