The present invention provides a reagent and method for detecting a replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) by fluorescence quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In particular, the present invention provides a primer and probe combination for detecting RCL, and a method for performing detection using said primer and probe; the present invention also provides a reagent kit comprising said primer and probe. The primer and probe combination of the present invention detects RCL with high amplification efficiency and good specificity, and can be used for RCL detection and RCL monitoring of clinical patient peripheral blood samples which may occur during a production process.

Reagent and method for fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR detection of RCL

A kit for the prognosis of colorectal cancer, which includes reagents related in detecting the expression level of any one or more genes of the following five genes: BST1, as shown in SEQ ID NO:1; MGST1, as shown in SEQ ID NO:2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10; HP, as shown in SEQ ID NO:11 or 12; RCAN3, as shown in SEQ ID NO:13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 or 22; and SRA1, as shown in SEQ ID NO:23 or 24. The reagents are used to detect the expression level of any one or more of the above five genes in the preparation of a kit for the prognosis of colorectal cancer. The kit can be used to perform precise prognosis for a patient suffering from colorectal cancer, and has good clinical application prospects.

Kit for the prognosis of colorectal cancer

The present invention relates to method and kit for performing a colorectal cancer assay. Especially a method including extracting total RNA from a peripheral blood sample obtained from a patient suspected of having or having colorectal cancer; contacting the total RNA, or cDNA or cRNA obtained from the total RNA, with one or more reagents specific for at least one target gene and no more than 100 target genes; and measuring the expression level of the at least one target gene and no more than 100 target genes. The at least one target gene and no more than 100 target genes includes one or more members selected from the group consisting of the KLRB1, KLRC2, KLRC3, KLRD1, KLRK1, CD247, RRAS2, SH2D1B, LCK, MRPS6, SPRY4, CYBB, DUSP2, PDE4D, SH2D2A, GZMB, INSR, ITGAM, VCAN, CD163, P2RY10, CD226, MRPL10, ITPRIPL2, CD2, and NUDT16 genes.

Method and kit for performing a colorectal cancer assay

The present invention provides a method for determining in vitro, in a peripheral blood sample, the probability for an individual to suffer from a colorectal cancer, using the comparison of the amount of expression products of nucleic acids of genes of the individual to be tested with the amount of expression products of nucleic acids of the same genes obtained from a CRC group of patients constituting the positive control and with the amount of expression products of nucleic acids of the same genes obtained from a CNC group of individuals constituting the negative control; and a kit comprising specific binding partners for said expression products.

Method and kit for determining in vitro the probability for an individual to suffer from colorectal cancer

A method and kit for the prognosis of colorectal cancer where the method includes the steps of: a) obtaining a peripheral blood sample and extracting total RNA from the sample, b) contacting the total RNA with at least one reagent specific for at least one NK cell gene and no more than 25 specific reagents for 25 NK cell genes, c) determining the expression level of at least one and at most 25 NK cell genes to obtain an expression profile for the patient, d) analyzing the expression profile with expression profiles previously clinically classified as a good prognosis and as a poor prognosis, wherein if the expression profile is clustered with the poor prognosis profiles, then the patient is determined to have a poor prognosis, and if the expression profile is clustered with the good prognosis profiles, then the patient is determined to have a good prognosis.

Method and kit for the prognosis of colorectal cancer

A method and kit are related to discriminating between breast cancer and benign breast disease by the determination of the expression level of at least one target gene including a nucleic acid sequence selected from the nucleic acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2 or 3, 4 and 5 or 6 to obtain an expression profile for the patient, and the comparison of the expression profile of the patient with expression profiles of target genes from patients previously clinically classified as breast cancer and expression profiles of target genes from patients previously clinically classified as benign breast disease.
