Diagnostic and investigative molecular pathology frequently has to resort to extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Although many different protocols are reported for this type of material, extraction of sufficient amounts of intact DNA is still challenging. Here, the authors report a reproducible, simple, cost-effective, and efficient protocol that yields up to 140 μg of DNA from approximately 10 to 15 mg of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue…

Nucleic acids extracted from paraffin blocks were degraded, even at lower fixation times, and archived tissues showed a poorer amplification, suggesting a gold standard protocol for DNA/RNA isolation from canine tumor FFPE blocks for molecular investigations is still troublesome.

Comparison of various methods for DNA extraction from human isolated paraffin-embedded hydatid cyst samples

This simple and high throughput DNA extraction method with high yield and quality can be recommended for extraction of DNA from formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded hydatid cysts.

High quality DNA obtained with an automated DNA extraction method with 70+ year old formalin-fixed celloidin-embedded (FFCE) blocks from the indiana medical history museum.

The results show that usable DNA can be extracted from tissue fixed in formalin and embedded in celloidin or paraffin from the early 1900's to present, and may be amplified through PCR and used for clinical and experimental studies.

A protocol for good quality genomic DNA isolation from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues without using commercial kits

A new protocol (IARCp) to improve the quality and yield of DNA from FFPE tissues without using any commercial kit is developed, which results in good quality and significant amounts of DNA suitable for many downstream genome-wide and targeted molecular analyses.

Low-grade and subcutaneous MCTs were less likely to amplify directly after DNA extraction and without any washing steps compared to high-grade M CTs using KIT gene primers, and DNA concentration and quality either pre- or post-washing were not associated with ability of the samples to be amplified by PCR using both HPRT and KIT primer sets.

Validation of DNA methylation profiling in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded colon and breast tissue using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 Microarray

The usability of Illumina’s DNA restoration protocol is examined to allow for routinely analysis of formalin-fixed tissue specimens with the Infinium HumanMethylation450 technology, and good correlation between matched FF and FFPE DNA-restored tissue specimens is showed.

Detection of Fowl Adenovirus DNA from Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Sections by PCR and Classification of Serotypes by Sequencing of PCR Products

PCR and sequencing of PCR products of the liver FFPE sections suggested that the detected FAV was serotype 8a, which is useful for diagnosis and epidemiologic analysis of FAV infections.

Weigners Fixative–An Alternative to Formalin Fixation for Histology With Improved Preservation of Nucleic Acids

Weigners fixative is a nonhazardous alternative to formalin, which provides a good morphologic preservation of most organs, a similar sensitivity for protein detection, and a superior preservation of nucleic acids, and may be a promising alternative to cryopreservation.

Nested-PCR for the detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in bronchial alveolar swabs , frozen tissues and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded swine lung samples : Comparative evaluation with immunohistochemical findings and histological features 1

Comparison of different sample conservation methods indicated that it is possible to detect M. hyopneumoniae from FFPE tissue from swine bred in herds with respiratory disease.
