Cornu Cervi Pantoctricchum is a hairy, dried, non-ossific young horn of a stag on Cervus nippon Temminck or C. elaphus L (family Cervidae) and a popular crude drug used in Korea to reinforce the kidney-yang, to tonify the vital essence and blood, and to strengthen the bones and muscles.
The present study is designed to make a DNA marker for breed identification of Cornu Cervi Pantotricshum families and later to establish a gene discrimination.
In this experiment some genomic DNA were extracted fine from dried samples, most of them were extracted damaged a lot. In RFLP analysis using restriction enzyme Hinf I, Hae Ⅲ, Hha I and Msp I can be used to distinguish the breed of Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum. Therefore, these polymorphic bands by RFLP can be used in breed identification of deer and Cervi Cornu Pantoctrichum now in use.
