چکیده
PCR depends on generation of a deoxyoligonucleotide complementary to the known 3' terminus of the portion of DNA to be amplified. This is then annealed with the appropriate strand of heat-denatured DNA and used as a primer for synthesis by a DNA polymerase of a full-length complementary strand (Fig. 1). The two strands are then separated by heat denaturation and the process repeated. However, included within the incubation mixture is a second primer capable of hybridizing to the 3' end of the complementary strand of DNA. Thus, during cycles of denaturation, annealing and DNA extension, both the forward and reverse strands of the initial template DNA can act as templates for synthesis of new complementary strands. Since at the end of a cycle, each of the original complementary strands has generated its own complement, each

Comparison of fine needle aspiration and direct skin smear in the diagnosis of acute cutaneous leishmaniasis: polymerase chain reaction as a reference method
Background: Accurate diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis wouldavoid unnecessary treatment and scar formation. Direct smear isthe most common method for the diagnosis of this disease but itsnegative result could not rule out the infection; so, the need formore sensitive methods is obvious. We conducted this study tocompare the efficiency of direct skin smear with smears preparedby fine needle a...

Background: Anogenital wart is a common sexually transmitted disease affecting both genders. The aim of this study was to evaluate human papilloma virus types of anogenital warts with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Method: 65 formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks of the anogenital warts obtained from the pathology lab of Loghman Hakim hospital were included in this study. Resu...
