  1. I have heard people state that getting RNA from t-cells is difficult. They attribute this to the fact that as the t-cell is very small it does not contain very much RNA. Now, while I have never said anything I find this logic to be sad. There should be no difference between the total amount of RNA based on the size of a cell. Every cell of an oragnism has the same amount of DNA (with the exception of erythorcytes) so unless they are metabolically more active or more actively transcribing shouldnt their be about the same amount of RNA.I might believe an argument be made that an inactive cell has less RNA than an activated cell but the argument about the size seems to be a little hard for me to swallow. Your thoughts?
