Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9804742A1] This invention provides a method for determining the presence of specific cell types in a mixed population of cells. This method involves the identification and detection of markers for the target cell types, the preparation of primers specific for the markers, and the use of reverse transcriptase reaction technology to amplify and detect these markers. The method of this invention is sensitive enough to detect the presence of as few as 100 target cells in a cell population. Specific examples of target cells include human chondrocyte cells and human keratinocyte cells.
