Figure 3.
Quantitative detection of methylation status of PAX1 gene by novel methods.
Notes: (A) Curve fitting between methylated DNA rate and absorbance ratio A650/A520. (B) Changes of UV–vis spectra of AuNPs with different percentages of methylated DNA and unmethylated DNAs within 6 mins. (C) Six minutes after the addition of NaCl, the color of AuNPs colloid solution for various percentages of mixed PAX1m+.
Abbreviations: AuNPs, gold nanoparticles; UV-vis, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry.
