REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE-POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION ASSAYS FOR PROSTATE CANCER

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1997
RT-PCR, if targeted against a prostate-specific marker, can be a highly specific and sensitive assay to detect the presence of occult prostate cancer cells at sites far distant from the primary tumor. The low false-positive rate (0.8%) observed when combining most published studies and the high rate of detection of prostate cells in metastatic patients

Capacity of rTth polymerase to detect RNA in the presence of various inhibitors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The full potential of the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as a rapid and accurate diagnostic method is limited by DNA polymerase inhibitors as well as reverse transcriptase inhibitors which are ubiquitous in clinical ...

Fetal Cytokine Expression In UteroDetected by Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1995
Cytokine expression at the maternal-fetal interface is well documented. Some authors have postulated the existence of a bidirectional cytokine signaling mechanism that is critical to the maintenance of normal pregnancy. The role of the fetus (versus fetally derived placental tissues) in this process is unknown.

Enteroviral pharyngitis diagnosed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1996
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.

Comparative analysis and identification of spike mutations in Iranian COVID-19 samples from the first three waves of disease

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2023
Background: The spike surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is the essential protein in virus attachment to the target cell and cell entrance. As this protein contains immunodominant epitopes and is the main target for immune recognition, it is the critical

SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in cerebrospinal fluid: Presentation of two cases and review of literature

Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 2021
Neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection are multiple and heterogeneous. However, confirmation of nervous system impairment by viral RNA detection in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is uncommon.

Rapid, quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction: Application to intraoperative molecular detection of occult metastases in esophageal cancer [PDF]

, 2002
Objective: Our earlier data showed that quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction can discriminate patients with node-negative cancer who are at high risk for recurrence. The objective of this study was to determine whether a new, more

Comparison of Reverse Transcriptase Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification and Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Prostate Specific Antigen

Basic & Clinical Cancer Research, 2019
Background: Research shows that prostate cancer ranks second among the top five most common cancers in men. It has been confirmed that if the circulating Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) transcripts are detected successfully, the prostate cancer cells ...

Lower expressions of the human bitter taste receptor TAS2R in smokers: reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis

, 2014
Background Despite the fact that smokers have deficit in detecting taste, particularly bitter taste, no study has investigated its biological correlate.
