Influence of DNA target melting behavior on real-time PCR quantification.
BACKGROUND Quantitative real-time PCR is increasingly used to quantify copy numbers of nucleic acids for clinical applications. We observed that the measurements of allele imbalances of the tumor suppressor gene p16 and the oncogene ErbB-2 yielded results with variable precision under certain experimental conditions. METHODS We used the LightCycler(TM) real-time PCR system to quantify differe...
متن کاملQuantification and Optimization of Candida albicans DNA in Blood Samples Using Real- Time PCR
Background: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a major cause of candidaemia in people with impaired immunity. Blood culture is a “gold standard” for candidaemia detection but is time-consuming and relatively insensitive. We established a real-time PCR assay for C. albicans detection in blood by LightCycler PCR and melting curve analysis. Methods: Five milliliter blood samples from...
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 کاملHandheld energy-efficient magneto-optical real-time quantitative PCR device for target DNA enrichment and quantification
A PCR provides not only valuable genetic information that enables precise differential disease diagnosis but also quantitative data to assess various clinical states. We report the successful integration of novel dual-mode magnetic Fe3O4 nanoclusters that deliver photothermal conversion. The clusters can be excited with pulsed laser light for precision thermal cycle modulation to develop an ult...
متن کاملDNA quantification using EvaGreen and a real-time PCR instrument.
DNA quantiWcation is an important, frequently used technique, and inaccuracies can result in failures with ligation, restriction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR),1 ampliWed fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), Southern blotting, and other techniques. DNA is most commonly quantiWed using absorbance at 260 nm, but because of the existence of many impurities, this can be an imprecise measurement a...
