  • Messenger RNA profiling: body fluid identification using multiplex real time-polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR)
    Patent number: 8637654
    Abstract: This invention relates to a ribonucleic acid (RNA) based assay system for body fluid identification, and in particular to a novel, multiplex, parallel assay system based on messenger RNA expressed in human tissue, and to a method for using the same.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2014
    Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: John Ballantyne, Jane Juusola

  • Messenger RNA profiling: body fluid identification using multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)
    Patent number: 7582435
    Abstract: This invention relates to a body fluids identification method and kit. A parallel, multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the definitive identification of body fluids commonly encountered in forensic casework analysis, namely blood, saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions. The methodology is based on gene expression profiling analysis in which the body fluid-specific genes are identified by detecting the presence of appropriate messenger RNA species. Gene-specific primers are labeled with fluorescent dyes, separated and subjected to laser induced fluorescence for identification of body fluid-specific genes present in a sample stain.
