gDNA extraction from buccal cavity

Tissue Preparation

1. Gargle with 14 ml 0.9% NaCl. Apply toothbrush to the inner lining of buccal cavity. Collect the tissue suspension in a tube.

2. Centrifuge at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes.

3. Discard supernatant and transfer pellet in a 1.5 ml eppendorf tube. Add 0.9% NaCl to make up the volume to 1.5 ml.

4. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 4 minutes.

5. Discard supernatant and use pellet for DNA extraction.


DNA extraction (Ron's Tissue DNA Mini Kit)

1. Add 250 µl buffer PB incl. 20 µl proteinase K. Vortex thoroughly at max. speed for 15 s.

2. Incubate the tube at 52°C for 45 min. Vortex occasionally.

3. Add 250 µl buffer AB and vortex for 5 s. Transfer solution to a spin column by pipetting.

4. Centrifuge loaded column at 13000 rpm for 30s. Discard flow-through.

5. Add 400 µl buffer WB to the spin column. Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30s. Discard flow-through.

6. Wash the spin column with 400 µl 70% ethanol by centrifugation at 13000 rpm for 3 min. Carefully remove the tube and discard flow-through.

7. Transfer the column to a 105 ml tube. Place 100 µl buffer EB preheated to 70°C in the centre of the column, close the lid and incubate for 1 min. Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 1 min to elute DNA.



DNA concentration

1. Taster: 58.3 ng/μL (260:280 - 1.77)

2. Non-taster: 25.7 ng/μL (260:280 - 1.74)
