Quantitative molecular virology in patient management.
The detection of viral genome (that is, viral nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA) has gained enormous importance over the last decade in the diagnosis and management of viral infections and diseases (table 1). Nucleic acid testing (NAT) has proven its superiority over more conventional laboratory techniques in several areas, for example: + for viruses that cannot be cultured in conventional cell c...
متن کاملQuantitative PCR and RT-PCR in virology.
I n the last few years, molecular hybridization methods have been used extensively in basic and applied virology because of their technical flexibility and high specificity. Using these techniques, the detection of DNA and RNA viruses directly from clinical specimens, the analysis of the specific transcriptional activity of viral genes in vitro and in vivo, and the study of virus-host relations...
متن کاملVirology and Molecular Medicine Session
Mutational activation of cytokine receptors has been described in solid cancers but has not been generally known to drive acute leukemia. We have recently described a subgroup of acute lymphoblastic leukemia characterized by an aberrant expression of the receptor to the cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). This receptor is a heterodimer of CRLF2 and IL7RA. In addition to its aberrant e...
متن کاملTotal quality management in clinical virology laboratories.
The diagnostic laboratories in India are progressively promoting higher standards and are moving towards accreditation and international acceptance. Hence, the concept of "Quality" will need to be understood and implemented. Total quality management (TQM) in a laboratory is an integrated program involving all laboratory staff and management. TQM is a framework to operate and it is aiming for in...
متن کاملAre three generations of quantitative molecular methods sufficient in medical virology? Brief review.
In the last two decades, development of quantitative molecular methods has characterized the evolution of clinical virology more than any other methodological advancement. Using these methods, a great deal of studies has addressed efficiently in vivo the role of viral load, viral replication activity, and viral transcriptional profiles as correlates of disease outcome and progression, and has h...
