| Research Abstract |
The development of a real-time quantitative TaqMan PCR assay permits the high quality analysis of DNA or RNA. With the TaqMan PCR, Lo.et al. (1998) were successful in measuring the concentration of fetal DNA in maternal plasma and serum.
Using ABI PRISM 7700 System (PE Applied Biosystems), we tried to detect the target DNA sequence of SRY and beta actin locus in the PEP (primer extension preamplification) products from a single cell. Single NRBCs (nucleated red blood cells) were retrieved from cord blood smear of male fetus using a micromanipulator.
The detection rates of beta actin and SRY locus were 55% and 35%, respectively. Quantitative results of PEP products from single NRBCs were 0.5-59.5 (m=4.8) copies in beta actin and 2.4-278.4 (m=17.8) copies in SRY locus.
Our quantitative data show the concentration of a single locus DNA amplified by PEP from a single NRBC. The advantages of PEP-TaqMan PCR system are high specificity and sensitivity.
This system seems a powerful tool for fetal DNA diagnosis from maternal blood.
