PCR - Based Reverse Transcriptase Assay
ES cells. This phenomenon has been observed in our laboratory in a number of cases. Clones putatively identified as homologous recombinants by Southern analysis can be quickly checked for random insertion of extra copies of the targeting vector by PCR. Given the small difference in size between the two alleles and use of only two primers common to both WT and mutant DNA, the amplification rate ...
متن کاملDetection of Treponema pallidum by a sensitive reverse transcriptase PCR.
Syphilis is diagnosed by serologic testing or by identification of the causative agent, Treponema pallidum. The bacterium has historically been detected in clinical specimens by dark-field microscopy, immunostaining with polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies, or the rabbit inoculation test (RIT). RIT is considered to be very sensitive and specific, although it is available only in research settin...
متن کاملOxidative base damage in RNA detected by reverse transcriptase.
Oxidative base damage in DNA and metabolic defects in the recognition and removal of such damage play important roles in mutagenesis and human disease. The extent to which cellular RNA is a substrate for oxidative damage and the possible biological consequences of RNA base oxidation, however, remain largely unexplored. Since oxidatively modified RNA may contribute to the high mutability of retr...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR).
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 expression studies. Since its introduction (...
متن کاملQuantitation of avian RNA tumor virus reverse transcriptase by radioimmunoassay.
A radioimmunoassay was developed that can detect and quantitate 3 ng or more of the avian RNA tumor virus reverse transcriptase. The assay detected no antigenic sites in Rous sarcoma virus alpha virions or in virions of a murine RNA tumor virus. About 70 molecules of reverse transcriptase were found per virion of avian myleloblastosis virus with this assay or with an assay based on antibody inh...
