Enhanced ascertainment of microchimerism with real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction amplification of insertion‐deletion polymorphisms
27 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The characterization of microchimerism (MC) by gene amplification has been limited by few allogeneic markers, ascertainment bias, and assay analytic performance. To address this, a panel of 12 MC assays based on insertion-deletion (InDel) polymorphisms had been optimized. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The InDel assays were validated with comprehensive in vitro spiking studies at the stochastic limit of...
