Validation of a diagnostic multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay for infectious posterior uveitis.
OBJECTIVE To validate a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay capable of simultaneously screening vitreous biopsy specimens for a panel of common pathogens in posterior uveitis. METHODS A multiplex PCR assay using novel primer sets for cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and Toxoplasma gondii was developed. The sensitivity of the assay wa...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus. Infection results in a dengue-like illness with fever, headache, malaise, and a maculopapular rash. Nearly all cases are mild and self-limiting but in 2007, a large outbreak of ZIKV was reported from the island of Yap (in Micronesia, northwest of Indonesia). Singapore is already endemic for dengue, and its impact on public health and economic bu...
full textDevelopment of a Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction for Differential Diagnosis of Canary Pox Virus
Background and Aims: A multiplex transcription-polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR) was developed for direct detection and discrimination between canarypox virus (CPV) and other avian poxvirus (APV). Materials and Methods: Three compatible primer sets were designed for m-PCR amplification of different loci fpv126, fpv140, and fpv167 located at highly conserved APV genes. Results: Results showed th...

A rapid method for detection of Escherichia coli O157: H7 using multiplex PCR was developed. Two oligonucleotide primer pairs were used for simultaneously detection of vt encoding verotoxin genes for virulence factor and rfbO157 encoding the O-antigen specific for E. coli O157: H7. Multiplex PCR generated two products of 215 bp and 420 bp for vt and rfbO157, respectively. Multiplex PCR detected...
full textA novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay for profile analyses of gene expression in peripheral blood
BACKGROUND Studies have demonstrated that inflammation has a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis due to the abnormal gene expressions of multiple cytokines. We established an accurate and precise method to observe gene expression in whole blood that might provide specific diagnostic information for coronary artery disease (CAD) and other related diseases. METHODS The fifteen selec...
