Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
The real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) has become the method of choice for the quantification of specific mRNAs. This method is fast, extremely sensitive, and accurate, requires only very small amounts of input RNA, and is relatively simple to perform. These characteristics have made it the method of choice for minimal residual disease monitoring suc...
متن کاملQuantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay for mRNA levels of steroid 5alpha-reductase isozymes.
Many genes that play a major physiologic role present low levels of expression, whose characterization requires accurate quantitation methods of adequate sensitivity. The use of the reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) coupled to capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the analysis of steady-state messenger RNA levels has become increasingly widespread in recent years [1–5]. The ...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR).
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has become a well-established and powerful molecular technique for studying ribonucleic acids. It is used in medical diagnostics for detecting viral RNA, in hematology and oncology for detecting chimeric transcripts of rearranged genes (1), and in the broad area of research applications in gene expression studies. Since its introduction (...
متن کاملQuantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction measured expression of MDR1 and MRP in primary breast carcinoma.
To evaluate the clinical significance of drug resistance mechanisms in breast cancer, we examined the expression of MDR1 and MRP in primary breast carcinoma and normal adjacent tissue using a highly quantitative and reproducible reverse transcription-PCR assay. Expression of both genes was observed in all specimens examined, both tumor (n = 74) and normal adjacent tissue (n = 55). The expressio...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of neutralizing immune responses to human parvovirus B19 using a novel reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction-based assay.
Infection with human parvovirus B19 causes fifth disease, acute and chronic red cell aplasia, fetal hydrops, arthropathy, and other disorders. Antiviral antibodies limit B19 infection in vivo; however, the identification of serologic markers of protection has been hampered by the lack of a quantitative assay for parvovirus neutralization. A novel in vitro test for parvovirus neutralization has ...
