SPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...
متن کاملMinor H Antigen HA-1–specific Regulator and Effector CD8+ T Cells, and HA-1 Microchimerism, in Allograft Tolerance
The role of the hematopoietic lineage-restricted minor histocompatibility (H) antigen HA-1 in renal allograft tolerance was explored. We obtained peripheral blood samples from three recipients of histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched, HA-1-mismatched renal transplants, one of which had discontinued immunosuppression >30 yr ago while sustaining normal kidney function. Peripheral blo...
متن کاملCord blood comprises antigen-experienced T cells specific for maternal minor histocompatibility antigen HA-1.
Umbilical cord blood transplantation is applied as treatment for mainly pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies. The clinical results show a relatively low incidence of graft-versus-host disease and leukemia relapse. Since maternal cells traffic into the fetus during pregnancy, we questioned whether cord blood has the potential to generate cytotoxic T cells specific for the hematopoiet...
متن کاملHaptoglobin genotyping by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction amplification.
We performed haptoglobin (Hp) genotyping by polymerase chain reaction using allele-specific primer-pairs. The major six genotypes of Hp were identified using this method. Among Japanese individuals living in Ehime and Okayama Prefectures, the allele frequencies were estimated to be Hp2 = 0.723 and Hp1s = 0.277. Genotyping of Hp was possible with 0.3 ng of DNA and with 0.125 microliter of blood....
متن کاملallele-specific polymerase chain reaction for detection of main gyra allelic variants in helicobacter pylori strains
background rapid detection of resistant strains of helicobacter pylori in human clinical samples is of major importance in clinical settings. inability of conventional clinical laboratory techniques in detection of these strains usually leads to failure of prescribed therapeutic regimens. objectives the aim of this study was designing a simple and rapid allele-specific pcr (as-pcr)-based method...
