Increased sensitivity and reproducibility of TRAP assay by avoiding direct primers interaction.
Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP) is a sensitive procedure to measure telomerase activity in small samples of cell or tissue extracts. Due to the strict correlation between high levels of telomerase activity and neoplastic transformation, TRAP assay could provide an important diagnostic marker of malignancy. Although the original TRAP assay is very sensitive and some improvements h...
متن کاملSensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of the Capilia TB-Neo assay.
The performance of the Capilia TB-Neo assay, a new-generation assay, was assessed by determining its sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and cross-reaction with contaminating organisms. The sensitivity and specificity were 99.2 and 96.4% and 89.3 and 100% in pure and mixed-culture isolates, respectively. The kappa statistic was 95.0 and 77.9% in pure and mixed culture isolates, respectiv...

متن کاملAvoiding Middle-income Trap in Muslim Majority Countries: The Effect of Total Factor Productivity, Human Capital, and Age Dependency Ratio
In 2010, the World Bank categorized countries in per capita gross domestic product in terms of purchasing power parity (at constant 1990 prices) in three categories: low, middle (lower and upper) and high income. If a country caught at least 28 years in lower middle income level and at least 14 years caught in upper middle-income level, then they are trapped in lower middle and upper middle...
