RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi padronizar uma metodologia de extração de DNA de alta qualidade a partir de amostras de sangue coagulado. Quarenta e oito amostras de sangue humano coagulado foram utilizadas para a extração de DNA pelo kit comercial EZ-DNA® (Biological Industries, Beit Haemek, Israel), pelo kit de coluna Neoscience® (One Lambda Inc., San Diego, CA) e pelo método modificado de salting out. Apenas o método de salting out foi capaz de extrair altas concentrações de DNA (média, 180ng/µL), as quais foram medidas pelo detector de fluorescência Qubit® (Invitrogen, USA). Este método permitiu a amplificação dos genes HLA (human leukocyte antigens) pela tecnologia PCR-SSO (polymerase chain reaction - specific sequence of oligonucleotides) Luminex, a qual exige DNA de boa qualidade, e de genes KIR (killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors) pela técnica made in house PCR-SSP (polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific of primers), a qual demanda uma concentração específica de DNA (10ng/µL). Concluímos que a técnica de salting out modificada foi muito eficiente, simples e rápida para a extração de DNA de amostras de sangue humano coagulado, com o objetivo de realizar a genotipagem de genes HLA e KIR.
The objective of this study was to standardize a method for extracting high-quality DNA from samples of coagulated blood. Forty-eight samples of human coagulated blood were used for DNA extraction by means of the EZ-DNA® commercial kit (Biological Industries, Beit Haemek, Israel), the Neoscience® column kit (One Lambda Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and a modified salting-out method. Only the salting-out method was able to extract high concentrations of DNA (mean, 180 ng/»l), which were measured using the Qubit® fluorescence detector (Invitrogen, USA). This method enabled amplification of HLA (human leukocyte antigen) genes using the Luminex PCR-SSO (polymerase chain reaction - sequence-specific oligonucleotide) technology, which demands good quality DNA, and amplification of KIR (killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor) genes using an in-house PCR-SSP (polymerase chain reaction - sequence-specific primer) technique, which demands a specific concentration of DNA (10 ng/»l). We concluded that the modified salting-out technique was very efficient, simple and fast for DNA extraction from human coagulated blood samples, with the aim of genotyping the HLA and KIR genes.

Only the salting-out method was able to extract high concentrations of DNA (mean, 180 ng/(1/4)microl), which were measured using the Qubit fluorescence detector (Invitrogen, USA). This method enabled amplification of HLA (human leukocyte antigen) genes using the Luminex PCR-SSO (polymerase chain reaction - sequence-specific oligonucleotide) technology, which demands good quality DNA, and amplification of KIR (killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor) genes using an in-house PCR-SSP (polymerase chain reaction - sequence-specific primer) technique, which demands a specific concentration of DNA (10 ng/(1/4)microl).
