| PCR |
1. A laboratory process that selects a DNA segment from a mixture of DNA chains and rapidly replicates it; used to create a large, readily analyzed sample of a piece of DNA. It is used in DNA fingerprinting and in medical tests to identify diseases from the infectious agent's DNA. 2. As related to HIV-also called RT-PCR-a sensitive laboratory technique that can detect and quantify HIV in a person's blood or lymph nodes. ...

| PCR |
a highly sensitive test that can detect small amounts of DNA or RNA (genetic material) in a blood or tissue sample using an amplification technique that multiplies the existing DNA/RNA so that it can more easily be detected. PCR assays are used to determine viral loads in persons infected with HIV.

| PCR |
A method of amplifying or copying DNA fragments that is faster than cloning. The fragments are combined with DNA polymerase, nucleotides, and other components to form a mixture in which the DNA is cyclically amplified.

| PCR |
polymerase chain reaction, a technique that uses an enzyme (DNA polymerase) to repeatedly amplify specific regions of a DNA molecule, as a result of cycles of denaturation, polymerisation and elongation.
