The self-reported diagnostic protocols for confirmation of TB are known in India [ 15] probably because the diagnosis of TB still largely depends on unreliable methods such as smear microscopy, tuberculin test and histology.
To confirm whether the new information by this approach is reliable, we randomly picked up two differentially expressed genes, IGFBP2 and integrin beta 4, that were identified by the amplification protocol but not by the regular protocol for confirmation using western blotting, northern blotting and immunohistochemistry assays.
Although analyses of secondary outcomes will be underpowered, we include the analyses in the protocol for confirmation of the analysis of primary outcome and implication for the future studies.
To evaluate the protocol for confirmation of satisfactory Essure placement using transvaginal ultrasound.
All samples were tested by rRT-PCR following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDCC) protocol [30] for confirmation of pandemic H1N1 virus and the WHO protocol [31] for identification of seasonal influenza on ABI 7500 real time PCR machine.
Standard laboratory protocols are used for confirmation of N. meningitidis, and bacterial agglutination with rabbit anti-sera against capsular antigens is used for serogrouping.
We've reached out to Google and Facebook for confirmation.
All PCR products were subcloned and sequenced for confirmation.
For this assay standard, CGH protocols were employed, but the data were analyzed both for new deletions and for confirmation that the deletion detected by PCR was missing by CGH criteria.
Just ask Gianluca Festa and Alessandro Pistone for confirmation.
