Rapid identification of Helicobacter pylori strains is of importance for diagnosis and then treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers. We developed a CE approach for the analysis of RFLP of the PCR products of urease (UreAB) gene and flagellin A (FlaA) gene fragments. Prior to CE analysis, the 2.4-kbp UreAB and 1.5-kbp FlaA PCR products were digested with the restriction enzymes HaeIII and HhaI, respectively. The DNA fragments were then separated by CE in conjunction with laser-induced fluorescence detection using poly(ethylene oxide) in the presence of electroosmotic flow. The DNA fragments range in sizes 259-1831 bp and 12-827 bp for UreAB and FlaA restriction fragments, respectively. Of 27 samples, the CE approach provided five and ten different RFLP patterns of the HaeIII and HhaI digests. The RFLP of PCR products of the two genes allow great sensitivity of identification of H. pylori strains. When compared with slab gel electrophoresis, the present CE approach provides advantages of rapidity (within 6 min per run), simplicity, and automation. The preliminary results have shown great practicality of the CE approach for screening H. pylori strains.

D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
