Abstract:
DNA of 1 ml Ascites, bile, liquor, pleural-exsudate, pericardial-fluid, synovial-fluid, urine and vitreous humor of sixteen bodies of either sex was isolated. Applying dot-blot-hybridisation black spots were obtained by using total human DNA as DNA-probe (A), if the origin is human. Our results showed, that body-fluids of dead persons contain human DNA, mainly. After rehybridisation with a sex-specific DNA-probe (Y) (pJA 1143) a determination of sex can be performed.
