Thus, the overall efficiency of RT– and real-time PCR in detecting the housekeeping gene in a limited number of picked cells was 82% (243/297 samples). Negative samples may be mostly caused by ...
So the question remains "What are the essential prerequisites for establishing a quantitative RT-PCR assay?" To date, a great deal of effort has been spent defining the "correct" conditions that ...
In recent years, quantitative real-time PCR tests have been extensively developed in clinical microbiology laboratories for routine diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly bacterial diseases.
