PCR/RFLP Assay for Copy Number of Mutant and Wild-Type Alleles

A PCR method for quantitating the copy number of mutant vs. wild-type alleles in DNA from cell lines is described. The assay can be used to detect a point mutation in any gene that creates or destroys a restriction site. The alleles of interest are amplified by nested PCR and labeled in a second rou...
