TRAP-silver staining, a highly sensitive assay for measuring telomerase activity in tumor tissue and cell lines

Measurement of telomerase activity in clinically obtained tumor samples may provide important information for use as both a diagnostic marker and a prognostic indicator for patient outcome. In order to evaluate telomerase activity in tumor tissue without radiolabeling the product, we developed a sim...
