New Cleavase Fragment Length Polymorphism Method
CleavaseFragment Length Polymorphism (CFLP) analysis is a convenient, accurate and highly sensitive method for the detection and localization of nucleic acid mutations. The assay is well suited for high-throughput screening and can be used to detect mutations in known and unknown nucleic acid samples. A recent improvement in the CFLP assay termed “temperature ramping” or “ramping” is reported ...
متن کاملGenotyping Neisseria gonorrhoeae using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.
An evaluation of fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) for typing Neisseria gonorrhoeae using 52 isolates revealed that its discriminatory power approached that of Opa-typing in identifying epidemiologically linked isolates. Automated, accurate sizing of FAFLP amplified fragments permits objective data analysis and storage, making it an attractive method for large surveilla...
متن کاملDetermination of hepatitis C virus genotypes in the United States by cleavase fragment length polymorphism analysis.
We describe the application of a new DNA-scanning method, which has been termed Cleavase Fragment Length Polymorphism (CFLP; Third Wave Technologies, Inc., Madison, Wis.), for the determination of the genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV). CFLP analysis results in the generation of structural fingerprints that allow discrimination of different DNA sequences. We analyzed 251-bp cDNA products gener...
متن کاملFluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism genotyping of Neisseria meningitidis identifies clones associated with invasive disease.
Fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP), a genotyping technique with phylogenetic significance, was applied to 123 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis. Nine of these were from an outbreak in a British university; 9 were from a recent outbreak in Pontypridd, Glamorgan; 15 were from sporadic cases of meningococcal disease; 26 were from the National Collection of Type Cultures; 5...
متن کاملPeptidoglycan fragment release from Neisseria meningitidis.
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a symbiont of the human nasopharynx. On occasion, meningococci disseminate from the nasopharynx to cause invasive disease. Previous work showed that purified meningococcal peptidoglycan (PG) stimulates human Nod1, which leads to activation of NF-κB and production of inflammatory cytokines. No studies have determined if meningococci release PG or activat...
