A C-circle assay for detection of alternative lengthening of telomere activity in FFPE tissue
31 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a telomerase-independent, recombination-based telomere maintenance mechanism that allows cancer cells to acquire unlimited proliferative capacity. The C-circle assay (CCA) has emerged as the gold standard for quantitative measurement of ALT activity. Here, we present a modified CCA protocol to examine ALT activity in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens. We...
