The telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay has been used to test telomerase activity in numerous cancer specimens. We describe primers, controls and quantification methods for the TRAP assay to accurately measure the level of telomerase activity in clinical samples. The assay is reliable and reproducible in routine analyses and can be used to estimate the processivity of telomerase activity.
端粒重复序列扩增法(TRAP)检测已被用于检测众多癌症标本中的端粒酶活性。我们描述了TRAP检测的引物、对照和定量方法,以准确测量临床样本中端粒酶活性水平。该检测在常规分析中可靠且可重复,可用于评估端粒酶活性的持续合成能力。
