SALSA MLPA ME001 Tumour suppressor mix detects copy number variations and methylation status of 25 tumour suppressor genes.
Contents: 45 MLPA probes, including 28 probes for tumour suppressor genes, of which all provide information on the methylation status.
Tissue: human genomic DNA, including DNA from FFPE tissue.
Application: research on cancer.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
This product is for basic research and intended for experienced users only! Interpretation of results may be complicated, and MRC Holland may only be able to provide basic support.
The SALSA MS-MLPA Probemix ME001 Tumour suppressor mix is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of aberrant methylation of one or more sequences of 25 tumour suppressor genes (TSG). This probemix can also be used to detect deletions/duplications in these TSGs in a DNA sample.
CpG-islands are located in or near the promoter region or other regulatory regions of approximately 50% of human genes. Aberrant methylation of CpG-islands has been shown to be associated with transcriptional inactivation of genes in a wide spectrum of human cancers. These TSGs are frequently silenced by methylation in tumours, but are unmethylated in blood-derived DNA. In addition, DNA methylation analysis can indicate in some cases from which type of tissue the tumour was derived.
SALSA MLPA Probemix ME001 Tumour suppressor mix is for research use only (RUO) in all territories.
A general SALSA MLPA Reagent Kit and SALSA HhaI are required for MS-MLPA experiments (to be ordered separately).

Inclusion of a positive sample is usually not required, but can be useful for the analysis of your experiments. MRC Holland has very limited access to positive samples and cannot supply such samples. We recommend using positive samples from your own collection. Alternatively, you can use positive samples from an online biorepository, such as the Coriell Institute.
See this support article for commercially available positive samples that can be used with this product.
