DNA Methylation sites in c-Fos promoter

Normal Rat Liver, From Shimizu et al., Cancer Sci 2007; 98: 1318–1322


Approximate MW:

38,337 daltons (unmethylated)

38,252 daltons (methylated)

each methylation site causes 15 dalton decrease in MW 

Rat c-fos Primers used by Alcala and Houpt

Forward:

Reverse:

Product size:

PCR conditions for use with HotStarTaq mix (progam CFOSGENO on thermocycler)

95° for 15 min to activate Taq

Repeat 35 times:

94° for 1 min
59° for 1 min
72° for 1 min
72° for 10 min final extension

4° for overnight
