It is challenging to find genes with stable transcripts for use as reference genes for quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) during viral infection. Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is known to globally shut off host gene transcription in Sf21 cells and to modify their cytoskeletons. In this study, seven host genes were selected for validation as referenc...

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and bovine rotavirus (BRV) are important pathogens of cattle. These pathogenselicitsigns that is sometimes difficult to differentiate. A real-time duplex RT-PCR assay would allow the simultaneous detection of the two viruses in the same sample. A real-time duplex RT-PCR assay was developed and optimized. The detection limit of the assay was 5 TCID50 or 100 RNA...

A novel real-time PCR assay was developed for the direct detection in food of Helicobacter pullorum-like bacteria, which are occasionally associated with human enteric disease. Experiments using control strains showed that the realtime PCR assay was specific and reproducible, with a detection level of 1 colony-forming unit (CFU)/g. The assay was then applied to determine contamination rates in ...

Researchers carrying out quantitative, multiplex, realtime PCR and RT-PCR require master mixes that provide accurate, simultaneous quantification of multiple targets in the same reaction without time-consuming optimization. Our results at Wyeth Research show that QuantiTect® Multiplex Kits from QIAGEN are well suited for multiplex analysis of up to four RNA targets in two-step and onestep real-...

Pembersihan bak sampah yang dilakukan petugas kebersihan terkadang mengalami keterlambatan karena pemerikasaan secara manual. Perihal ini mengurangi performa dalam pembersihan di titik berbeda. Maka salah satu solusinya adalah menciptakan sebuah sistem monitoring realtime. Sistem tersebut berbasis Internet of Things dan Android sudah terintegrasikan dengan Firebase Realtime Database. memakai se...
