Detection of Candida albicans mRNA in archival histopathology samples by reverse transcription-PCR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The feasibility of detecting Candida albicans mRNA in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded archival human histopathology specimens by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) was investigated. RT with gene-specific primers was used to detect five single-copy C. albicans gene transcripts, including those of two housekeeping genes, in oral candidiasis samples up to 8 years of age.

Detection of Candida albicans mRNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded mouse tissues by nested reverse transcription-PCR.
Histopathology archives represent a vast source of infectious disease specimens that can be used to elucidate important disease processes. In this report, we describe a method to detect Candida albicans gene expression from infected, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded mouse tissue. By use of glass beads to break open the fungal cells and proteinase K treatment, RNA was extracted routinely from t...
متن کاملQuantification of Candida albicans actin mRNA by the LightCycler system as a means of assessing viability in a model of cutaneous candidiasis.
The LightCycler system (two-step reverse transcription-PCR-fluorescent hybridization [LC RT-PCR-FH]) was used to quantify Candida albicans actin mRNA as a means of assessing its viability in a reconstituted skin model of cutaneous candidiasis following the application of an antimycotic. A 192-bp ACT exon fragment was ligated into the pCR2.1 plasmid vector, and dilutions of the cloned insert (pA...
متن کاملRapid quantification of drug resistance gene expression in Candida albicans by reverse transcriptase LightCycler PCR and fluorescent probe hybridization.
We developed a rapid, sensitive, and reproducible assay to quantify Candida albicans ACT1, CDR1, CDR2, ERG11, and MDR1 mRNA using a two-step reverse transcription and LightCycler real-time PCR (RT-LightCycler PCR) method with sequence-specific hybridization probes. We compared RT-LightCycler PCR with Northern hybridization for quantitative analysis of gene expression in isolates with various fl...
متن کاملUse of green fluorescent protein and reverse transcription-PCR to monitor Candida albicans agglutinin-like sequence gene expression in a murine model of disseminated candidiasis.
Candida albicans PALS-green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter strains were inoculated into mice in a disseminated candidiasis model, and GFP production was monitored by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). GFP production from the ALS1 and ALS3 promoters was detected immunohistochemically. ALS1, ALS2, ALS3, ALS4, and ALS9 transcription was detected by RT-PCR, further ide...
