Determination of host bacterium genomic DNA content in DNA vaccine with digoxigenin-labeled probe / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

The ribosomal DNA fragment was amplified with PCR utilizing synthetic primers with host bacteria chromosomal DNA as template. The resultant probes were labeled with Digoxigenin and were applied in the dot blot of DNA vaccine samples. The host bacteria genomic DNA in DNA vaccine against hepatitis B was less than 15 ng/?g. Digoxigenin labeled probes proved sensitive and reliable in determining genomic DNA.
