The mRNAexpression study on small amount of Theileria annulata lymph node biopsy sample using SMART-cDNA technology
Authors
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A major issue in many gene expressionstudies utilizing small amount of biological materials is thelimited quantity of RNApurified from clinical samples, which isoften used for RT-PCR or standard Northern blot analysis.OBJECTIVES: The SMART cDNA synthesis method and subsequentSMART-cDNA-PCR technique was used to analyse 3genes in macroschizonts of Theileria annulata in small lymphnode biopsy material. METHODS: The SMART-cDNA of TaSpgene was cloned in pTZ57R/T-vector and sequenced. We focusedon genes encoding surface proteins TaSp, TaD and HSP70.RESULTS: Our results showed that SMART cDNA dependablyreproduces the expression profile found in messenger RNA. TheRT-SMART-PCR showed the amplification of the processedmRNAs. The sequencing analysis showed that the amplifiedcDNA was coded for TaSp protein in Theileria annulata.CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the SMART PCRtechnique is practical for amplification of complete sequence ofmRNAs in the form of cDNAs, and therefore for gene expressionstudies if only small amounts of starting material are available.

Background: Sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment and it is getting wide acceptance in Iran. The radiation safety of the procedure has been investigated under controlled conditions, but the standard dose of radiotracer and techniques are not always observed in the community setting. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the absor...
full textThe need for skin pen marking for sentinel lymph node biopsy: A comparative study
Introduction: There is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (I and II) breast cancer patients. Usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. In this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. Methods: 40 ...

Editor—Kell and Kerin wrote about sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer and melanoma. This is a staging procedure with a well established role in breast cancer, reducing the need for dissection of the axillary node. The indications and advantages for sentinel lymph node biopsy in melanoma are not confirmed, and it is certainly not the established treatment implied in the editorial. Sentin...

We report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Four peritumoral intradermal Tc-99m phytate injection was performed and SLNs were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. On the biopsy only the right axillary SLN was metastatic leading to right axilla...
