The aim of this research is to estimate the virulence factor L. major exosome by real time gene expression. higher expression in footpad tissue was (29.34), day seven culture (20.37), twelve (12.25), highest line control (8.33). current work revealed that elevated comparison cultures media. levels were passage three and lowest one, level declined with progress time.

A novel multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for simultaneous detection of U. urealyticum and U. parvum was developed and compared with quantitative culture in Shepard's 10 C medium for ureaplasmas in urethral swabs from 129 men and 66 women, and cervical swabs from 61 women. Using culture as the gold standard, the sensitivity of the qPCR was 96% and 95% for female ...

The capacity to amplify and detect trace amounts of nucleic acids has made the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the most formidable molecular technology in use today. Its versatility and scope was further broadened first with the development of reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, which opened up the entire RNA field to thorough exploration and then, most conspicuously, with its evolution into real-t...

results all eight candida species were successfully detected, identified and quantitated based on the icl gene. a seven-log range of the gene copy number and a minimum detection limit of 103 copies were achieved. conclusions a one-tube absolute quantification real-time pcr that differentiates medically important candida species via individual unique melting temperature was achieved. analytical ...

Waterborne diseases represent a significant public health risk worldwide and can originate from contact with water contaminated with human fecal material. We describe a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) method that targets a genetic marker of the human-associated Bacteroides dorei for identification of human fecal pollution in ambient water samples. The following protocol includes water sample ...

The most common method for phage quantitation is the plaque assay, which relies on phage ability to infect bacteria. However, non-infective phage particles may preserve other biological properties; specifically, they may enter interactions with the immune system of animals and humans. Here, we demonstrate real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) detection of bacteriophages as an ...

Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a method of amplifying and detecting small samples of genetic material in real time and is in routine use across many laboratories. Speed and thermal uniformity, two important factors in a qPCR test, are in direct conflict with one another in conventional peltier-driven thermal cyclers. To overcome this, companies are developing novel thermal sys...
