    摘要: The invention relates to a method for analyzing cytosine methylations in DNA sequences, according to which non-methylated cytosines are first converted into uracil while 5-methylcytosine remains unmodified. The DNA is then amplified by means of a polymerase and at least one primer whose 5 end is connected to a probe via a linker. The probe is intramolecularly hybridized onto the amplified products in accordance with the methylation state of the DNA, hybridization being detectable via different detection systems. The inventive method is particularly suitable for diagnosing and predicting cancer diseases and other diseases associated with a modification of the methylation state as well as for predicting undesired effects of medicaments.

    摘要: The method according to the invention concerns in particular a method for the quantification of methylated DNA. For this purpose, the DNA to be examined is first transformed such that unmethylated cytosine is converted to uracil while 5-methylcytosine remains unchanged. Subsequently, the transformed DNA is amplified in the presence of a pair of real-time probes. For this, a probe is constructed, which is specific for the methylated or for the unmethylated state of the DNA, and a probe, which binds methylation-unspecifically to the amplificate. The ratio of the signal intensities of the probes or the CT values allows for the calculation of the degree of methylation of the examined DNA. The method according to the invention is suited particularly for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer and other diseases associated with a change in the methylation status, as well as, prediction of adverse for side-effects of pharmaceuticals.

    摘要: Described herein is a method for the detection of cyto-sine methylation in DNA samples, wherein the following steps are conducted: a genomic DNA sample, which comprises the DNA to be investigated as well as background DNA is treated with bisulfite (= disulfite, hydrogen sulfite) in such a way that all of the unmethylated cytosine bases are converted to uracil, while the 5-methylcytosine bases remain unchanged; the bisulfite treated DNA sample is amplified with the use of at least 2 primer oligonucleotides as well as a polymerase, wherein the DNA to be investigated is pre-ferred over the background DNA as the template, and a control fragment is amplified simultaneously to the am-plification of the bisulfite treated DNA within the same reaction mixture the amplified products are analyzed and the methylation status in the DNA to be investigated is concluded from the presence and /or the amount of the amplified products and/or from the analysis of additional positions.

    摘要: Particular aspects provide methods for specific amplification of template DNA in the presence of potentially contaminating PCR products from previous amplification experiments. Particular embodiments comprise, in a first step, contacting DNA with a bisulfite solution, which sulfonates unmethylated (but not methylated) cytosines, resulting in cytosine deamination and generation of sulfonated uracil. Such sulfonation protects the template nucleic acid from being a target for the enzyme uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UNG), whereas any contaminating DNA, which contains unprotected unsulfonated or desulfonated uracils, is degraded enzymatically while the UNG is active. After UNG treatment and inactivation thereof, the sulfonated uracil bases are converted into uracil by desulfonation. Such aspects have substantial utility for decontamination of nucleic acid samples; e.g., for avoiding amplification of ‘carry over products’ in the context of DNA methylation analysis. In further aspects, the inventive methods can be generally used as simplified methods of bisulfite treatment.
