Evaluation of a novel highly sensitive, broad-spectrum PCR-reverse hybridization assay for detection and identification of beta-papillomavirus DNA.
Human papillomavirus can be detected by amplification of viral DNA. A novel one-step PCR (PM-PCR) was evaluated for amplification of a 117-bp fragment from the E1 region. It permitted ultrasensitive detection of all 25 known human papillomavirus genotypes from the beta-papillomavirus genus. The intra- and intertypic sequence variations of the 77-bp interprimer region were studied. Genotype-spec...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Sensitive Quantitative Competitive PCR Assay for Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in immunocompromised patients has remained as a challenge. Quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) methods for detection of HCMV in these individuals have improved the positive and negative predictive values of PCR for diagnosis of HCMV disease. In this study we used QC-PCR assay, using a co-amplified DNA standard, to quantitate...
متن کاملDevelopment of a highly sensitive RT-PCR luminometric hybridization assay for human telomerase reverse-transcriptase beta-plus transcript.
BACKGROUND Telomerase is a general diagnostic and prognostic molecular tumor marker since it is expressed in the majority of human tumors in contrast to most healthy tissues. Alternate splicing of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) has been shown to affect telomerase activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS We have developed a hybridization assay that selectively detects the hTERT beta-plus...
متن کاملPCR optimization: Improving of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) PCR to Achieve a Highly Sensitive Detection Method
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a rapid and simple technique with high sensitivity and specificity. Inthe recent years, PCR has been used for rapid detection of viral nucleic acids, such as Humancytomegalovirus (HCMV), whereas, PCR optimization is an important task to be done, especially beforeit’s diagnostic application. Annealing temperature, ion concentration (especially...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of human papillomavirus DNA sequences in Italian breast cancer patients by PCR and line probe assay reverse hybridization.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is known to play a fundamental role in cervical and other ano-genital human cancers. The recent identification of HPVs in human breast tumors and the immortalization of normal breast cancer cells by HPV high risk types 16 and 18 suggest that the virus could be implicated in the pathogenesis of human mammary tumors. In this study, we investigated the presence...
