    摘要: The present invention presents a novel method for removing endotoxins from nucleic acids, such as DNA, RNA, or hybrids thereof, contaminated therewith. Nucleic acid solutions which can be treated using the method of this invention include, but are not limited to, lysates of gram-negative bacteria and nucleic acid solutions contaminated with endotoxins from external sources. The present method removes endotoxins from such solutions using silica-based materials, such as silica gel particles, magnetic silica particles, or diatomaceous earth. In a preferred aspect of the method of this invention, magnetic silica particles are used to isolate plasmid DNA from a lysate of gram-negative bacteria transformed with the plasmid DNA. Application of the disclosed method produces nucleic acids which are sufficiently free of endotoxin contamination to be useful for a variety of different practical applications.
