Abstract: We detected residual host DNA in yeast expressing biotech drugs by SYBR GreenⅠ fluorescent based real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The detection sensitivity of this method was up to 1.0 fg/μL. The linear correlation coefficient of standard curve was above 0.99 when DNA concentration was bwtween 1.0 fg/μL to 1.0 ng/μL. Three batch of samples was determined, and the residual host DNA were 8.635×105 fg/μL、6.265×102 fg/μL and 1.436  fg/μL respectively. The results suggested that this easy-handled, rapid and highly sensitive method could be used for the determination of residual yeast DNA in biotech drug products.
