The use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in a polymer network for single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) is investigated. SSCP is a method to detect DNA point mutations, essential in the diagnosis of several diseases. The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplified p53 gene, a tumour suppressor gene known to be frequently mutated in malignant cells, was subjected to CE analysis. Two single-strand DNA fragments of 372 bp in length differing in only one nucleotide could be separated. We conclude that SSCP using CE in a polymer network is a powerful method for the detection of point mutations in DNA sequences.
研究了在聚合物网络中使用毛细管电泳（CE）进行单链构象多态性（SSCP）分析。SSCP是一种检测DNA点突变的方法，在多种疾病的诊断中至关重要。对经聚合酶链反应（PCR）扩增的p53基因（一种已知在恶性细胞中经常发生突变的肿瘤抑制基因）进行CE分析。两个长度为372 bp、仅一个核苷酸不同的单链DNA片段能够被分离。我们得出结论，在聚合物网络中使用CE的SSCP是检测DNA序列中点突变的有力方法。
