N2 - The use of chelating resin in a simple, rapid and efficient pre-treatment protocol to process formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described and compared to other pre-treatment techniques. With this modified PCR protocol, a variety of human autopsy and biopsy specimens were investigated for presence of DNA of human papilomaviruses, cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus. These viruses were detected in a productive or non-/low-productive state. Amplimers generated ranged from 88 to 450 base pairs length. Under the specified technical conditions, a considerable range of DNA molecules can be amplified from paraffin-embedded material, some older than 10 years.
