A RAPID AND SIMPLE METHOD OF DNA EXTRACTION FROM CLINICAL SPECIMENS CONTAINING MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE FOR PCR ASSAYS
We describe a rapid, simple, and reliable procedure for routine isolation of Mycobacterium leprae DNA from slit-skin swab specimens. This one-step DNA extraction method is based on the utilization of ChelexR 100, a chelating ion exchange resin. Slit-skin swab specimens from seven untreated leprosy patients at Baba Baghi Leprosy Hospital in Iran were processed by this procedure. The polymer...
متن کاملExtraction and genotyping of Cryptosporidium parvum DNA from fecal smears on glass slides stained conventionally for direct microscope examination.
A method was developed for extracting cryptosporidial DNA from stained fecal smears on glass microscope slides. The correct genotype of Cryptosporidium parvum was amplified by PCR from 89 (85%) of 105 smears following conventional staining but not from negative controls. This technique may have applications for analysis of other infectious agents.
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis detection from milk of negative skin test cows
MycobacteriuM bovis is the bovine tuberculosis (bTB) agent, which is still an important infection in bovine herds. Apart from this, bTB is also a zoonotic disease, and human beings can be infected by the consumption of non-pasteurised milk and its derivatives (Michel and others 2010). Hence, bTB is still endemic worldwide (Humblet and others 2009). The single intradermal test (SIT) is a worldwi...
متن کاملGenotyping of Mycobacterium leprae present on Ziehl-Neelsen-stained microscopic slides and in skin biopsy samples from leprosy patients in different geographic regions of Brazil.
We analysed 16 variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) and three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in Mycobacterium leprae present on 115 Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N)-stained slides and in 51 skin biopsy samples derived from leprosy patients from Ceará (n = 23), Pernambuco (n = 41), Rio de Janeiro (n = 22) and Rondônia (RO) (n = 78). All skin biopsies yielded SNP-based genotypes, while 48 of the sampl...
متن کاملextraction and acetylation of purified trypsin from bovin pancreas and study of some its physico-chemical properties
آنزیم تریپسین در شرایط قلیایی ناپایدار می باشد .و فعالیت پروتئولیتیکی تریپسین منجربه خود هضمی آن در جایگاههای خاصی می گردد. بنابر این آنزیمی با ناپایداری بالا محسوب میگردد. در سالهای اخیر موفق شدند که با ایجاد تغیرات شیمیایی با اضافه کردن فلزات خاص ، کلسیم و یا عمل استیلاسیون منجر به افزایش پایداری آنزیم تریپسین گردند. مطالعات در حال حاضر نشان می دهد که تریپسین استیله شده فعالیت آنزیمی خود را ...
