Detection of chicken astrovirus by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
The development of a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for detecting chicken astroviruses (CAstV) is described. Primers, which amplified a fragment of 510 base pairs, were located in conserved regions within the ORF 1b (RNA polymerase) gene. The limit of detection of the test was estimated to be approximately 60 viral copies

Enteroviral pharyngitis diagnosed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. [PDF]
The role of enteroviruses in childhood pharyngitis was investigated using enteroviral specific reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Viral/bacterial throat swabs were taken from 50 children with acute pharyngitis and 26 controls.

Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction to Detect Extracellular mRNAs [PDF]
The presence of extracellular nucleic acids has been reported in serum/plasma from cancer and diabetes patients that may help in disease diagnosis. Taking insulin-producing cells as examples here, RT-PCR was used to investigate a correlation between the presence and amounts of extracellular mRNA(s) and cell mass and/or function. RT-PCR was performed on

Reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and its usefulness in soil microbial ecological studies - A review [PDF]
The reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a highly specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method that allows one to detect very low transcription levels of functional gene(s) in soil.

Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles for inhibiting ribonuclease in reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
We showed that molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) could efficiently inhibit the activities of the RNase in RT-PCR reactions, demonstrating that the tailor-made nanomaterials are very promising for use in routine biological assays.
