Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assay Using TaqMan Probes for the Identification of Trypanosoma cruzi DTUs in Biological and Clinical Samples
BACKGROUND Trypanosoma cruzi has been classified into six Discrete Typing Units (DTUs), designated as TcI-TcVI. In order to effectively use this standardized nomenclature, a reproducible genotyping strategy is imperative. Several typing schemes have been developed with variable levels of complexity, selectivity and analytical sensitivity. Most of them can be only applied to cultured stocks. In ...
متن کاملAnalytical Performance of a Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assay Using TaqMan Probes for Quantification of Trypanosoma cruzi Satellite DNA in Blood Samples
BACKGROUND The analytical validation of sensitive, accurate and standardized Real-Time PCR methods for Trypanosoma cruzi quantification is crucial to provide a reliable laboratory tool for diagnosis of recent infections as well as for monitoring treatment efficacy. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We have standardized and validated a multiplex Real-Time quantitative PCR assay (qPCR) based on TaqMan...
متن کاملDesign of FRET-TaqMan probes for multiplex real-time PCR using an internal positive control.
The multiplexing capabilities with different fluorescent dyes are limited in real-time PCR instruments equipped with one excitation source. Considering this limitation, a design was developed to create a triple-labeled probe as an internal positive control (IPC) that utilizes a combination of the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and TaqMan techniques. The IPC probe, labeled with FA...
متن کاملAsymmetric real-time PCR and multiplex melting curve analysis with TaqMan probes for detecting PIK3CA mutations
The data in this article are related to the research article entitled "Optimization of melting analysis with TaqMan probes for detection of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations" Botezatu et al. [1]. Somatic mutations in the PIK3CA gene ("hot spots" in exons 9 and 20) are found in many human cancers, and their presence can determine prognosis and a treatment strategy. An effective method of mutation s...
متن کاملRapid quantitative detection of chytridiomycosis (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) in amphibian samples using real-time Taqman PCR assay.
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a major pathogen of frogs worldwide, associated with declines in amphibian populations. Diagnosis of chytridiomycosis to date has largely relied upon histological and immunohistochemical examination of toe clips. This technique is invasive and insensitive particularly at early stages of infection when treatment may be possible. We have developed a real-time PCR...
