A TC classification-based predictor for multiple myeloma using multiplexed real-time quantitative PCR

Multiplexed, real-time PCR for quantitative detection of human adenovirus.

Adenovirus infection is becoming increasingly recognized as a cause of morbidity and mortality in the immunosuppressed patient population. While early detection and quantitation of adenovirus in peripheral blood has been suggested as a means of directing and monitoring antiviral therapy in these patients, few methods have been published, particularly with respect to viral quantitation. A multip...

Quantitative Real-Time PCR

Unlike classical end-point analysis PCR, real-time PCR provides the data required for quantification of the target nucleic acid. The results can be expressed in absolute terms by reference to external quantified standards or in relative terms compared to another target sequence present within the sample. Absolute quantification requires that the efficiency of the amplification reaction is the s...

Real time quantitative PCR.

We have developed a novel "real time" quantitative PCR method. The method measures PCR product accumulation through a dual-labeled fluorogenic probe (i.e., TaqMan Probe). This method provides very accurate and reproducible quantitation of gene copies. Unlike other quantitative PCR methods, real-time PCR does not require post-PCR sample handling, preventing potential PCR product carry-over conta...

Real-time quantitative PCR.

Those who have worked in the field of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) since the early 1990s have accepted many of the tedious aspects of the early assays as routine. Difficulties associated with early quantitative PCR techniques included: (i) ensuring that the PCR was within the linear range of amplification (that portion where the PCR signal is directly proportional to the input c...
