Abstract [en]
We present a method for long-term single cell/clone cultivation followed by cell lysis, DNA amplification and detection of PCR product in a chip containing 672 individual microwells. By performing all steps on-chip in microwells, the proliferation and cell morphology of every single cell or clone can be linked to its genetic information. In this study two mammalian cell lines (mutated A431 vs. wild type U-2 OS) were used as a model system for mutation screening in the p53 gene. The presented method could improve the sensitivity in mutation frequency analysis of heterogeneous tumor samples.
