Lambda DNA Amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Introduction/ Background* Since its introduction in 1985‚ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a powerful tool in molecular genetic analysis. Today‚ it is used for applications such as cloning‚ analysis of DNA from ancient specimens‚ and analysis of human DNA for forensic applications. PCR is a test-tube DNA replication system for making many‚ many copies of‚ or amplifying‚ a defined segment of DNA. Using PCR‚ a selected target

Rudolf Virchow from Germany was the first to use the term leukaemia in 1847. Ehrlich had introduced staining methods‚ the classification into acute lymphoid leukaemia became possible in 1913‚ and in 1973 ALL was divided into origin from B or T-lymphocytes.Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant neoplasm of hematopoietic stem cells‚ highly occurring among children with a proportion of 30% of all pediatric malignancies. The initial peak incidence of this hematologic malignancy is at 2 to

used the light microscope to observe living cells inside stagnant rain water. This then developed the cell theory in which all living things were made of cells‚ cells are the smallest units of life and that all cells come from pre-existing cells. Staining techniques later on enabled scientists to observe the cells organelles such as Robert Brown and his discovery of the cell nucleus. The introduction of the electron microscope in the 1930s also had a large impact on the study of cells. An electron

Samples of alveolar tissue were taken from these three groups and studied using immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning. The results from the experiment are portrayed using a one-way analysis of variance‚ Pearson’s r coefficient‚ graphs‚ and scatter plots. The conclusion of the data showed that “The quantity of the DCs

Pearl Harbor was the first time the U.S. was invaded by another country. This had forever changed the history of America. Starting just before 8 a.m. Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan‚ and the Japanese were bombed by Japan‚ and the Japanese were able to destroy about 8 battleships‚ 20 American naval vessels‚ and 300+ airplanes.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This investigatory project aims to make use of rambutan peeling extracts that is high in phenolic compounds such as tannin and saponin that exhibits antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Although the seeds contain such compounds the peeling exhibit greater amount of the said compounds. Rambutan is a very popular fruit cultivated in the Philippines and it is eaten in large amounts. The rambutans rind is quickly discarded and

Radioactivity Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. People when think of radioactivity usually remind themselves of tragedies connected with them‚ and consider it as a negative factor. In fact‚ it has both its negative aspects as well as positive ones. It is used in several branches of life and studies‚ in order to make our lives better. I will try to present some of beneficial applications of radioactivity. • Probably the most

Summary and conclusion ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ 6.1: The chapter 1 deals with the introduction of zoonotic diseases caused by Leptospira and Brucella and their global incidence. Leptospira is ubiquitous in nature affecting both man and animals‚ while Brucellosis is a neglected‚ reemerging‚ zoonotic‚ endemic and communicable disease. Epidemiologically‚ the risk groups will vary according to the climatic conditions thereby can cause epidemics as well as endemics. They are transmitted to the humans when they
