چکیده
introduction: htlv-1 , the first known human retrovirus belongs to oncovirus subfamily of retroviruses. the major characteristic of htlv-1 is its highly restricted geographic prevalence. northern part of khorasan is an endemic region of htlv-1 infection. epidemiological studies can help in designing preventive programs for htlv-1 infection. the aim of this study was the establishment of a pcr technique for determination of htlv-1 infection in paraffin-embedded tissues. methods: in this experimental laboratory study for establishment of a technique, pcr was initially optimized using beta-actin primers on various formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from liver, spleen, skin and lymph nodes. the optimized concentration of mgcl2 was 2mm, primer was 8 pmol. optimized concentration of dna was different according to the kind of tissue. htlv-1 infection was determined by applying tax, pol, env and ltr primers on 50 paraffin-embedded lymph node tissues . the reporoducibility of this technique was shown for skin and lymph node tissues infected with htlv-1. resuls: in 50 lymph node tissues, one case with pathologic diagnosis of nhl was positive with all 5 sets of primers (tax, pol, env and ltr primers) and the other case was positive with only two sets of tax primers but was negative with pol, env and ltr primers. the prevalence of infection was 2% among lymph node specimens. (1 of 50 specimens ) and if the second case is considered, the prevalence would be 4%. conclusion: comparison of the results of this study with another study on blood specimens (seroprevalence2.3%) was not statistically significant thus confirming the results of one another. (p=0.883)

متن کاملAn Efficient Method For DNA Extraction From Paraffin Wax Embedded Tissues For PCR Amplification Of Human And Viral DNA
Background and Objective: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are a valuable source of DNA for molecular studies. We designed and optimized an efficient procedure for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Materials and Methods: Seventy three blocks of cervical paraffin-embedded tissues were investigated. DNA was extracted using 45 minutes boiling in alkaline sol...
متن کاملA rapid RT-PCR method for detection of intact RNA in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.
The molecular analysis of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues has application in both investigative studies and clinical practice (1). It is now possible to analyze gene expression in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues by in situ reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (in situ RT-PCR) (2). Degradation of RNA, however, can occur at various stages of tissue preparation...

AIM To develop a simple but reliable polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to determine the HIV-1 status of patients on formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded lymph node tissue. METHODS Fifty lymph node specimens, 20 from HIV-1 seropositive and 30 from HIV-1 seronegative patients, were analysed. Lymph nodes with a variety of disease conditions were included in the study. Tissue sections were ...

15 صفحه اولComparison of histologic stains for use in PCR analysis of microdissected, paraffin-embedded tissues.
We evaluated the effect of six different histologic stains on the productivity of PCR amplification of DNA isolated from paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The tissue was collected from glass slides by microdissection techniques, whereby tiny portions of tissue are visually identified through a microscope and selectively resected for subsequent DNA extraction and PCR amplification. We found that...
