An alternative protocol for DNA extraction from formalin fixed and paraffin wax embedded tissue.
BACKGROUND DNA extraction from paraffin wax embedded tissue requires special protocols, and most described methods report an amplification success rate of 60-80%. AIMS To propose a simple and inexpensive protocol consisting of xylene/ethanol dewaxing, followed by a kit based extraction. METHOD Xylene/ethanol dewaxing was followed by a long rehydration step and a kit based DNA extraction ste...
متن کاملThe use of DNA from paraffin wax preserved tissue for predictive diagnosis in familial adenomatous polyposis.
Received 16 December 1991. Revised version accepted 7 February 1992. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a dominantly inherited condition which predisposes family members to the development of colorectal carcinoma, usually in their thirties. Carcinoma is preceded by the development of widespread adenomatous polyps in the large bowel, and this feature has been used as a diagnostic marker for...
متن کاملDiagnosis of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis by detection of tuberculostearic acid in formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue biopsy specimens.
The use of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring detected tuberculostearic acid (TBSA) in 10 of 12 formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded nasopharyngeal and head and neck biopsy specimens from patients with confirmed tuberculosis and carcinoma, and in one of 50 control specimens (giving a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 98%). The two false negative cases h...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method For DNA Extraction From Paraffin Wax Embedded Tissues For PCR Amplification Of Human And Viral DNA
Background and Objective: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are a valuable source of DNA for molecular studies. We designed and optimized an efficient procedure for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Materials and Methods: Seventy three blocks of cervical paraffin-embedded tissues were investigated. DNA was extracted using 45 minutes boiling in alkaline sol...
متن کاملPloidy of smooth muscle tumours: retrospective image analysis study of formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue.
The feasibility of using an image analyser, the CAS 100, to assess the ploidy of smooth muscle tumours on formalin fixed paraffin wax embedded tissue was assessed. Various different methods of assessment were compared. A paraffin wax block of 15 leiomyomata and 13 leiomyosarcomata yielded serial sections of 3 microns, 5 microns, and 7 microns and a cytospin preparation (from a 50 micron section...
