Laboratory confirmation is vital to effective treatment of HSV, especially in individuals in whom a clinical diagnosis cannot be obtained. There are several methods by which a definitive diagnosis may be acquired, and these include virologic typing, serologic diagnosis, rapid point-of-care antigen detection, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoblot, and DNA polymerase chain reaction.27...

Two types of screening procedures are used to identify ES cell clones carrying a targeted integration of the construct DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analysis (Southern, 1975). Both methods rely upon the specific juxtaposition of vector components and target locus sequences after homologous recombination.

A bacterium originally isolated from a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park provides the key to a powerful molecular tool for the study of DNA. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows scientists to produce unlimited amounts of any gene of interest and the bacterium Thermus aquaticus produces a heat-stable DNA polymerase (Taq pol)unerase) that allows the process to work. 

In order to overcome this obstacle, elegant molecular biology methods have been adapted to the synthesis of DNA-polymer conjugates. DNA polymerase chain reactions (PCR) hold great promises because they allow the generation of...
