LABORATORY PROCEDURES FOR ANIMAL & HUMAN CELL LINES

REFERENCE NO: AHC/1998/3/3.1/3.1


TITLE: CONFIRMATION OF SPECIES BY DIRECT ANALYSIS OF RESTRICTION DIGESTS OF GENOMIC DNA


PROCEDURE

  1. Quantify DNA samples (protocol AHC/1998/3/3.1/2.3 Appendix 11) and prepare digests of 2mg DNA (x=volume containing 2mg DNA) with HinfI, HaeIII or EcoRI as follows:
  2. xml (2mg) DNA + 2ml Enzyme (10u/m1) + 2ml 10x Enzyme buffer + (16-x)ml Sterile Water

    = 20ml final digest volume

    NB: Prepare digests of DNA's of known species in parallel.

  3. Vortex, briefly microfuge (10,000 to 13,000 rpm) and incubate overnight at 35 to 38oC, or 3 to 4 hr at 35 to 38°C EcoRI.
  4. Prepare a minigel (1.0% agarose in 1 x TBE containing 10ml 10mg/ml of ethidium bromide per 100ml). (protocol AHC/1998/3/3.1/2.3 Appendix 3).
  5. Add 2ml gel loading solution A (protocol AHC/1998/3/3.1/2.3 Appendix 4).
  6. Electrophorese digests, for 30 min to 2 hr at 75V in parallel with standard digests and markers (eg l Hind III digest or BCL VI marker).
  7. Photograph the gel over UV-light illumination
  8. Plot markers on log scale graph and record size of bands or read off result using standard samples.
