BCR-ABL Universal Real-Time PCR Kit

Product Overview


BCR-ABL1 is a clinically significant fusion gene formed by the translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, commonly known as the Philadelphia chromosome. It is a hallmark biomarker in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and is also associated with certain forms of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and, in rare cases, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The presence of BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts plays a critical role in disease diagnosis, prognosis, treatment selection, and therapeutic monitoring. Accurate detection and quantification of BCR-ABL1 transcripts are therefore essential for effective leukemia management and monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD).

To address this critical clinical need, Genes2Me introduces the BCR-ABL Universal Real-Time PCR Kit — an advanced in vitro diagnostic solution designed for the qualitative detection and quantification of BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts in RNA extracted from peripheral blood or bone marrow samples. The assay detects and differentiates the clinically relevant Major-p210 (e13a2 & e14a2), Minor-p190 (e1a2), and Micro-p230 (e19a2) transcripts, enabling comprehensive molecular characterisation of leukemia-associated BCR-ABL1 variants.

BCR-ABL Universal

How the Assay Works


The BCR-ABL Universal Kit utilises highly specific primers and fluorescent probe-based Real-Time PCR chemistry to simultaneously detect major, minor, and micro BCR-ABL1 transcripts in separate reactions. Extracted RNA is converted to cDNA and amplified using a one-step qRT-PCR workflow for precise transcript detection and quantification. Fluorescent reporter dyes enable accurate amplification monitoring, while the ABL1 gene serves as an internal control to validate RNA quality, reagent integrity, and assay performance. The kit also includes a complete set of quantification standards (QS1–QS5) to generate standard curves for reliable quantification of BCR-ABL1 transcript levels.

Clinical Relevance


Detection of BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts is essential for confirming the diagnosis of CML and certain leukemias, while quantitative monitoring is critical for evaluating treatment response and residual disease burden. With a limit of detection as low as 0.95 copies/µl, excellent linearity (R² = 0.999), and clinical sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 99% respectively, the BCR-ABL Universal Kit provides clinicians and laboratories with highly reliable molecular insights for personalised disease management and therapy monitoring.

Data Analysis and Report


Oncoplot

When the Ct value of the sample to be tested is outside the reference range and there is a typical S-shaped amplification curve, the test result is positive; When the Ct value of the sample to be tested is within the reference range, or the Ct value is outside the reference range but there is no typical S-shaped amplification curve, the test result is negative.
