Abstract

Objectives: To introduce real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) into the initial sample screening, to improve the effectiveness of traditional trace sample extraction method.

Methods: Serial diluted 9947A was quantified using a Rotor-Gene Q real-time RT-PCR, and the genotype was determined with AmpFℓSTRTM IdentifilerTM Plus PCR kit. Thus a quantitative threshold model was built to obtain complete STR typing from the trace samples. In addition, 903 trace samples were used to verify the reliability.

Results: When the samples quality concentration was >0.03 ng/μL, the effective STR typing could be directly obtained; when the concentration was >0.01 and ≤0.03 ng/μL, the effective STR typing could be directly obtained by optimizing the PCR thermal cycle parameters (30 cycles); and when the concentration was ≤0.01 ng/μL, no effective map could be obtained even if PCR was optimized.

Conclusions: The real-time PCR quantitative threshold model is effective for the screening of trace samples.

题目: 微量生物检材定量及分型.

目的: 在传统微量生物检材提取方法中,引入荧光定量流程对样品进行初筛,以提高其有效检验。.

方法: 将DNA标准品9947A梯度稀释,使用Rotor-Gene Q实时荧光定量分析仪定量,用AmpFℓSTR™ Identifiler™ Plus PCR扩增试剂盒检测基因型,构建微量生物检材可获得完整STR分型结果的定量阈值模型,并使用903个微量检材验证其可靠性。.

结果: 检材质量浓度>0.03 ng/μL可直接获得有效的分型;检材质量浓度>0.01~0.03 ng/μL,可通过优化增加PCR热循环参数(30个循环)获得有效分型;检材质量浓度≤0.01 ng/μL时,即使优化PCR也无法得到有效图谱。.

结论: 该实时荧光定量阈值模型可有效对微量生物检材进行初筛。.
