Genotyping of lean and obese Koletsky rats by PCR-RFLP analysis. Primers (5 -AGTGAATGCTGTGCAGTC-3 ; 5'-AAGGTTCTTCCATTCAAT-3') were used to amplify PCR products from 100 ng genomic DNA in a 50 uL reaction. The reaction profiles were as follows; denaturation at 94C for 30 s, annealing at 55C for 30 s, and extension at 72C for 30 s, for 30 cycles, All PCR products were digested with Tru9I, analysed by electrophoresis on a 5.0 % agarose gel (NuSieve 3:1 Agarose, Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd., Shiga, Japan), and stained with ethldium bromide. No Tru9l sites were found in the 121-bp PCR product amplified from genomic DNA derived from a wild-type lean Koletsky rat, and the PCR product was not cleaved with Tru9l (lane 1). A single Tru9l restriction site was present in the mutant allele, and Tru9I digestion of the genomic PCR products from obese Koletsky (fa/fa) rats resulted in two fragments of 82 bp and 39 bp in size (lanes 6-1 0). Tru9l digestion of the PCR products from heterozygous lean Koletsky (+/fa rats gave rise to three 121-bp,82-bp, and 39-bp fragments (lanes 2-5).
