Mammary neoplasms are the tumors most affecting female dogs and women. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are an invaluable source of archived biological material. Fresh frozen (FF) tissue is considered ideal for gene expression analysis. However, strategies based on FFPE material offer several advantages. Branched-DNA assays permit a reliable and fast workflow when analyzing gene...

Introducción. El Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH) es relevante en el desarrollo cáncer de cérvix, situación que ha conducido a la tamización con citología cérvico-uterina y prueba molecular ADN-VPH permiten detección temprana mujeres riesgode desarrollar esta patología. Aunque han disminuido incidencia mortalidad, no logrado erradicar enfermedad. Objetivo. Identificación VPH diferentes muestras ...

Massively parallel sequencing offers the ability to interrogate a tumour biopsy for multiple mutational changes. For clinical samples, methodologies must enable maximal extraction of available sequence information from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material. We assessed the use of targeted capture for mutation detection in FFPE DNA. The capture probes targeted the coding region of...

objective the aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of acid fast and auramine-rhodamine staining and multiplex pcr for the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex and non tuberculosis mycobacteria on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues (ffpe) materials and methods forty cases of ffpe pleural and bronchial tissue with chronic granulomatous inflammation and ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can identify and validate new biomarkers of cancer onset, progression and therapy resistance. Substantial archives of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer samples from patients represent a rich resource for linking molecular signatures to clinical data. However, performing NGS on FFPE samples is limited by poor RNA purification methods. To address thi...

In this paper we present a time fractional Fokker–Planck equation (fFPE) for radial twophase flow of liquid and gas in porous media. The fFPE of order a is solved for both twoand three-dimensional flow patterns using the Laplace transform method. The general solutions of the fFPE for both twoand threedimensional flows are given as a convolution integral of the input and a kernel in the Laplace ...

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is a widely available clinical specimen for retrospective studies. The possibility of long-term clinical follow-up of FFPE samples makes them a valuable source to evaluate links between molecular and clinical information. Working with FFPE samples in the molecular research area, especially using high-throughput molecular techniques such as microarr...

The use of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues for DNA analysis has been met with great difficulties due to the degradative effect this fixation, processing and storage has on DNA quality. The lack of a suitable protocol to enhance the quality of such degraded DNA has been a great hindrance to our ability to make full use of clinically annotated FFPE cancer tissue banks. In this rep...

The application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-based mass spectrometry (MS) to the proteomic analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue presents significant technical challenges. In situ enzymatic digestion is frequently used to unlock formalin-fixed tissues for analysis, but the results are often unsatisfactory. Here, we report a new, simplified in situ ...

Most human cancers show genetic instabilities leading to allelic imbalances, including loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays can be used to detect LOH. Currently, these arrays require intact genomic DNA as obtained from frozen tissue; however, for most cancer cases, only low-quality DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is available. In thi...
