Sensitivity and Specificity of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Method for Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Abstract Background and Objective: Culture, microscopic method is a gold standard method for identification of Lishmania parasite. The use of Molecular methods such as RT- PCR compared to microscopic methods has a higher sensitivity and specificity however, it is not widely used due to its expensive equipment and the time requested. The use of nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) and Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Coxsackievirus B3 in Cell Culture and Animal Tissue Samples
Enteroviruses are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. Group B coxsackieviruses are believed to be the most common viral agents responsible for human heart disease. Genomic data of enteroviruses has allowed developing new molecular approaches such as Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) for detection of such viruses. In this study, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was de...
متن کاملInhibition and facilitation of nucleic acid amplification.
Factors that inhibit the amplification of nucleic acids by PCR are present with target DNAs from many sources. The inhibitors generally act at one or more of three essential points in the reaction in the following ways: they interfere with the cell lysis necessary for extraction of DNA, they interfere by nucleic acid degradation or capture, and they inhibit polymerase activity for amplification...
متن کاملDNA nucleic acid sequence-based amplification-based genotyping for polymorphism analysis.
Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) is a sensitive isothermal transcription-based amplification method known to be a suitable tool for RNA research. We demonstrate that NASBA technology can be applied to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis using human genomic DNA as a template. Combination of DNA NASBA with multiplex hybridization of specific molecular beacons makes it p...
متن کاملMolecular beacons: nucleic acid hybridization and emerging applications.
Molecular beacons (MBs) are a novel class of nucleic acid probes that become fluorescent when bound to a complementary sequence. Because of this characteristic, coupled with the sequence specificity of nucleic acid hybridization and the sensitivity of fluorescence techniques, MBs are very useful probes for a variety of applications requiring the detection of DNA or RNA. We survey various applic...
