qRT-PCR ASSAY SYSTEM FOR GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING

摘要

The invention concerns an integrated, qRT-PCR-based system for analyzing and reporting RNA expression profiles of biological samples. In particular, the invention concerns a fully optimized and integrated multiplex, multi-analyte method for expression profiling of RNA in biological samples, including fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The gene expression profiles obtained can be used for the clinical diagnosis, classification and prognosis of various pathological conditions, including cancer.
