We employed the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR), which is a PCR-based genomic fingerprinting technique, to detect novel genetic alterations in human astrocytomas. DNA fingerprints generated by arbitrary primers were compared in normal lymphocytes and tumor tissues from the same

The sensitivity of the amplification refractory mutation allele-specific polymerase chain reaction system (ARMAS-PCR) to detect known p53 mutations was determined using DNA extracted from two human tumour cell lines collected by cytobrush, as a model for its use in exfoliative cytology. Using DNA ex
We used a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method for squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen mRNA to detect circulating tumour cells in patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The sensitivity of the method, as determined by cell spiking experiments, was 10 cultured A431 cells am
The novel approach of blunt-end single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) has been applied in the analysis of urine samples from bladder-cancer patients for detecting loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 3 polymorphic markers in the p53 gene. Of the 28 urine samples examined by SSCP analysis of blun
