53 persons suspected to alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency detection (AATD) were investigated for ZZ, MZ, ZS, SS, and MS alleles analysis by serum protein electrophoresis (SPE), measurement of trypsin inhibiting capacity (TIC), isoelectric focusing (IEF), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and IEF/PCR-RFLP techniques. The result clearly shows by using SPE and TIC techniques only 35.85 % and 50.08% of ...

BACKGROUND In 2009, 3 genome-wide association studies implicated IL28B single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as the strongest genetic pretreatment predictor of sustained virological response (SVR) in hepatitis C infection. Recently, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) included IL28B testing in their gui...

AIM To develop polymerase chain reaction based artificial restriction fragment length polymorphism (artificial RFLP PCR) assays for DR3 and DR4 alleles of the multiallelic DRB1 locus and to apply them to paraffin wax embedded archival material. METHODS Sixty five samples from DRB1 typed cell lines were analysed using the artificial RFLP PCR method to determine the specificity and sensitivity ...

PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-based analysis, also known as cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS), is a popular technique for genetic analysis. It has been applied for the detection of intraspecies as well as interspecies variation. There exist several techniques that are related with PCR-RFLP and also involve gel electrophoresis including techniques for DNA finger...

BACKGROUND Non- Tuberculous Mycobacteria are environmental opportunistic pathogens that can be found in various terrestrial and aquatic habitats. There are an epidemiological links between species isolated in tap water and those isolated from patients. hsp65 gene has more variability in its sequences, compared to the some more conserved genes in NTM, for identification of mycobacteria to specie...

HPV infections are common and the presence of the same high-risk type in cervical specimens can be due to reinfection or persistence. Persistent infection is the most important predictor for development of cervical carcinoma. The aim of this study was to validate PCR-RFLP with two sets of primers: MY09/MY11 that amplify a fragment of L1 and P1/P2 that amplify a fragment of E1 ORF. PCR product o...
