Influence of Statistical Method Used on the Resulting Estimate of Normal RangeClinical Chemistry - Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 275-284 - 1971
Allen H. Reed, Richard J. Henry, William B. Mason
Abstract The choice of statistical method can greatly influence the calculated
normal range apart from any biological or chemical considerations. Nonparametric
normal range estimates are, for practical purposes, as accurate as estimates
that assume the distribution of data to be gaussian or loggaussian when the
distribution assumed is true. When data are not distributed as assumed,
nonparametric e... hiện toàn bộ
Rapid Determination of Transferrin Isoforms by Immunoaffinity Liquid Chromatography and Electrospray Mass SpectrometryClinical Chemistry - Tập 47 Số 3 - Trang 513-518 - 2001
Jean M. Lacey, H. Robert Bergen, Mark J. Magera, Jake Y. Chen, John F. O’Brien
AbstractBackground: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are autosomal
recessive disorders that produce increased serum carbohydrate-deficient
transferrin (CDT) isoforms. Methods to resolve CDT from fully glycosylated
transferrin (Trf) have been based on a neutral shift in the isoelectric focusing
(IEF) pattern or on a reduction in the negative charge, allowing resolution by
anion-exchange ... hiện toàn bộ
High-Resolution DNA Melting Analysis for Simultaneous Mutation Scanning and Genotyping in SolutionClinical Chemistry - Tập 51 Số 10 - Trang 1770-1777 - 2005
Luming Zhou, Lesi Wang, Robert Palais, Robert J. Pryor, Carl T. Wittwer
Abstract Background: High-resolution DNA melting analysis with saturation dyes
for either mutation scanning of PCR products or genotyping with unlabeled probes
has been reported. However, simultaneous PCR product scanning and probe
genotyping in the same reaction has not been described. Methods: Asymmetric PCR
was performed in the presence of unlabeled oligonucleotide probes and a
saturating fluor... hiện toàn bộ
Genotyping of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms by High-Resolution Melting of Small AmpliconsClinical Chemistry - Tập 50 Số 7 - Trang 1156-1164 - 2004
Michael Liew, Robert J. Pryor, Robert Palais, Cindy Meadows, Maria Erali, Elaine Lyon, Carl T. Wittwer
AbstractBackground: High-resolution melting of PCR amplicons with the DNA dye
LCGreen™ I was recently introduced as a homogeneous, closed-tube method of
genotyping that does not require probes or real-time PCR. We adapted this system
to genotype single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) after rapid-cycle PCR (12
min) of small amplicons (≤50 bp).Methods: Engineered plasmids were used to study
all poss... hiện toàn bộ
Sensitivity and Specificity of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Scanning by High-Resolution Melting AnalysisClinical Chemistry - Tập 50 Số 10 - Trang 1748-1754 - 2004
G. H. Reed, Carl T. Wittwer
Abstract Background: Screening for heterozygous sequence changes in PCR
products, also known as “mutation scanning”, is an important tool for genetic
research and clinical applications. Conventional methods require a separation
step. Methods: We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of homogeneous
scanning, using a saturating DNA dye and high-resolution melting. Heterozygous
single-nucleotide ... hiện toàn bộ
Carboxyhemoglobin as measured by gas chromatography and with the IL 282 and 482 CO-Oximeters.Clinical Chemistry - Tập 34 Số 12 - Trang 2562-2566 - 1988
H J Vreman, John J. Mahoney, A L Van Kessel, David K. Stevenson
Abstract We measured the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) in original
and CO-tonometered blood samples from 53 intensive-care patients with IL 282 and
IL 482 CO-Oximeters and by gas chromatography (GC), finding very strong
correlations among the three methods for HbCO concentrations greater than 2.5%.
For concentrations within the normal reference interval (less than or equal to
2.5%), ho... hiện toàn bộ
