pubmed:abstractText
Often tissues obtained from prostate adenocarcinoma tumors embedded in paraffin are heterogeneous in cell type and must be carefully microdissected to acquire tissue fragments that provide homogeneous aliquots of tumor clones. Such tissue fragments rarely contain sufficient DNA to perform genomic characterization needed as an early step in localizing relevant oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. We report that PCR using a degenerate oligonucleotide primer (DOP-PCR) can be applied to DNA samples from microdissected paraffin-embedded prostate adenocarcinomas, and this provides sufficient product for fluorescent allelic imbalance measurements or comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).
