A rapid isolation method permits the isolation of DNAs, RNAs and transcription
factors simultaneously from a wide range of lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells, either
from patients or in culture, without the loss of biological activity. A significant
advantage of this method is that it entails minimal handling of samples from the
patients with various disease states and pathogenic conditions such as AIDS, hepatitis,
and other infectious diseases, which require substantial precautions during isolation
of DNAs and proteins.
