Monitoring of Epstein-Barr Virus DNA Load in Peripheral Blood by Quantitative Competitive PCR
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
A competitive quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) assay combined with simple silica-based DNA extraction was developed for monitoring of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load in unfractionated peripheral blood. The Q-PCR is based on competitive coamplification of a highly conserved 213-bp region of the EBNA-1 open reading frame with an internal standard (IS), added in a known concentration. The IS has the same amplicon length...
