Multiplex quantitative real-time PCR of laser microdissected tissue.

چکیده

This chapter describes a method for the rapid assessment of gene copy number in laser microdissected material using multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Here a putative oncogene (ZNF217) was evaluated in a series of colon tumors, but the method is applicable to any locus for which a nucleic acid sequence is available. The preparation, laser microdissection, and optimum storage of snap-frozen tumor material from freshly resected tissue is described. A set of guidelines specific for real-time PCR assays is included to assist with optimum primer and probe design. In this assay multiplex real-time PCR was performed and our experience has demonstrated that a multiplex reaction allows for a more accurate assessment of gene copy number than a "singleplex" assay because it removes the need for an external control.

One-step RT-PCR without initial RNA isolation sStep for laser-microdissected tissue sample.

One-step RT-PCR procedure without initial RNA extraction step is tested for laser microdissected tissue sample. Unfixed cryosections of liver and kidney tissue of male SD rats were cut using laser microdissection system and directly used as templates for RT-PCR study. To check the sensitivity, 5, 25, 125, and 625 hepatocytes were cut and put in PCR-tube. After DNase treatment and cDNA synthesis...

Antiprimer quenching-based real-time PCR and its application to the analysis of clinical cancer samples.

BACKGROUND Nucleic acid amplification plays an increasingly important role in genetic analysis of clinical samples, medical diagnostics, and drug discovery. We present a novel quantitative PCR technology that combines the advantages of existing methods and allows versatile and flexible nucleic acid target quantification in clinical samples of widely different origin and quality. METHODS We mo...

Real-time polymerase chain reaction and laser capture microdissection for the diagnosis of BK virus infection in renal allografts.

We used real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect BK virus (BKV) in H and E-stained kidney biopsy sections, using laser capture microdissection. Renal allograft biopsy specimens from 4 patients with the histopathologic diagnosis of BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN; group 1) and 3 patients suspected to have BKVAN but without diagnostic histologic features (group 2) were ret...

Assessing HER2 amplification by IHC, FISH, and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis (real-time PCR) following LCM in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue from 40 women with ovarian cancer

We compare HER2 receptor amplification analysis by immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) DNA copy-number assay following laser capture microdissection (LCM) in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue from 40 women with verified ovarian cancer. We speculate that LCM should result in a more accurate assessmen...
