PCR materials and methods useful to detect canine and feline lymphoid malignancies

摘要

The present invention provides materials and methods useful to diagnose B-cell and T-cell lymphoid malignancies in dogs and cats, as well as materials and methods useful to detect clonal expansion of certain populations of lymphoid cells using polymerase chain reaction. Primers useful for the methods include canine HIGH CDR3-specific and caninen T-cell receptor gamma-specific primers.
