7141372, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:

Jan 15, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/342684
Inventors:

Simmon D. Spivack - Nassau NY, US
Gregory J. Hurteau - Lakewood CO, US
Assignee:

Health Research Incorporated - Rensselaer NY
International Classification:

C12Q 1/68
C07H 21/02
US Classification:

435 6, 536 231
Abstract:

The invention relates to a novel Universal RT-coupled PCR strategy for the specific detection and accurate quantitation of mRNA. Claimed and disclosed are novel Universal reverse transcription (RT) primers, a specific primer mix containing the Universal RT-primers, a transcript specific forward primer and a reverse PCR primer identical to a unique tag sequence, and methods and kits thereof for avoiding the amplification of genomic DNA and/or pseudogenes.

US Patent:

61875678, Feb 13, 2001
Filed:

Sep 1, 1999
Appl. No.:

9/387455
Inventors:

Yuexia Li - Burtonsville MD
Kathy Lynn Hickman - Germantown MD
Eun Mi Lee - Gaithersburg MD
Gregory John Hurteau - Clifton Park NY
Assignee:

Akzo Nobel N.V. - Arnhem
International Classification:

C12P 1934
US Classification:

435 912
Abstract:

The present invention provides in situ amplification methods for the detection of a target nucleic acid molecule. The methods use a molecule termed "molecular tape" to retain the amplified target nucleic acid molecule within a cell upon amplification. The molecular tape, which may be used with a variety of amplification methods, improves the in situ detection of an amplified target molecule.
