SALSA MLPA Probemix P252 NB mix 2 detects copy number variations in several regions on chromosomes 2 and 17 related to neuroblastoma.
Contents: 49 MLPA probes, including 34 probes for chromosomes 2 (including the MYCN region and 2q33) and 17 (17p and 17q).
Tissue: human genomic DNA, including DNA from FFPE tissue.
Application: research on neuroblastoma (NB).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
P252 NB mix 2 is shipped together with a vial of CM002 competitor mix that can be used to reduce the signal of MYCN region probes in samples with very high levels of MYCN amplification. See the product description for details and usage instructions.
SALSA MLPA Probemixes P251/P252/P253 NB mix 1, 2 & 3 are research use only (RUO) assays for copy number determination of several chromosomal regions that frequently show copy number changes in neuroblastoma tumours.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a relatively common paediatric cancer that usually occurs sporadically and frequently originates from one of the adrenal glands. NB is characterized by striking clinical heterogeneity, including cases that show spontaneous tumour regression. NB accounts up to 10% of all paediatric cancers. Several acquired genetic alterations such as amplification of the MYCN oncogene, deletions of chromosome bands 1p36 and 11q23 and unbalanced gains of 17q regions have been well-characterized and show correlation with tumour behaviour, including response to treatment. For review please see e.g. Ambros et al. (2009) and Ahmed et al. (2017).
SALSA MLPA Probemix P252 NB mix 2 is for research use only (RUO) in all territories.
A general SALSA MLPA Reagent Kit is required for 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.
The commercially available positive samples below can be used with the current (D1) version of this product.
