Multiplex polymerase chain reaction for subgenus-specific detection of human adenoviruses in clinical samples
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used previously for the detection and typing of adenoviruses directly in clinical samples. Since under clinical conditions subgenus-specific identification is often sufficient, we extended the genus- and type-specific PCR by a subgenus-specific PCR. By sequencing several loop I4 gene regions of the hexon (major adenovirus coat protein) and comparing them to published...
