Novel PCR assay for determining the genetic sex of mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of studies require the determination of the genetic sex of mouse embryos before sexual differentiation and/or of mutant mice that display partial or complete sex reversal. The majority of current methods for sexing by PCR involve multiplexing of 2 primer pairs. We have developed a novel sexing PCR using a single primer pair that amplifies fragments from the X and the Y chromosome with a clear size difference between the respective amplicons. This assay provides a rapid and reliable method to identify the genetic sex of mice across different mouse strains.

The role of microRNAs (miRs) is shown as a biomarker whose expression level changes have been associated with cancer development and progression. Circulating miRNAs have been postulated as biomarkers for breast cancer. Detection and diagnosis of miRNA markers could provide an improved and sensitive method in the clinical application. In this study, we applied and improved the effective approach...
متن کاملDesign, cloning and expression assay of oipA gene in a bicistronic vector harboring mice IL-18 gene: potential implications for Helicobacter pylori vaccine investigations
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has remained as a global health problem. Animal studies demonstrated the role of H. pylori oipA gene in the development of gastric cancer. The aim of this study was the cloning and expression of Helicobacter pylori oipA gene in a bicistronic vector harboring mice IL-18 gene. Materials and methods: The target gene encoding oipA was amp...

متن کاملComparative In silico Study of Sex-Determining Region Y (SRY) Protein Sequences Involved in Sex-Determining
Background: The SRY gene (SRY) provides instructions for making a transcription factor called the sex-determining region Y protein. The sex-determining region Y protein causes a fetus to develop as a male. In this study, SRY of 15 spices included of human, chimpanzee, dog, pig, rat, cattle, buffalo, goat, sheep, horse, zebra, frog, urial, dolphin and killer whale were used for determine of bioi...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of chimeric MUC1-HER2 vaccine against breast cancer in mice
Objective(s): Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and is on the increase. MUC1 and HER2 as tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are abnormally expressed to some extent in 75–80% of breast cancers. In our present research, a novel chimeric MUC1-HER2 (HM) protein was designed and used to study whether an immune response can be generated against these TAAs. In vitro analysis ...
