Multiplex degenerate PCR coupled with an oligo sorbent array for human endogenous retrovirus expression profiling
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) can be divided into distinct families of tens to thousands of paralogous loci. The expression of HERV elements has been detected in all tissues tested to date, particularly germ cells, embryonic tissues and neoplastic tissues. Hence, the study of HERV expression could represent added value in cancer diagnosis. We developed a quantitative assay combining a m...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Genotyping is an important molecular genetics technique in the early stages of producing results that will be useful in the medical field. One of the proposed methods for performing SNP Genotyping requires amplifying regions of DNA surrounding a large number of SNP loci. In order to automate a portion of this method and make the use of SNP Genotyping more wi...
متن کاملMultiplex suspension array for human anti-carbohydrate antibody profiling.
Glycan-binding antibodies form a significant subpopulation of both natural and acquired antibodies and play an important role in various immune processes. They are for example involved in innate immune responses, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurological disorders. In the present study, a microsphere-based flow-cytometric immunoassay (suspension array) was applied for multiplexed detection ...
متن کاملReconstitution of an Infectious Human Endogenous Retrovirus
The human genome represents a fossil record of ancient retroviruses that once replicated in the ancestors of contemporary humans. Indeed, approximately 8% of human DNA is composed of sequences that are recognizably retroviral. Despite occasional reports associating human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) expression with human disease, almost all HERV genomes contain obviously inactivating mutations,...
متن کاملHuman endogenous retrovirus-like sequences.
One of the most salient features of the replication strategy used by retroviruses is the transcription of the retroviral (RNA) genome into DNA followed by integration of this DNA product into the host cell genome. The integrated viral DNA copy, termed "provirus", can then serve as a template for the synthesis of further infectious virus particles. Stably integrated proviruses have been found to...
