Evaluation of LightCycler PCR for Implementation of Laboratory Diagnosis of Herpes Simplex Virus Infections
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Five hundred specimens (288 genital, 192 dermal, and 20 ocular) were extracted by technologists, and the DNA was assayed by LightCycler PCR (DNA polymerase and thymidine kinase [TK] gene targets) and by conventional tube and shell vial cell culture. One hundred fifty-eight confirmed (by cell culture and TK target PCR) positive and LightCycler-positive specimens were detected during the first 30 PCR cycles....
