Proteomic non-small cell lung carcinoma biomarker screening in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid
1 Institute of Cell and Molecular Pathology - 2 Department of Toxicology, Hannover Medical School MHH 3 Respiratory Medicine Department of Internal Medicine I, University Hospital Halle, Halle (Saale)

Using a standardized method to acquire MALDI-TOF proteome profile spectra of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), we have shown the upregulation of histatin 3 and calgranulin C in a small pilot cohort of NSCLC patients. This pilot study serves to demonstrate that it is feasible to screen a larger NSCLC patient cohort for BALF proteome level biomarkers in a clinical setting.

Chemically Modified Primers for Improved Multiplexed PCR
TriLink BioTechnologies

Multiplex PCR is an advantageous technique used in PCR applications to amplify multiple targets in a single reaction. As useful as it is, this technique presents a new set of challenges that further complicates PCR setup. For example, reactions are more prone to off-target amplifications such as mis-priming and primer dimer due to the increased number of primer pairs. Furthermore, preferential amplification of certain targets leads to an unequal distribution of amplicon products, making quantifi
