Cytokine mRNA quantification by real-time PCR.
Real-time PCR represents a new methodology that accurately quantifies nucleic acids. This has been made possible by the use of fluorogenic probes, which are presented in two forms, namely hydrolysis probes (also called TaqMan probes) and hybridisation probes. We decided to apply this methodology to cytokine mRNA quantification and this led us to the development of a protocol that provides an ea...
متن کاملHighly sensitive quantification of human cells in chimeric NOD/SCID mice by real-time PCR.
We recently presented a real-time duplex PCR method to determine the amount of human cells in chimeric mice. Although this assay was suitable for the quantitative detection of 1% of human cells in the background of murine cells in tissue, blood and bone marrow of chimeric mice, there is legitimate interest in detecting even lower amounts of human cells in these animals reliably. Therefore, we d...
متن کاملCoinfection of Human Herpesviruses 6A (HHV-6A) and HHV-6B as Demonstrated by Novel Digital Droplet PCR Assay
The human herpesviruses HHV-6A and HHV-6B have been associated with various neurologic disorders partly due to the detection of elevated viral DNA levels in patients compared to controls. However the reported frequency of these viruses varies widely, likely reflecting differences in PCR methodologies used for detection. Digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) is a third generation PCR technology that enabl...
متن کاملQuantification of human cytomegalovirus DNA by real-time PCR.
A quantitative real-time PCR assay was developed to measure human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA load in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs). The HCMV DNA load in PBLs was normalized by means of the quantification of a cellular gene (albumin). The results of the real-time PCR assay correlated with those of the HCMV pp65-antigenemia assay (P < 0.0001).
متن کاملReal-time quantification of microRNAs by stem–loop RT–PCR
A novel microRNA (miRNA) quantification method has been developed using stem-loop RT followed by TaqMan PCR analysis. Stem-loop RT primers are better than conventional ones in terms of RT efficiency and specificity. TaqMan miRNA assays are specific for mature miRNAs and discriminate among related miRNAs that differ by as little as one nucleotide. Furthermore, they are not affected by genomic DN...
