          • Definition(s)
            • A diagnostic test that detects viral particles in blood or bodily fluids. Through a process called PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, small amounts of pathogen DNA are amplified — or copied --- to sufficient levels for detection. Studies of isolated pieces of DNA are nearly impossible without PCR amplification. NPR

            • Testi i PCR-së (polymerase chain reaction - reaksioni zinxhir i polimerazës)
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Test diagnostikues që zbulon praninë e pjesëzave virale në gjak ose në lëngjet trupore. Përmes një procesi të quajtur PCR (polymerase chain reaction), ose reaksioni zinxhir i polimerazës, sasi të vogla të ADN-së së patogjenit shumëfishohen ose kopjohen në nivele të mjaftueshme për t'u vënë në dukje. Studimi i pjesëzave të izoluara të ADN-së është pothuajse i pamundur pa shumëfishimin e tyre përmes PCR-së. Own research - by Erta Zykaj
