Abstract excerpt
The approach of using nested primers for the APO B variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) increases the sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to single cell level. Different experiments and a comparison to the short tandem repeats (STR) system VWA were carried out, to determine the...
