Abstract:
1. A process for assaying a sample of unknown content to determine the presence of bovine-source material in the sample, said process comprising the steps of: (1) extracting a DNA sample from the sample to be assayed; (2) adding to the DNA sample a primer pair, said primer pair comprising: the sequence of 5′ TTTCTTGTTATAGCCCACCACAC 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1); and the sequence of 5′ TTTCTCTAAAGGTGGTTGGTCAG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 2), whereby a pre-PCR mixture is provided; (3) carrying out a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the pre-PCR mixture, whereby an amplified DNA product results; and (4) determining the presence in the amplified DNA product of a predetermined amplicon representative of 1.711B bovine repeat.
