METHOD FOR REDUCING INHIBITORS OF NUCLEIC ACID HYBRIDIZATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for reducing the amount of substan ces inhibitory to nucleic acid hybridization in samples. The method is practiced prior to release of target nucleic acid from cells of interest and involves contacting the sampl e with an agent which solubilizes the inhibitory substances and does not effectuate release of nucleic acids from cells in the sample, and then the cells from the agent
