Optimization of apolipoprotein(a) genotyping with pulsed field gel electrophoresis.
BACKGROUND Increased lipoprotein(a) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, and its concentration in serum is inversely correlated with the size of the apoliprotein(a) [apo(a)] component. The size of the apo(a) gene is determined mainly by the Kringle IV size polymorphism. We have optimized and characterized pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for apo(a) genotyping. METHODS Established PFGE...
متن کاملPulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
DNA molecules in an agarose matrix elongate and migrate toward the anode when exposed to an electric field. An agarose matrix represents a highly irregular network with pores of various dimensions, large open areas, and regions with different densities. During electrophoresis, migration will be retarded by obstructions that prevent sieving by size and result in "end-on" migration as if through ...
متن کاملOptimization of Assay Conditions in Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis allows separation and visualization of very large DNA molecules. This powerful technique is predominantly used in many aspects in molecular biology and medical diagnostics. Since the procedure for the preparation of the samples involves several steps, many different parameters can be changed and subsequently influence the resolution of the results. Therefore, in...
متن کاملPulsed-field gel electrophoresis of circular DNA.
Mobility of supercoiled (form I) and nicked circular (form II) plasmid DNAs was determined on two major forms of pulsed-field electrophoresis, CHEF and OFAGE. Plasmids with molecular lengths ranging from 2.30 to 17.8 kilobase pairs (kb) were used with Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes as standards. Agarose gel concentrations were varied from 0.3 to 2.0 percent, with higher percentage gels re...
متن کاملPulsed homogeneous orthogonal field gel electrophoresis (PHOGE).
A versatile system (PHOGE) has been developed that allows resolution of molecules of DNA megabase pair size by the use of homogeneous, orthogonal, pulsed fields. The resulting electrophoretograms have characteristics that differ from those produced by other systems for pulsed field electrophoresis. Molecules in a two-fold range of sizes can be separated with maximum resolution, or a much larger...
