Real-time quantitative RT-PCR detection of circulating tumor cells from breast cancer patients.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were recognized as novel tumor biomarker for prognostic and predictive purposes in various cancers. Various detection technologies and devices have been developed to enumerate and characterize CTCs. Most of those approaches are based on the positive enrichment strategy and immunocytological techniques. However, the sensitivity of these approaches proved to be limi...
متن کاملA novel method for real time quantitative RT-PCR.
A novel approach to quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (QC RT-PCR) using real time detection and the 5' nuclease assay has been developed. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane transductance regulator (CFTR) target mRNA is reverse transcribed, amplified, detected, and quantitated in real time. A fluorogenic probe was designed to detect the CFTR amplicon. Relative increase in 6...
متن کاملREVIEW Quantitative real-time RT-PCR – a perspective
The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) uses fluorescent reporter molecules to monitor the production of amplification products during each cycle of the PCR reaction. This combines the nucleic acid amplification and detection steps into one homogeneous assay and obviates the need for gel electrophoresis to detect amplification products. Use of appropriate chemistr...
متن کاملQuantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis of eight novel estrogen-regulated genes in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Biological markers capable of predicting the risk of recurrence and the response to treatment in breast cancer are eagerly awaited. Estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER, PgR) in tumor cells mark cancers that are more likely to respond to endocrine treatment, but up to 40% of such patients do not respond. Here, the expression of a group of estrogen-regulated genes, previously ident...
متن کاملImproved Real-Time RT-PCR Assays of Two Colorectal Cancer Peripheral Blood mRNA Biomarkers: A Pilot Study
Background: Efficient screening for detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) at earlier stages reduces its mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA in peripheral blood of CRC patients and to present strategies for early detection screen test. Methods: Twenty seven patients in non-meta...
