We designed oligonucleotide primer pairs to amplify the promoter region, the translated exon sequences, and the flanking intron sequences of all 18 exons of the LDL receptor gene to compare the ability of the PCR single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method with semiautomated solid-phase genomic DNA sequencing to detect sequence variations. In 20 apparently unrelated Danish patient...

amide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) on a 180× 160× 1.5-mm 10% polyacrylamide gel. The separated DNA strands were subsequently visualized by staining with either EtdBr or silver (2). Separation of the DNA strands before electrophoresis using streptavidin paramagnetic beads consistently yielded single-stranded products upon SSCP analysis (Figure 1). Treatment of DNA strands with S1 nuclease before S...

Aim-To correlate immunohistochemical staining with single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of the p53 gene in colorectal cancer in order to understand how the findings provided by the two techniques complement each other in defining p53 functional status.Methods-Frozen tumour tissue from 94 patients with colorectal cancer was studied for p53 protein accumulation and gene mutatio...

Toxin-producing Escherichia coli expressing F18 fimbriae colonizes the small intestines of weaned pigs and causes diarrhea, edema disease, or both. The F18 family is composed of two antigenic variants, F18ab and F18ac. Because many strains do not express F18 fimbriae in vitro, identification and differentiation of these two variants are difficult. Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP...

BACKGROUND The main goal of present study was to detect polymorphism in MSP-1 gene which is a major blood stage candidate for vaccine in Plasmodium vivax by Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism-Polymerase Chain Reaction (SSCP-PCR). METHODS During 2008 to 2010 fifty samples were collected from Iranian patients with P. vivax in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran. All of the samples were det...

In this study, Substitution at codon Ser315 of katG gene, a reliable marker for isoniazid (INH) resistance was analyzed and compared by three molecular methods such as DNA  sequencing, polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) in 105 phenotypically resistant isolates obtained from various parts of Ind...

AIMS To detect clonal T cell populations by high resolution polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using fluorescently labelled nucleotides and analysis on an ABI 377 DNA sequencer, and to evaluate this method using low ionic strength single strand conformation polymorphism (LIS-SSCP) analysis. METHODS DNA samples from 11 patients diagnosed with a T cell disease and 15 with no known T cell disorder ...

background: aspergillus species are associated with allergic bronchopulmonary disease, mycotic keratitis, otomycosis, na­sal sinusitis and invasive infection. in this study, we developed a pcr-single strand confomational polymorphism method to identify the most common aspergillus species and we showed some advantages of this method comparing a pcr-restric­tion fragment length polymorphism with ...

The article presents the results of complex research that continues previous work aimed at determining polymorphism CSN2, PRL, LEP, and TNF-α loci analyzing productivity dairy cattle with different genotypes for these loci. goal is to analyze selection populations cows based on typing individuals allelic variants loci, which are associated economically valuable traits but not directly evaluated...
