RT-PCR for the detection of translocations in bone and soft tissue tumours in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues

    Abstract

    This chapter outlines the methodology for the detection of mesenchymal-tumour-specific translocations in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). It includes the design of appropriate primer pairs and the necessary pretreatment of the FFPET sections to give the maximum yield of analyzable RNA, in terms of both quantity and quality. © 2011 Humana Press.
