Detection of tumor cell contamination in peripheral blood by RT-PCR in gastrointestinal cancer patients.
We analyzed the peripheral blood of patients with gastrointestinal tract cancer at different stages to assess the presence of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which we used as an indicator for micrometastatic malignant cells. A total of 35 gastric, 24 colorectal, 4 esophageal and 4 biliary tract cancer patients and nine normal heal...
متن کاملDetection of EWS chimeric transcripts by nested RT-PCR to allow reinfusion of uncontaminated peripheral blood stem cells in high-risk Ewing's tumor in childhood.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Ewing's tumors (ET) are primary malignancies of bone and soft tissues characterized in at least 96% of cases by specific fusion transcripts originating from recurrent chromosomal translocations. Clinical protocols for high-risk metastatic ETs include high-dose radiation/chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) reinfusion. We used nested reve...
متن کاملQuantification of breast cancer cells in peripheral blood samples by real-time rt-PCR.
BACKGROUND Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are cells that have detached from a primary tumour, circulate in the peripheral blood, and are considered to be the main root of distant metastases. We present a method for the detection of CTCs by real-time PCR on different cytokeratin markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples of a healthy donor were mixed with specific numbers of cells from diff...
متن کاملDetection of Malignant Cells in Pleural Fluid or Ascites by CD44v8-10/CD44v10 competitive RT-PCR
BACKGROUND CD44 is a cell surface adhesion molecule which has been implicated in various biologic functions as lymphocyte homing and activation, cellular migration and extracellular matrix adhesion. Over-expression of CD44v8-10 has been found in several cancers and is considered to be associated with tumor progression and metastasis. Recently, a novel molecular method, CD44v8-10/CD44v10 competi...
متن کاملDetection of the phytoplasmal agent of pear decline in Iran, Isfahan province, using nested-PCR
Pear decline is a very important phytoplasma disease that causes considerable quantitative and qualitative losses to this fruit crop. Due to economical importance of pear in Isfahan province, Iran, and the difficulty to determine the occurrence of the disease simply based on symptoms in orchards, a detection method for the phytoplasma causing disease in pears in the region was developed. Since ...
