Different Real-Time PCR Formats Compared for the Quantitative Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the ABI PRISM 7700 Sequence Detection System and the LightCycler to develop a quantitative real-time PCR assay for the detection of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA suitable for routine hospital application. METHODS: We used one exonuclease probe and five different hybridization probe sets as sequence-specific fluorescence detection formats. For the exonuclease...
