Rapid techniques for DNA extraction from routinely processed archival tissue for use in PCR.

Abstract: Aims-To evaluate the ability of four rapid DNA extraction methods to provide DNA for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from routinely fixed, paraffin wax embedded archival tissues. Methods-Eighteen blocks of various tissues, 18 blocks of cervical cancer specimens, and nine blocks of B cell lymphomas were investigated. Both normal and biopsy specimen sized tissues were studied. DNA was extracted using four methods: boiling for 20 minutes in distilled water; boiling for 20 minutes in 5% Chelex-100 resin soluti… Show more

“…Also, the reproducibility of extracting amplifiable DNA was rather low . In part, this may be explained by the presence of excessive staining residues (Gall et al, 1993;Sepp et al, 1994). Still, we observed in this study that the DNA integrity hardly improved after an additional purification step (salting-out procedure) following proteinase K treatment.…”

“…Then, genomic DNA was purified by phenol/ chloroform extraction. Genomic DNA of some samples was purified from parafilm-embedded blocks (37). The surgical tissues were thinsliced, and parafilm was removed with sufficient amount of xylene.…”

“…Moreover, Chelex-100 chelates polyvalent metal ions, which may act in the breakdown of DNA and PCR inhibition (Sepp et al, 1994;Barea et al, 2004). As this protocol only requires a low sample volume (25 μL) (Manuja et al, 2006), it can be applicable to situations where the quantity of biological material is limited, for example, in forensic assays (Koch and Andrade, 2008;Walsh et al, 1991).…”

“…However, it is clear that the use of the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit is limited by its high cost (Bailes et al, 2007), and extraction with phenol-chloroform is a laborious and potentially hazardous method (Sepp et al, 1994), where a significant amount of DNA can be lost (Goldenberger et al, 1995) and degraded (Hossain et al, 1997) and the PCR inhibited (Goldenberger et al, 1995). By contrast, Chelex-100 resin emerged as a cheap, effective, fast, and simple method, which can be realized in few steps, and does not require the use of organic solvents, which confirms observations of previous studies (Walsh et al, 1991;Simonato et al, 2007).…”
