PCR

=Photo-conductive Relay 光电导继电器

In the AIDS epidemic, PCR has a half dozen distinct uses, according to Gerald Schochetman of the CDC.
But PCR is opening even more windows in diagnostic medicine, where its ability to pinpoint genes much more adeptly and quickly than other methods has aided researchers in identifying the bacteria, viruses and mutant genes that cause disease.
Cetus said its Gene-Amp polyomerase chain reaction (PCR) test is much faster and 1,000 times more sensitive than current techniques for differential diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia.
PCR is also emerging as a tool for screening donated blood for HIV.
Schnittman said the PCR study also showed that the AIDS virus does not readily infect another type of immunity cell, the monocyte, which also circulates in the blood.
Tests of stored blood samples suggested that 16 of 18 men who tested positive on a standard antibody test would have tested positive at least six months earlier with a PCR test.
Schnittman said he and his colleagues used blood samples from patients with active AIDS to conduct the PCR search for the virus.
As more genes and genetic mutations linked to disease are discovered, PCR becomes important not only as a research tool, but in diagnosis as well.
In an attempt to break the monopoly held by Cetus and Roche, Du Pont alleged that Cetus's claim to the PCR patent was void.
The potential market for PCR is huge, and Du Pont's interest in the field is intense.
Further, PCR can help track disease progression by measuring how much virus a patient is carrying.
Roche says it owns the rights to all present and future uses of PCR by virtue of a $300 million deal with Cetus in July.
