Zusammenfassung: | Leucocytes can be quickly and selectively separated from erythrocytes by subjecting a whole blood sample to a series of steps including lysing the erythrocytes and washing the remaining leucocytes with a solution containing ammonium chloride and a carboxylic acid or a metal carboxylate. The resulting white blood cells can be readily lysed and subjected to polymerase chain reaction to amplify and detect a target nucleic acid. The test kit useful in practicing the amplification method includes a labeled primer, a PCR reagent and a reagent mixture containing ammonium chloride and a carboxylic acid or a metai carboxylate for sample preparation. |
