Validação de recursos de cargas viral do HIV-1 obtidos para insumos/kids/equipamentos de diferentes procedênias /

Alho, Maércio José de Oliveira. January 2010 (has links)
Resumo: Em 1997 o Departamento de DST/AIS e Hepatites Virais estruturou em todo Brasil uma rede de laboratórios para realizar o exame de Carga Viral Plasmática do HIV (CV) denominada Rede Nacional de Carga Viral. O exame quantifica o RNA do HIV no plasma do paciente infectado utilizando a metodologia do branched-DNA, um ensaio de amplificação do sinal luminescente, o qual utiliza uma plataforma de detecção. Atualmente, esta rede é reconhecida internacionalmente e realiza 520.000 exames/ano. No entanto, vários fatores podem influenciar o resultado do exame como integridade do RNA, volume de amostra disponível, método e plataforma utilizados. Assim, o Departamento de DST/AIDS e Hepatites Virais implantou um protocolo pré-analítico para ser utilizado em todo o território nacional. Entretanto, as regiões brasileiras são muito diferentes e alguns laboratórios não conseguem seguir este protocolo. O objetivo deste estudo foi (a) avaliar as diferentes condições de transporte e armazenamento das amostras utilizadas no teste de CV, (b) validar a utilização de volumes iniciais de plasma inferiores ao preconizado, (c) comparar plataformas de detecção e (d) metodologias disponíveis para a execução do exame. Os resultados mostraram que as amostras podem ser processadas em até 8 h sem perda ou degradação do RNA, volumes iniciais inferiores ao preconizado podem ser utilizado com perda de sensibilidade e, as duas plataformas disponíveis no Brasil são equivalentes para a execução do teste. Apesar de existirem outras metodologias para a realização do teste, os resultados podem ser diferentes mostrando a necessidade da utilização da mesma metodologia em todo Brasil / Abstract: The Department of the DST/AIDS and Viral Hepatitis implemented since 1997 a laboratory network in all Brazil to perform the HIV plasma viral load (PVL) test named Viral Load National Network as part of the attendance to infected patient. This exam quantify the HIV plasma RNA in infected patient using Branched-DNA methodology, a signal amplification nucleic acid probe assay, which use a detection platform. Nowadays this network has international appreciation and to execute 520.000 tests/year. However, several factors can alter the result of the test as RNA integrity, available sample volume, used method and detection platform. Then an optimized pre-analytic protocol was implanted by Department of the DST/Aids to be used in all national territory. However the Brazil regions are many different and some laboratories don't get lead this protocol. The goal of this study was (a) to evaluate the different transport and storage conditions of the samples used to the PVL test, (b) to valid the use of the lower plasma initial input in the exam, (c) to compare the detection platforms and (d) methods available to execution of the test. The results showed blood sample can be process in until 8h after collection without RNA loss or degradation, lower initial input can be used with loss of sensibility and the two detection platforms available in Brazil are equivalent. In spite of others methods are available to execution of test, the results can be distinct showing the importance of the all laboratories in Brazil used the same method / Orientador: Maria Inês de Moura Campos Pardini / Coorientador: Rejane Maria Tommasini Grotto / Banca: Emílio Carlos Curcelli / Banca: Paulo Inácio da Costa / Mestre

Padlock Probes and Rolling Circle Amplification : New Possibilities for Sensitive Gene Detection

Mendel-Hartvig, Maritha January 2002 (has links)
<p>A series of novel methods for detection of known sequence variants in DNA, in particular single nucleotide polymorphism, using padlock probes and rolling circle replication are presented. DNA probes that can be circularized – padlock probes – are ideal for rolling circle replication. Circularized, but not unreacted probes, can generate powerful signal amplification by allowing the reacted probes to template a rolling circle replication (RCR) reaction. However, when hybridized and ligated to a target DNA molecule with no nearby ends, the probes are bound to the target sequence, inhibiting the RCR reaction is. This problem can be solved by generating a branched DNA probe with two 3’ arms such that the probes may be circularized while leaving the second 3’ arm as a primer for the RCR reaction. We describe how T4 DNA ligase can be used for efficient construction of DNA molecules having one 5’ end but two distinct 3’ ends that extend from the 2’ and 3’ carbons of an internal nucleotide. An even stronger approach to circumvent the topological problem that can inhibit RCR is to restriction digest the template downstream of the padlock recognition site. By using Phi 29 DNA polymerase with efficient 3’ exonuclease and strand displacement activity, the template strand can then be used to prime the RCR reaction. The amplified molecule is contiguous with the target DNA, generating an anchored localized signal. The kinetics of the reaction was investigated by following the reaction in real-time using molecular beacon probes. Localized RCR signal were obtained on DNA arrays, allowing detection of as little as 104-105 spotted molecules, of either single- or double-stranded M13 DNA, in a model experiment. We have also established a serial rolling circle amplification procedure. By converting rolling circle products to a second and even third generation of padlock probes the signal was amplified thousand-fold per generation. This procedure provides sufficient sensitivity for detection of single-copy gene sequences in 50 ng of human genomic DNA, and large numbers of probes were amplified in parallel with excellent quantitative resolution.</p>

Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T20:18:09Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 1788.pdf: 1563222 bytes, checksum: d55e992347a7bcc9f276f927b6f940f4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-05-07 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / Esta pesquisa é o resultado de quatro anos dedicados ao doutorado. Apresenta caráter pioneiro em vários aspectos. Primeiro, este trabalho utilizou a metodologia de Branched de DNA (bDNA) para análise de expressão gênica em tecidos biológicos. Inicialmente, a técnica que era destinada para cultura de células, foi adaptada para homogenatos de tecido. Primeiramente, validamos a metodologia mediante o uso do protocolo QuantiGene® Reagent Systems Evaluation Program (Genospetra). Mediante este protocolo, vários ensaios experimentais foram realizados, e resultou na adequação metodológica que a empresa utilizou para padronizar os procedimentos para análise com homogenatos de tecidos animais. Atualmente, nosso protocolo faz parte do manual do Sistema de Reagentes QuantiGene Panomics® que está sendo utilizado pela própria empresa para análise da expressão gênica com homogenatos de tecido muscular. Segundo, tendo em vista a existência de poucos trabalhos na literatura que investiga o efeito do laser &#955;=514 nm durante a regeneração do músculo esquelético, decidimos realizar esta investigação para fins de desenvolvimento do laser de argônio de baixa intensidade para fins terapêuticos. Terceiro, consiste no primeiro trabalho que investiga três comprimentos de onda de laser de baixa intensidade sobre a expressão de genes durante o processo de regeneração muscular in vivo. Ao final desse estudo obtivemos resultados relevantes que deram origem a dois manuscritos submetidos em revistas internacionais, em anexo. Para apresentação desta tese, os resultados obtidos foram organizados em capítulos que correspondem aos dois artigos apresentados a seguir.
