The arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) was used to detect somatic genetic alterations in lung carcinomas. DNA fingerprints generated by a single arbitrary primer were compared between normal and tumor tissues of the same individuals. We adapted the technique to the use of tissue f

Gene amplification is clearly an important aspect of tumour growth and development and has prognostic significance in certain tumours. The identification and genetic characterisation of new areas of amplification in human malignancy remains an important goal in understanding the underlying genetic l
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
We investigated the value of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in children and evaluated the relationship between PCR results in children with tuberculous infections and mediastinal adenopathies detected by computerized tomography (CT-Scan). This was a contr
DNA from 10 human glioma cell lines was analyzed by arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction. By fingerprinting of the DNA fragments obtained, the presence of fragment Qx with an abnormal signal was detected in one of the glioblastoma cell lines, CCF-STTG1. The nucleotide sequence of this fragme
