A highly sensitive method for detecting deoxyribonucleases (DNases) I and II on an electrophoresed gel is described. A dried agarose film sheet containing DNA as a substrate and a buffer reagent was placed in contact with the gel surface after electrophoresis (DAFO method, Yasuda et al., Anal. Biochem. 1989, 183, 84-88). After an appropriate incubation period, the film sheet was peeled off and stained with SYBR-Green I (SG), and then the DNase isozyme bands were detected using a fluorescence image analyzer. We could detect pg levels of the DNases (DNase I, 2 pg; DNase II, 2pg), which represents a 32- to 128-fold increase in sensitivity compared with the original DAFO method using ethidium bromide (EB) as the fluorescent dye. A combination of this new detection method and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel allowed accurate DNase I typing from 1 microL human serum. This new technique has been named SG-DAFO, after its original dried agarose film overlay method using EB (EB-DAFO).
