Genotyping of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2000
A molecular assay has been developed for the specific detection and genetic characterisation of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes in the blood of malaria infected individuals. The assay is based on the reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification of the messenger RNA of gene pfg377, a sexual-stage specific transcript ...

Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction

2010
The real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) has become the method of choice for the quantification of specific mRNAs. This method is fast, extremely sensitive, and accurate, requires only very small amounts of input RNA, and is relatively simple to perform.

Detection of measles virus by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in a placenta

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2009
Measles virus (MV) during pregnancy is associated with maternal morbidity and mortality and can put the fetus and newborn at risk of a wide range of complications. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for detecting MV in the placenta has not been reported.A case of RT-PCR detection of MV in the placenta of a 38-year-old woman who ...

Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)

2003
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has become a well-established and powerful molecular technique for studying ribonucleic acids. It is used in medical diagnostics for detecting viral RNA, in hematology and oncology for detecting chimeric transcripts of rearranged genes (1), and in the broad area of research applications in gene ...

Detection of Metastatic Tumor Cells in Blood by Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction

2003
In oncology, the correct assessment of tumor stage is crucial information, as it relates to disease-free interval and prognosis. Routine staging modalities use histopathology to evaluate the presence or absence of metastasis mainly in tissues such as lymph nodes, as described in Chapter 1 by Roskell and Buley.

Early diagnosis of murray valley encephalitis by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction

Pathology, 2000
A 4-year-old aboriginal boy developed encephalitis due to Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVE) following an earlier infection with Kunjin virus (KUN). The illness was severe, resulting in cerebral atrophy and profound physical and intellectual disability.

A reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction assay in the diagnosis of soft tissue sarcomas

Cancer, 2000
Many types of sarcomas are characterized by specific chromosomal translocations that result in the production of novel chimeric genes. Detection of these fusion genes could be a sensitive molecular diagnostic assay. However, to the authors' knowledge there have been few systemic comparisons between the current histopathologic diagnosis and the presence

Prognostic Value of Tyrosinase Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction in Metastatic Melanoma

Dermatology, 2001
<i>Background:</i> Circulating tumor cells can now be identified in subjects with metastatic melanoma by using the reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the messenger RNA of tyrosinase, a key enzyme of melanogenesis. <i>Aim and Methods:</i> The aim of this study was to determine whether the detection
