Selective gene expression in failing human heart. Quantification of steady-state levels of messenger RNA in endomyocardial biopsies using the polymerase chain reaction.
1 Jun 1991
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of gene expression in failing human heart has been limited by the availability of cardiac tissue. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to assess gene expression in small quantities of failing and nonfailing human heart. PCR is a powerful new molecular biological tool that allows a small quantity of DNA to be amplified as much as 1 million-fold. Total RNA was...
