2 Figure 1 Detection of vimentin methylation in fecal DNA analyzed by VIM-29 PCR primers. Amplification of fecal DNA from 9 normal (n) and 5 colon cancer (c) patients. Upper panel (VIM-29M) shows vimentin gene methylation and the lower panel (VIM-29U) shows control wild-type amplification of unmethylated vimentin sequences derived from normal cells in all samples. Positive (+) vimentin methylation is noted next to the sample identification number. Assay controls include unmethylated (u) and methylated (m) DNA samples, and negative water blank (deionized water).
