real time pcr: principles and application

Selection of suitable reference genes for real-time PCR studies of early developmental stages of sturgeons

In quantitative real-time PCR, the mRNA level can be quantified in relative terms based on the expression ratio of mRNAs of the target gene and an internal reference gene. Since, an internal standard should be expressed at a constant level among different tissues of an organism at all stages of development, and should be unaffected by the experimental treatment, the stability of different refer...

Advances in real-time PCR: application to clinical laboratory diagnostics.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become one of the most important tools in molecular diagnostics, providing exquisite sensitivity and specificity for detection of nucleic acid targets. Real-time monitoring of PCR has simplified and accelerated PCR laboratory procedures and has increased information obtained from specimens including routine quantification and differentiation of amplificat...

Application of Rapid and Sensitive Real Time PCR Technique in Detection of DNA Impurities in Recombinant Interferon

 Background & Objective: Interferon belongs to a family of cytokines, which has the most important role in the innate immune response to virus infections. While producing recombinant interferon in biological host, some pieces of host nucleic acids remain in product. Because of limitations in previous techniques for detection of these impurities, the objective of this study is to use rapid ...

Real-time PCR: what relevance to plant studies?

The appearance of genetically modified organisms on the food market a few years ago, and the demand for more precise and reliable techniques to detect foreign (transgenic or pathogenic) DNA in edible plants, have been the driving force for the introduction of real-time PCR techniques in plant research. This was followed by numerous fundamental research applications aiming to study the expressio...
