Development of New Modified Simple Polymerase Chain Reaction and Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Identification of Iranian Brucella abortus Strains

Brucellosis is primarily a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. The genus Brucella contains highly infectious species that are classified as biological threat agents. In this regard, the identification of Brucella can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process posing a real risk of laboratory-acquired infection to the laboratory staff. This stud...

Detection of Nocardia Asteroides Complex in Clinical Isolates by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction

Background and Aims: Nocardia asteroides complex is the most common cause of infectious diseases due to nocardiosis. Interspecies differentiation of Nocardia genera is essential for prognosis and timely proper treatment, as well as for epidemiological studies. Since each genus has its own antibiotic resistance, precise careful diagnosis is of prime importance. As compared to biochemical and phe...

Fetal RHD Genotyping Using Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Analysis of Cell-Free Fetal DNA in Pregnancy of RhD Negative Women in South of Iran

Objective Maternal-fetal RhD antigen incompatibility causes approximately 50% of clinically significant alloimmunization cases. The routine use of prophylactic anti-D immunoglobulin has dramatically reduced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. Recently, fetal RHD genotyping in RhD negative pregnant women has been suggested for appropriate use of anti-D immunoglobulin antenatal prophylaxi...

بررسی بیان ژن P53 در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان مری با استفاده از روش Reverse transcriptase real time polymerase chain reaction

چکیده سابقه و هدف: سرطان مری، ششمین عامل مرگ ناشی از سرطان در جهان است. شیوع سرطان مری در ایران بسیار بالاست. 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...

Chromogenic in situ Hybridization Compared with Real Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction to Evaluate HER2/neu Status in Breast Cancer

Background and objective: The assessment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status has become of great importance in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) to assess HER2 status of biopsy specimens. <...
