DNA extract from tissues or cells

  1. prepare the following lysis buffer (1 liter):

100 mM Tris pH 8.5                          (100 ml of 1 M pH8.5 Tris-HCl)
5 mM EDTA                                     (10 ml of 0.5 M EDTA)
0.5% SDS                                         (50 ml of 10% SDS)
200 mM NaCl                                    (40 ml 5M NaCl)

2. add 800 ml water, dissolve it completely.
3. add water to 1 liter.

For DNA extraction, add 1 ml lysis buffer into 1x10^6 cells or equivalent of tissue, mix well, then add proteinase K to the reaction solution at 300 ug/ml.

Incubate it at 55°C for a few hours(cells) or overnight (tissue).

Add 2.5 volume of 95-100% ethanol into the lysis buffer, gently mix. Pick up the white DNA and wash twice in 70% alcohol, air-dry for 10-15 minutes, dissolve into 200-500 ul TE buffer. Store at -4 for future use.

Proteinase K Preparation:

For 100ml of storage buffer:


50 ml

Glycerol

1 ml

1M Tris-HCl pH 7.5

0.29g

CaCl2

ddH20

to 100ml

For 10 ml of Proteinase K stock solution:

  • Put 10ml of storage buffer in a 15ml screw-cap tube
  • Add 100mg of Proteinase K
  • mix well by inverting until crystals are dissolved
  • put 1ml aliquots into 1.5ml microfuge tubes

Store at -20°C.
