The invention relates to the field of molecular detection and biological sample treatment, and discloses a
saliva collection, pretreatment and
cell sorting method for
telomere length detection. The method selects
saliva as a sample and comprises the following steps: pre-treating the
saliva sample; neutrophils in the
saliva sample are obtained through
magnetic bead sorting, and the obtained neutrophils are used for fluorescent quantitative
telomere length detection after being subjected to
nucleic acid extraction. According to the method, saliva is selected as a
telomere detection sample, no trauma is caused to a
human body, and the problems that at present,
sample collection is unqualified, transportation is improper, the quality of the
saliva sample is unqualified due to long-time placement, follow-up treatment sorting and
genome extraction are affected, and correct telomere detection is greatly interfered are effectively solved. Besides, through pretreatment and
magnetic bead sorting of a
saliva sample, target cells are collected, interference of saliva impurities is reduced, the integrity of the extracted
genome DNA is high, the concentration of the target
genome is high, subsequent fluorescent quantitative detection is facilitated, and the detection result is more accurate.
