Abstract
A method of extracting telomerase from a cell sample having telomerase is provided which includes the step of contacting a cell sample with a buffer having (i) a non-ionic detergent at a concentration of not more than 5% (v/v) and (ii) an ionic detergent at a concentration of not more than 1 mM, to form a cell lysate. The method provides efficient extraction of telomerase that can be assayed for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.
