For such microarray analysis, typically the mRNA is reverse-
transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) and labeled with
fluorescence dye or radioisotope. and the single-stranded
cDNA is hybridized to the complementary strand that is already
spread on the matrix with known position. i have only used
microarray from Clontech. theoretically, the RT enzyme with
gene-specific primers can reverse-transcribe the mRNA into
same amount of cDNA. otherwise, you cannot make the comparison
quantitatively.
