DNA Extraction from Normal and Cancer Tissues in a Section on a Histology Slide
29 Jan 2015Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in colon cancer tissue was assessed by PCR using microsatellite markers. DNA was extracted by DEXPAT™ from normal tissue and from neoplastic lesions of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded colorectal tumors. To achieve accurate and highly sensitive PCR amplification, DNA extracted with DEXPAT™ is best used in conjunction with TaKaRa Ex Taq™.

DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.

The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Colorectal Cancer
