Abstract excerpt
By combining allele-specific PCR amplification and a PCR-based quantitation approach, a method has been developed to estimate the mutated K-ras gene content in the blood of AML patients as a percentage of total K-ras. One PCR primer set was designed not to discriminate between mutant K-ras and wild-type K-ras and thus amplified the total K-ras gene. The other PCR primer set was designed to be allele-specific for...
