Abstract excerpt
A method for sensitive quantitation of bone gla protein (BGP, osteocalcin) mRNA has been developed using competitive polymerase chain reaction after reverse transcription (competitive RT-PCR). The complementary DNA (cDNA) were transcribed from sample RNA was co-amplified in a PCR with a known amo...
