Simultaneous Detection of RIG-1, MDA5, and IFIT-1 Expression Is a Convenient Tool for Evaluation of the Interferon-Mediated Response

In this study, we developed a novel, multiplex qPCR assay for simultaneous detection of RIG-1, MDA5, and IFIT-1 at the mRNA level.The assay was validated in A549 cells transfected with in vitro transcribed RNAs.Both exogenous RNA-GFP and self-amplifying (saRNA-GFP) induced significant expression of RIG-1, MDA5, IFIT-1, as well as type I and III int

Telomere Length on Chromosome 17q Shortens More than Global Telomere Length in the Development of Breast Cancer

It is known that total telomere length is shorter in invasive breast cancer than in normal breast tissue but the status of individual telomere lengths has not been studied.Part of the difficulty is that usually telomere length in interphase cells is measured on all chromosomes together.In this study we compared normal breast epithelium, duct carcin
