Rapid generation of chromosome-specific alphoid DNA probes using the polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Non-isotopic in situ hybridization of chromosome-specific alphoid DNA probes has become a potent tool in the study of numerical aberrations of specific human chromosomes at all stages of the cell cycle. In this paper, we describe approaches for the rapid

Introduction: Angiostrongyliasis is a disease caused by Angiostrongylus nematodes that is present worldwide. The infections with the highest impact on human and animal health are caused by A. cantonensis, A. costaricensis, and A. vasorum.

Background: Pertussis, is an infectious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. The incidence of pertussis has been increasing in South Korea to due to waning vaccine-induced immunity. Culture has a low sensitivity and a long turnaround time (

A molecular approach (multiplex polymerase chain reaction) for diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis [PDF]
A New multiplex PCR have been developed in our laboratory using primer sets, aiming amplification of both D.N.A target fragments obtained in 18S RNA of commonly encountered fungi in human being and in Rhinosporidium seeberi using F1-fw/F2-rev (500 bp target) and Rhino-fw/ Rhino-rev (.177 bp target).

Forensic validation studies of a novel 35-InDel multiplex polymerase chain reaction system
Background: A difficulty associated with forensic applications is the detection of degraded biological materials. Due to the large amplicon sizes of short tandem repeat alleles, valid genotyping results cannot be obtained from degraded biological ...

Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...

High‐risk bladder cancer is typically treated with Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), but 30–40% of patients relapse. No FDA‐ or CE‐approved biomarkers currently predict or prognosticate BCG failure. We systematically reviewed the literature and identified 72 eligible studies, revealing several promising biomarkers associated with BCG treatment response ...

A comparison of two multiplex-PCR assays for the diagnosis of traveller’s diarrhoea
Background Numerous multiplex-PCR assays are now available in routine diagnostics but their clinical value is controversial if a clear association between clinical symptoms and the detection of a particular pathogen is missing. The objective of this work

We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...
