Analysis of the amplification refractory mutation allele-specific polymerase chain reaction system for sensitive and specific detection of p53 mutations in DNA.

Abstract excerpt

The sensitivity of the amplification refractory mutation allele-specific polymerase chain reaction system (ARMAS-PCR) to detect known p53 mutations was determined using DNA extracted from two human tumour cell lines collected by cytobrush, as a model for its use in exfoliative cytology. Using DNA extracted from SW480 and CEM cell lines diluted with normal human fibroblasts, a nested ARMAS-PCR was more sensitive...
