AMPLIFICATION OF HUMAN DNA BY PRIMERS TARGETED TO LEISHMANIA KINETOPLAST DNA AND POST-GENOME CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DETECTION OF PARASITES BY A POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the Leishmania Viannia-specific primers B1-B2 to detect Leishmania in normal skin and peripheral blood monocytes of patients with active cutaneous leishmaniasis. Southern blotting and sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products confirmed the specificity of kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) amplification from tissue fluid from healthy skin, whereas the PCR with monocytes also amplified a human...
