Objective To detect the genetic variant of melanoma cell B16 in C57 mice with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Methods Melanoma B16 cells were inoculated into C57 mice after being cultured for 3 to 4 passages. Genomic DNA from melanoma samples and corresponding normal tissue were digested with restriction endonuclease, ligated with specific adapter, and amplified with 20 primers. PCR products were electrophoretically separated in agarose gel and banding profiles were visualized with ethidium...
