AMPLICOR technology
• Detection of specific PCR products based on
reverse hybridization
• Uses AmpErase
• For the detection of the presence or absence of
specific PCR products and indication of the
amount of target present
• Is not being used for the detection of the
presence of mutations or polymorphisms
• Commercial kits see transparancies

Sequencing
• Cycle sequencing with fluorescently labeled dideoxynucleotide triphosphates and ONE primer
• Amplification is linear and NOT exponential  more
starting material is needed
• Most convenient and polyvalent technique to diagnose
mutations and polymorphisms
• Data interpretation is very time consuming
• Some kits are commercially available eg HLA typing

Cycle-Sequencing
Separate fragments on a polyacrylamide (high resolution gel)
Fragments of a certain length all end with the same label
(nucleotide) unless polymorphisms are present (heterozygous)
Detection with laser fluorescence-detection
DNA micro arrays
• Very recent technology
• Gene array, GeneChip (Affymetrix), genome chip
• Current problem: large quantities of RNA are necessary
2-5 µg mRNA; 107-108 cells; 1 tot 10 mg tissue for gene
expression analysis
• Based on reverse hybridization
• Non labeled probes immobilized on glas or membranes
(nylon or nitrocellulose) in spots smaller than 200 µm
• 2 big technological variants (see publications)
• Not suited for de novo gene discovery
DNA micro arrays
• cDNA-probes
– Probes 500 to 5000 bases, prepare cDNA libraries
using PCR, PURIFY cDNA
– Using spotting robot probes are immobilised on
carrier
– Disadvantage: long probes give rise to mismatch
hybridisation, construction of arrays is very labour
intensive
– Advantage: can be “self”-assambled
– See publication on gene expression
DNA micro arrays GENE EXPRESSION studies
• Used to study differences in gene expression between
different cell populations (disease versus healthy state,
with or without stimulus,...)
• RNA extraction, use oligo-dT primed cDNA synthesis
with fluorescent labels Cye3-dUTP or Cye5-dUTP
• The problem of transcription bias during RT-PCR is
solved by comparing the same DNA between two
populations
• After hybridization scan the chip with a CCD camera

DNA micro arrays
• Oligonucleotide arrays
– Probes 20-25 bases, can be synthesized directly onto
the chip (glass slide)
– Photolithography and oligonucleotide synthesis
– see publication
Oligonucleotide arrays
Oligonucleotide arrays
• Oligonucleotide arrays
– Probes 20-25 bases, can be synthesized directly onto
the chip (glass slide)
– Photolithography and oligonucleotide synthesis
– Disadvantage: has to be made by company (custom
synthesis) Affymetrix
– Advantage: more polyvalent, more specific by using
multiple short probes for a single gene, mismatch
controles
– See publication
Oligonucleotide arrays
• Applications:
– Gene-expression studies comparable with cDNAprobe micro arrays
• Multiple probes for each gene under study
• Perfect match – mismatch probes
• Chips can be purchased for several applications (see
publication)
• DIAGNOSTIC USE:
– Gene-expression studies for classification of cancers, predict
disease progression, predict sensitivity towards certain
therapeutics...

Oligonucleotide arrays
Determining the DNA sequence of a certain, or some
genes
Detection of mutations, substitutions

Detection of several alleles of certain DNA sequences
Polymorphisms of genes
SNP analysis and mapping
Allele specific oligonucleotide
hybridization ASO
• Dot-blotting, apply and bind target DNA on membrane
(nylon, nitrocellulose)
• Denature and hybridize labeled probe, wash and detect
(radio-active or non radioactive techniques (see earlier))
• Can be used for the detection of point-mutations
• ASO-probe 15-20 nucleotides, difference central in
probe
• Also reverse dot-blot ASO, unlabeled probe is bound to
membrane, hybridize with labeled target (analogous to
LiPA and AMPLICOR)

Oligonucleotide ligation assay OLA
• Test for known point mutations or
polymorphisms
• Based on the ligation of two probes in case of
exact complementarity
• Uses DNA-ligases: rTth, T4 DNA ligase
• Allows for testing of 31 known mutations in one
single analysis
• Detect fluorescently labeled probes with laser
fluorescence detection

different common probes)
EACH selective probe must

In situ amplification (In situ PCR)
• PCR in fixed tissues or cells, correlation of a
PCR result with morphology
• More sensitive than in situ hybridization ISH
• Sufficiently permeabilize cell for PCR reagents,
but keep cell structure sufficiently intact to
maintain PCR products
• Study of gene expression and/or mutations in
abnormal cells or tissues

Also ASO probe
can be used
Also non-radio

be used
RFLP
• = Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
• Based on southern blotting
• Typing of mutations which change a restriction
site and big insertions or deletions between
restriction sites
• Used for genotypical classification of virusses

Restriction mapping
• Also based on Southern blotting
• Detects gene-deletions, with intragene DNAprobe (probe against sequence in the gene)
• Small deletions (about 100 bases) give rise to a
shorter fragment
• Large deletions yield no fragment if
homozygous, heterozygous deletions yield a less
intense fragment compared to other band
• Vb 21-hydroxylase deficiency (deficiency in
cortisol and aldosteron production)

Northern blotting
• Variant of Southern in which the target is RNA in
stead of DNA
• Study of expression pattern of a cloned gene in
several tissues
• No restriction enzymes necessary
