Human Rhinovirus 87 Identified as Human Enterovirus 68 by VP4-Based Molecular Diagnosis
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are the major cause of respiratory infections. We developed a diagnostic method for HRVs based on the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and VP4-based phylogenetic analysis. A set of primers used in the RT-PCR of human enteroviruses (EVs) appeared to be capable of amplifying all prototype strains of HRVs, each of which generated a 530-bp fragment. The single...
