RT-PCR Analysis of TOPBP1 Gene Expression in Hereditary Breast Cancer [PDF]
Hereditary predisposition to breast cancer determined in large part by loss of function mutations in one of two genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. Besides BRCA1 and BRCA2 other genes are also likely to be involved in hereditary predisposition to breast cancer ...

Quantitative RT-PCR: Limits and Accuracy
In this paper we determine the limits and accuracy of quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using a modification of the original protocol. The quantification of mRNA with this procedure requires a preliminary estimation of the target molecule (TM) concentration, established from experiments with an internal control molecule (ICM).

Evaluation of a commercially available reverse transcription-PCR enzyme immunoassay (Enterovirus Consensus kit) for the diagnosis of enterovirus central nervous system infections [PDF]
A commercial reverse transcription (RT)-PCR amplification method was compared with culture for the diagnosis of enterovirus meningitis. In total, 99 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens were examined with the Enterovirus Consensus kit and shell vial ...

Detection and identification of Fabavirus species by one-step RT-PCR and multiplex RT-PCR
The genus Fabavirus of the family Secoviridae comprises a group of poorly characterized viruses. To date, only five species have been described: Broad bean wilt virus 1 (BBWV-1), Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV-2), Lamium mild mosaic virus (LMMV), Gentian mosaic virus (GeMV) and Cucurbit mild mosaic virus (CuMMV).

Modeling and analysis of competitive RT-PCR [PDF]
The present studies demonstrate a theoretical and practical framework for the accurate quantitation of gene expression in RNA extracted from microscopic tissue samples. The approaches are developed around competitive RT-PCR techniques. Assay performance has been examined and validated at both the RT and PCR steps.
