Using the polymerase chain reaction to maintain DNA probe inventories in clinical and diagnostic laboratories

Clinical and diagnostic DNA laboratories must maintain a large inventory of DNA probes for use in hybridization studies. The preparation of plasmid DNA and isolation of DNA fragments for use as probes in both expensive and time consuming. We present here a rapid and relatively inexpensive method of producing large amounts of DNA fragments from stocks, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Our experience over the past year using this technique has been very positive and we believe many laboratories could benefit by employing such a labor-saving approach to maintaining DNA probes. The technique uses the bacteriophage M13 DNA sequencing primers to amplify cloned inserts contained in commonly used plasmid vectors. As examples, we illustrate the use of DNA produced in this manner as probes for linkage analysis of the fragile X syndrome and for detection of deletions in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene. We have also found that at least two probes can be amplified in the same PCR reaction, allowing the detection of two different restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) simultaneously. It should be possible for laboratories to devise strategies particular to their individual needs using more than one DNA probe produced in the same PCR reaction to detect RFLP's. Such strategies would need only to consider that the predicted alleles of the multiple polymorphisms do not migrate to the same position during electrophoresis. Stocks of single or multiple probes produced by the PCR could then be maintained for more rapid Southern analyses.

Sequestration patterns of transfused rat neutrophilic granulocytes under normal and inflammatory conditions

Abstract: The fate of polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes (PMN) after their mobilization from the bone marrow of healthy individuals is not clearly understood. It has been suggested that there is a continuous utilization of these cells in widespread, subclinical inflammatory foci, where they are ultimately degraded. The goal of the present experiments was to determine whether an alternative ecotaxis (“homing”) exists, namely sequestration and degradation of PMN by mononuclear phagocytes exposed to the bloodstream in the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Blood PMN were collected from donor rats, labelled with ⁵¹Cr, and injected i.v. into 2 syngeneic rats, one of them having an induced sterile peritonitis. After various time intervals up to 18 h, the rats were killed and exsanguinated. As expected, we found cell-bound radioactivity in the inflamed peritoneal cavities, and also a high amount of radioactivity in liver, spleen, and bone marrow. The bone marrow uptake of PMN appeared to be much lower in the inflammation rats than in the normal controls. These findings were confirmed in PMN transfer experiments using PVG rats congenic for the RT7 alloantigenic system. Here, transfused blood leukocytes were traced with fluorescent, monoclonal HIS41 antibodies and flow cytometry. A possible corticosteroid effect on the bone marrow sequestration could not be substantiated. Uptake and degradation of PMN takes place in organs containing phagocytes exposed to the bloodstream. Sequestration of PMN in the bone marrow is apparently down-regulated in inflammatory states, perhaps increasing the PMN availability to inflamed tissue.

Virological, biochemical and histological effects of human lymphoblastoid interferon in Swedish patients with chronic hepatitis C

Thirty-eight Swedish patients with chronic hepatitis C were randomly assigned to receive either 3 million units (MU) or 5MU of human lymphoblastoid interferon-α-n1 (Wellferon) three times per week for either 6 or 12 months. The patients were monitored biochemically, histologically and by quantitative polymerase chain reaction for circulating HCV RNA, during therapy and for the following year. Overall, 22 (58%) of the patients lost detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) viraemia during therapy but eight of these patients relapsed during follow-up, leaving 14 (37%) sustained responders. Patients infected with HCV non-type 1 genotypes were significantly more likely to achieve a sustained response than were those infected with HCV type 1 (63% vs 10.5%, P =0.001). Sustained virological responses were also associated with lower pretreatment viraemia level, younger age, absence of cirrhosis and the higher interferon dosage regimens but these associations failed to reach statistical significance. In 97% of patients there was concordance between virological and biochemical responses, and a statistically significant ( P =0.005) improvement in the Knodell histological activity index was observed in the virological sustained responders.
