Incorporation of 3H-labeled nucleosides and 3H-labeled deoxynucleosides into detergent soluble DNA
Abstract:
Detergent soluble DNA from splenocytes of immunologically stimulated mice has been shown to incorporate [3H]dThd more rapidly than detergent insoluble DNA. In this report we compare the incorporation of other 3H-labeled nucleosides and 3H-labeled deoxynucleosides and the distribution of 3H in the different size classes of detergent soluble DNA. The order of incorporation into DS DNA is [3H]dThd greater than [3H]dCyd greater than [3H]Ado greater than [3H]dGuo approximately equal to [3H]Cyd greater than [3H]dAdo greater than [3H]Guo. We also show that the previously reported slight enrichment in Gua + Cyt content is not due to preferential incorporation of dGuo or of dCyd into any one size class.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
