Mesothelioma

A method for recovery of high-molecular-weight DNA suitable for field-inversion gel electrophoresis from frozen tumor cells.


We describe a simple method for isolation of high-molecular-weight (high-mol-wt, > 800 kilobases) DNA from tumor cell lines frozen without dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or other protective agents. This method should be applicable to most frozen tissues and useful for molecular genetic studies such as field-inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE), or cloning procedures that require access to intact, high-mol-wt DNA.




The information provided in this site is general in nature and constitutes neither legal nor medical advice. If you are concerned that you or someone you know is at risk of an asbestos-related disease, please consult your physician and an attorney experienced in asbestos litigation cases.
