| Evaluation of a PCR probe capture assay for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii: incorporation of uracil N-glycosylase for contamination control | Toxoplasma gondii is a cyst-forming parasite of clinical relevance in humans primarily because of the neurologic abnormalities it can cause. In some clinical circumstances, it is desirable to detect the pathogen directly. We modified a commercially available Toxoplasma polymerase chain reaction... | PCR probe capture assay; Uracil N-glycosylase; UNG | 2000 |

| Comparison of four enzyme immunoassays with a western blot assay for the determination of type-specific antibodies to herpes simplex virus | Most current enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) differentiate inadequately between types 1 and 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV) antibodies since significant crossreactivity exists. We compared 4 IgG type-specific EIAs using a Western blot assay for resolution of discrepant results. The Diamedix had sensitivit... | Enzyme immunoassays; Western blot assay; Type-specific antibodies | 2001 |

| Alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas in conditional Pax3:Fkhr mice: cooperativity of Ink4a/ARF and Trp53 loss of function. | Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive childhood muscle cancer for which outcomes are poor when the disease is advanced. Although well-developed mouse models exist for embryonal and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas, neither a spontaneous nor a transgenic mouse model of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma has... | Cell Differentiation; Forkhead Transcription Factors; Myogenic Regulatory Factors | 2004-11-01 |
