The preliminary study on the detection of AFP using this novel probe was performed by immuno PCR, and the results indicated that the sensitivity of the gene probe by immuno PCR is 10 4-10 5 times higher compared with ELISA. The construction of immuno PCR gene probe in this way not only completely prevents the protein from contacting with organic solvent and maintains the native conformation of the proteins, but also anchors protein to dsDNA in a fixed orientation and makes PCR amplification more efficient. The gene probe thus constructed is stable for at least 6 months at room temperature. This new approach is exquisite, simple, less expensive, and suitable to a variety of applications.展开更多
To establish a rapid, accurate and economical real-time PCR assay system based on TaqMan probe technology for the detection of genetic variations of single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） in myestatin （MSTN） gene,...To establish a rapid, accurate and economical real-time PCR assay system based on TaqMan probe technology for the detection of genetic variations of single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） in myestatin （MSTN） gene, a pair of TaqMan probes were designed on the polymorphism loci of MSTN gene and used in PCR reaction system for SNP genotyping. Meanwhile, an association study was performed between MSTN genotypes and growth traits of Tan sheep, including birth weight, weaning weight, 3-month weight, and 6-month weight. The results showed that rs417816017 locus of MSTN gene in Tan sheep had two genotypes ： YY and XY. The individuals with genotype XY had a growth advantage over the ones with genotype YY. The results indicate that TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR assay can be used to detect the genotype of MSTN gene, which will provide candidate genes for breeding of Tan sheep.展开更多

IM6501, B. stearothermophilus ET-1, and B, acidopullulytics. Primers were designed and a 0.2 kb DNA fragment was amplified, the fragment was successfully used for the detection of the amylase Ⅱ gene in a 2 842 bp region from Bacillus halodurans strain 38C1-1.展开更多

Genomic DNA from tumor and peripheral white blood cells in 33 patients with retinoblastoma was detected with 3.8kb probe derived from 3' end of retinoblastoma gene cDNA. The gene abnormalities, including deletion, partial deletion and rearrangement, were found in 18 patients. Further research will be aimed at microdeletions or mutations for those patients wti...展开更多

S type cells had stronger expression of EGFR mRNA than that of N type cells accompanying with only less or even no NGFR expression. The results Indicated that difference of gene expression of theae growth factor receptors might be due to the various of tumor cell differetiation. Celli differentiating toward neurons gave more NGFR expression and cells prepared to be differentiating toward other direction might give more EGFR gene expression.Various gene expression of CGA and NPY In neuroblsstoma cell lines might be due to the presence of different stages of tumor cell differentiation and NGF only Induced differentiation of those neuroblastoma cells ready to be differentiation to neurons afterwards.展开更多
