Abstract excerpt
We developed a single-tube rapid method for the detection and differentiation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccine and wild-type strains that combines rapid-cycle PCR with wild-type-specific fluorescent probe melting profiles for product genotyping. A region including the polymorphic site in VZV open reading frame (ORF) 62 was amplified in the presence of two fluorescence-labeled hybridization probes. During...
