The expression of cytokine transcripts has been investigated in a series of cultured human meningiomas using reverse transcriptase linked polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which allowed simultaneous analysis of a range of cytokines. The main histological subgroups of meningioma were investigated;

✦ Synopsis
A reverse transcriptase—polymerase chain reaction (RT—PCR) where one oligonucleotide primer is end‐labelled has been used to analyse expression in transgenic plants carrying antisense gene constructs. Specific detection of both sense and antisense RNA transcripts of the spliceosomal protein gene, U2B″, was achieved using the same pair of oligonucleotide primers. To maintain specificity, a reaction step in which reverse transcriptase was inactivated and RNA digested was found to be essential.

We used a newly established real-time RT-PCR assay for the quantification of the leukemia-specific CBFB/MYH11 transcripts in inv( 16)-positive acute myeloblastic leukemia. CBFB/MYH11 could be quantified over a five log range, with a detection limit of 10 molecules of a CBFB/MYH11 plasmid and a 1:10
