What is the average amount of DNA and RNA present in 1 ml normal serum?
According to an Interview with Professor Dennis Lo published in QIAGEN News Molecular Diagnostics, Issue No. 5, 2002, healthy individuals have about 500-1000 genome equivalents (DNA) per ml serum/plasma.
For free-circulating DNA in plasma, the concentration can range from 1–100 ng/ml in healthy individuals.
