Validation of housekeeping genes for normalizing RNA expression in real-time PCR

TL;DR: Real-time reverse transcription PCR is used to assess the levels of 13 housekeeping genes expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture and whole blood from healthy individuals and those with tuberculosis and shows that RNA specifying human acidic ribosomal protein was the most suitable housekeeping gene for normalizing mRNA levels in human pulmonary tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysferlin is a Plasma Membrane Protein and is Expressed Early in Human Development

TL;DR: Analysis of human fetal tissue showed that dysferlin was expressed at the earliest stages of development examined, at Carnegie stage 15 or 16 (embryonic age 5-6 weeks).
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized comparative trial of tenofovir DF or abacavir as replacement for a thymidine analogue in persons with lipoatrophy.

TL;DR: Switching from a thymidine nucleoside analogue to either tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) or abacavir leads to significant improvement in limb fat mass over 48 weeks, and ten ofovir DF may have modest advantages over abacvir for changes in lipids.
