Calibrated Real-Time PCR Assay for Quantitation of Human Herpesvirus 8 DNA in Biological Fluids
26 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Accurate laboratory tests for the diagnosis of active human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection are becoming essential to study the pathogenesis of HHV-8-associated tumors and for the clinical management of HHV-8-infected individuals. We have developed a highly sensitive, calibrated quantitative real-time PCR assay for the measurement of cell-free HHV-8 DNA in body fluids, based on the addition of a synthetic DNA...
