Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting DNA from old formalin-fixed tissues. The basic principle of the method is to utilize the microwave thermal effect for fast removing formalin in the fixed tissues via water molecules, and eliminate the DNA-protein crosslinking caused by aldehyde groups of the formalin, thereby completely or partially recovering a DNA structure and further obtaining the DNA with better quality. The invention relates to the simple and high-efficient method for extracting the DNA from the old formalin-fixed tissues, which is based on microwave thermal remediation and can obtain the DNA with higher quality (large fragments and high purity), so that the method can be used for multiplex fluorescent PCR-capillary electrophoresis (FM-CE), denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) analysis, direct DNA sequencing and other molecular biological method analyses.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting DNA from old formalin-fixed tissues, which is used for molecular biology detection. Background technique [0002] With the completion of the Human Genome and Haploid Project, life science research has entered a new stage of functional genomics. Emerging disciplines represented by cancer genomics and pharmacogenomics have brought bright prospects for the realization of individualized prevention and treatment of major human diseases such as cancer. However, the first prerequisite for these large-scale genomics tests is the availability of good-quality DNA samples. Fresh tissue specimens are an ideal source of DNA samples, but sampling and transportation are difficult, and may affect the final pathological diagnosis of patients and affect the quality of medical care, so it is difficult to carry out routinely. Paraffin-embedded tissue (wax block) is routinely preserved in the pathology department of the ho...
