Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.

چکیده
The real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) has become the method of choice for the quantification of specific mRNAs. This method is fast, extremely sensitive, and accurate, requires only very small amounts of input RNA, and is relatively simple to perform. These characteristics have made it the method of choice for minimal residual disease monitoring such as in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). CML comprises approximately 20% of all leukemias and is characterized by a balanced (9;22) chromosomal translocation that results in the formation of a chimeric gene comprised of the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene and the ABL oncogene (BCR-ABL fusion gene). The chimeric gene encodes a fusion protein with constitutively increased tyrosine kinase activity, resulting in growth factor-independent proliferation. This kinase is the target for current CML therapy, and BCR-ABL fusion gene levels are monitored to determine the effectiveness of this therapy. This chapter uses BCR-ABL transcript detection to illustrate an example for the RQ-PCR and describes a RQ-PCR method to detect the most common form of the BCR-ABL fusion transcript in CML, known as p210 BCR-ABL.

P53 یکی از شناختهشدهترین ژنهای بازدارندهی تومور است که در برابر آسیبهای وارده به DNA فعال میشود و هدف مهمی برای تحقیقات شناخته میشود. به دلیل اینکه تاکنون هیچ تحقیق و پژوهشی در مورد ژن P53 در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان مری با تکنیک Real-time PCR در ایران انجام نگرفته است، ضرورت انجام...
متن کاملApplication of Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
The real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), also called quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) or kinetic polymerase chain reaction (kPCR), is a technique used to simultaneously quantify and amplify a DNA molecule. It is used to determine whether a specific DNA sequence is present in the sample; and if it is present, the number of copies in the sample. It is the real-t...

Avian influenza viruses (AIV) affect a wide range of birds and mammals, cause severe economic damage to the poultry industry, and pose a serious threat to humans. Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAI) H5N1 were first identified in Southeast Asia in 1996 and spread to four continents over the following years. The viruses have caused high mortality in chickens and various bird species ...

A novel approach to quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (QC RT-PCR) using real time detection and the 5' nuclease assay has been developed. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane transductance regulator (CFTR) target mRNA is reverse transcribed, amplified, detected, and quantitated in real time. A fluorogenic probe was designed to detect the CFTR amplicon. Relative increase in 6...
متن کاملMeasurement of cytochrome P450 gene induction in human hepatocytes using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
Drug-induced changes in expression of cytochrome (CYP) P450 genes are a key cause of drug-drug interactions. Consequently, preclinical prediction of these changes by novel compounds is an integral component of drug development. To date, in vitro models of CYP induction have used mRNA measurement, immunodetection, and substrate metabolism as reporters. Here, we describe the application of quanti...
