Chimerism status evaluation of post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation samples is essential to predict post-transplant relapse. The most common technique able to detect small increments of chimerism is the quantitative real-time PCR. Although this method is already applied by several laboratories, the previously described protocols often lack of sensitivity and the amount of the DNA required for each chimerism analysis is too high. In the present study we compared a novel semi-nested allele-specific realtime PCR (sNAS-qPCR) protocol with our in-house standard allele-specific real-time PCR (gAS-qPCR) protocol. We selected two genetic markers and we analyzed the technical parameters (slope, y-intercept, R2, and standard deviation) useful to determine the performances of the two protocols. The sNAS-qPCR resulted having a better sensitivity and precision. Moreover, the sNAS-qPCR protocol needs, as input DNA, only 10 ng, about at least 10-fold less than the gAS-qPCR protocols described in the literature. Finally, the proposal sNAS-qPCR protocol could be very useful to perform chimerism analysis with a low amount of DNA samples as in the case of blood cell subsets.
