Molecular Identification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Blocks of Extra Pulmonary Speciemens using Genomics Extraction
Background: Tuberculosis has been detected in some extra pulmonary ecological niches. Although extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is less frequent than Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), its incidence has increased worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of EPTB and MDR-EXPT in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks among different samples in Kerma...
متن کاملUnravelling the proteome of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue.
Biofluid detectable biomarkers that originate at the site of diseased tissues would be advantageous, in that, they may provide mechanistic information concerning the manifestation and progression of the disease. Unfortunately, tissue biopsies are precious samples that can generally be acquired in small amounts due to the invasive nature of the sample collection. One of the foundations of pathol...
متن کاملExpression of Survivin in the Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-embedded Specimens of Human Osteosarcoma May Be Used as a Diagnostic Marker
Osteosarcoma is the most frequent malignant bone tumor with a peak incidence in the second and third decades of life. Diagnosis of patients with osteosarcoma is limited to clinico-pathological parameters whereas molecular markers of tumor initiation and promotion have not yet been identified. We aimed to study the expression of the anti-apoptotic survivin gene in osteosarcoma specimens. A total...
متن کاملProteomic Sample Preparation from Formalin Fixed and Paraffin Embedded Tissue
Preserved clinical material is a unique source for proteomic investigation of human disorders. Here we describe an optimized protocol allowing large scale quantitative analysis of formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. The procedure comprises four distinct steps. The first one is the preparation of sections from the FFPE material and microdissection of cells of interest. In the sec...
متن کاملNucleic Acids Extraction from Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Tissues
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are an important sample source for ret‐ rospective studies. Despite its ability to preserve proteins and cell morphology, formalin hinders molecular biology tests since it fragments and chemically modifies nucleic acids, especially RNA. Although several studies describe techniques that allow extracting nu‐ cleic acids from FFPE tissues, so far the...
