Surveillance of cytomegalovirus after solid-organ transplantation: comparison of pp65 antigenemia assay with a quantitative DNA hybridization assay.
In a multicenter study, 113 blood samples from 19 organ transplant patients were analyzed for cytomegalovirus by the pp65 antigenemia assay and a quantitative DNA hybridization assay. Overall, there was 84% agreement among the results obtained by the two tests. Fifteen of 16 episodes of active infection were detected by both assays. One episode was missed by the pp65 assay, and one patient show...
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 کاملSpecificity of Hybridization Between DNA Sequences Based on Free Energy
We investigated the specificity of hybridization based on a minimum free energy (∆Gmin) through gel electrophoresis analysis. The analysis, using 94 pairs of sequences with length 20, showed that sequences that hybridize each other can be separated using the constraint ∆Gmin ≤ −14.0, but cannot be separated using the number of base pairs (BP ) in the range from 9 to 18. This demonstrates that t...
متن کاملA Global Personal Energy Meter
Abstract. Every day each of us consumes a significant amount of energy, both directly through transportation, heating and use of appliances, and indirectly from our needs for the production of food, manufacture of goods and provision of services. I envisage a personal energy meter which can record and apportion an individual’s energy usage in order to provide baseline information and incentives...
متن کاملAutonomous Wireless Heat Energy Meter based on Piezoelectric Energy Harvester for Heat Energy Measurement in Building Complexes
This paper presents a platform for power autonomous wireless energy meter device using piezoelectric energy harvesters. This device can be mainly used for measuring the share of heat energy consumption in a fair manner in building complex with central heat energy system. In the suggested device, the piezoelectric energy harvester is also used as a flow-meter to reduce the power consumption of t...
