METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF cDNA FOR TERT GENE, NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION METHOD AND DETECTION METHOD USING THE SAME, PRIMER FOR USE IN THE SAME, AND TUMOR DIAGNOSIS KIT USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect mRNA for telomerase (TERT) gene that is a tumor-specific gene with high sensitivity, and to provide a method to diagnose a tumor by using the same.SOLUTION: Disclosed are: an amplification/detection method for mRNA for TERT gene, which is characterized by heating at a high temperature prior to reverse transcription; the diagnosis of a tumor by using the method; a primer set suitable for the amplification/detection method for mRNA for TERT gene; and a diagnosis kit using the same.
