Serum lncRNA detection as a Potential Biomarker of Lung Cancer
Serum lncRNA detection as a Potential Biomarker of Lung Cancer
20 Feb 2017Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality, and the second most common cancer among both men and women in the United States. Although it has been studied extensively for many years, there is still a great amount of knowledge to be uncovered with respect to its clinical diagnosis, prognosis and mechanism. In this application note, the Human RT2 lncRNA Cancer PathwayFinder PCR Array was used to evaluate cancer-related long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) levels in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patient serum samples.

PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.RNA InterferenceRNA interference (RNAi) uses siRNA or miRNA for transcriptional silencing, gene knockdown and regulation of gene expression. RNAi requires chemical synthesis, introduction of DNA vectors into cells, an assay of RNAi effects and RNAi quantification or analysis. Consider target sequence selection, reagent preparation, controls, high specificity and effectiveness and low non-specific gene knockdown.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Cancer DiagnosticsThere are a wide variety of diagnostic tests for cancer available, and this range continues to expand as our knowledge of cancer improves. Current diagnostic methods include biopsy, imaging and blood tests for known biomarkers. New methods in research development include liquid biopsies and cancer breathalyzers.Lung CancerLung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Research focuses on early detection, targeted therapies, and personalized treatment strategies. Explore lung cancer research and diagnostic products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Human SerumHuman serum is found in blood plasma. The protein is used in a variety of applications including tissue engineering, transplantation and cell therapy.lncRNA
