TLDR
Modified long composite primers were developed based on both mRNA differential display and RNA arbitrarily primed PCR fingerprinting methods to increase the reproducibility and sensitivity of the mRNA differentialdisplay while still keeping the characteristics of the original method.
Abstract
To increase the reproducibility and to reduce the false positives in the initial mRNA differential display, modified long composite primers were developed based on both mRNA differential display and RNA arbitrarily primed PCR fingerprinting methods. Ten-base nucleotides were added at the 5' ends of the primers used in the initial mRNA differential display. These included a restriction site to aid cloning. PCR began with one low-stringency cycle (40 degrees C for annealing) followed by 35 high-stringency cycles (60 degrees C for annealing). The modified method significantly improved the reproducibility and sensitivity of the mRNA differential display while still keeping the characteristics of the original method.

Altered Gene Expression Associated with Apoptosis in a Pre-B-Leukemic Cell Line Following Cross-Linking of MHC Class I

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the apoptotic process was not accompanied by changes in [Ca2+]i, the level of activation of NF-kappaB, or changes in protein kinase C activity and that the initiation of apoptosis could be prevented by phorbol ester treatment.

Method for making available a priming oligonucleotide

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence without the need to modify reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, or ionic strength and using the product of one cycle in the next one is presented.
