Methods for Separate Isolation of Cell-Free DNA and Cellular DNA from Urine-Application of Methylation-Specific PCR on both DNA Fractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of genomic DNA is widely-used for research, forensic and diagnostic purposes. Here we describe reliable methods for isolation of cell-free DNA and cellular DNA from urine. Both DNA fractions are suitable for PCR and Methylation-Specific PCR (MSP) amplification, leading to consistent and reproducible results. A kinetics analysis describes the decline of efficiency of MSP performed with urinary DNA which had been stored at room temperature with and without proteinase K for various time periods.

A convenient method to generate methylated and un-methylated control DNA in methylation studies
Methylated and un-methylated control DNA is an important part of DNA methylation studies. Although human and mouse DNA methylation control sets are commercially available, in case of methylation studies on other species such as animals, plants, and bacteria, control sets need to be prepared. In this paper a simple method of generating methylated and un-methylated control DNA is described. Whole...
متن کاملO-45: Quantification of Cell-Free-Fetal-DNAfrom Maternal Plasma for the First Time in Pakistan:Implications for Non-Invasive PrenatalDiagnosis of Genetic Disorders
Background: Current prenatal diagnosis requires invasive testing which carries a 1-4% procedure-related-risk of miscarriage; hence, non-invasive techniques are desired. The recent demonstration of cell-free-fetal-DNA enriched from maternal plasma has opened new possibilities for non-invasive-prenatal-diagnosis of not only genetic-disorders such as β-thalassaemia and haemophilia but also chromos...

Background: Alpinia galanga L. belonging to the family Zingiberaceae is widely grown in the state of Kerala, India. They are effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger under both in vitro and in vivo condition. The efficacy of the isolated flavonoids in conferring protection from radiation induced damages to genomic DNA was studied. Materials and Methods: The bioflavonoids, galangin and k...
متن کاملThe role and importance of DNA methylation in spermatogenesis process
Background: DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic marks that are created by de novo DNA methylation and be maintained through cell division. This process is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases. DNA methylation establishment in germ line is important, since they have the potential to regulate gene expression in offspring and improper DNA methylation patterns in germ lines has serious conseque...
متن کاملApplication of Rapid and Sensitive Real Time PCR Technique in Detection of DNA Impurities in Recombinant Interferon
Background & Objective: Interferon belongs to a family of cytokines, which has the most important role in the innate immune response to virus infections. While producing recombinant interferon in biological host, some pieces of host nucleic acids remain in product. Because of limitations in previous techniques for detection of these impurities, the objective of this study is to use rapid ...
