    摘要: The invention relates to the detection of, among others, tumor-specific fusion proteins. Provided is a method for detecting a fusion protein in a sample, the fusion protein comprising an amino-terminal fragment and a carboxy-terminal fragment that each correspond to a native protein. The method comprises contacting the sample with at least one binding molecule specifically reactive with a part of the native protein that is not present in the fusion protein, under conditions that allow for the formation of a complex between at least one binding molecule and the native protein, removing the complex from the sample to deplete the sample of the native protein but not of the fusion protein; and detecting the fusion protein in the sample using at least one antibody probe directed against the fusion protein. Also provided is a diagnostic kit for carrying out a method of the invention.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method to determine bisulfite conversion of unmethylated cytosine to uracil in genomic DNA, comprising the steps of providing a first set of amplification primers for amplifying bisulfite converted copies of a repetitive DNA element by qPCR and a second set of amplification primers for amplifying unconverted copies of said repetitive DNA element by qPCR, performing a multiplex qPCR with said first and second set of amplification primers to generate amplicons, and determining the bisulfite conversion efficiency by comparing the amounts of said first and second amplicon.
