Özet
Internal controls (ICs), are the main components of any real-time PCR based amplification methods, which are co-purified and co-amplified with the actual target. The existence of free circulating nucleic acids in plasma and serum (CNAPS) has been known for many years. The aim of this study was to verify whether CNAPS can be used as ICs in real-time PCR based detection and quantification of DNA or RNA targets in plasma and serum samples. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a housekeeping gene, was chosen at random as CNAPS to serve as an intrinsic internal control in two different real-time PCR based quantification models in plasma and serum. Viral loads of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA were quantified as actual targets in parallel to GAPDH as IC in a total of 519 serum or plasma samples including 21 healthy controls, 202 positive chronic …
