DNA was isolated from the samples as previously described by Verweij et al. (2009) (link) for isolating DNA from faecal samples thought to contain Strongyloides larvae. Briefly, approximately 200 μg faeces or proglottid sample were first washed several times in distilled water to remove the formalin, then suspended in 200 μl of PBS containing 2% polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP; Sigma, Steinheim, Germany) and heated for 10 min at 100 °C. This was followed by incubation with sodium-dodecyl sulphate-proteinase K (2 h at 55 °C), before DNA was isolated using the QIAamp Tissue Kit spin columns (QIAgen, Hilden, Germany). DNA was eluted into 200 μl molecular-grade water and stored at −20 °C before use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
