SPERM CELL ISOLATION AND SPERM-ASSOCIATED DNA PURIFICATION

摘要

Provided herein are methods, reagents, and kits for the isolation of sperm cells from other cell types and the purification of sperm-associated DNA from a complex sample. In particular, methods, reagents, and kits are provided for the separation of intact sperm cells from epithelial cells via binding of sperm cells to a cellulose material, and the extraction of sperm-associated DNA therefrom.
