Abstract: In order to test the possibility of quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) in the measurement of bovine telomere length, we chose 18 different DNA samples of bovine ear fibroblast, and then analyzed the relativity of quantitative PCR and Southern blotting methods. The results showed that the relative T/S ratio of Q-PCR was 1.16±0.24, the mean TRF of Southern blotting was 16.99 kb±0.85 kb.The analysis of the relativity of two methods showed that R2= 0.5612(P<0.01), so we got the conclusion that Q-PCR was a reliable method in the measurement of bovine telomere length.

Key words: quantitative PCR; Southern blotting; bovine somatic cell; telomere length
