Rapid Diagnosis of Human Herpesvirus 6 Infection by a Novel DNA Amplification Method, Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
A novel nucleic acid amplification method, termed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which amplifies DNA with high specificity, efficiency, and rapidity under isothermal conditions, may be a valuable tool for the rapid detection of infectious agents. LAMP was developed for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), and its reliability was evaluated in this study. Although LAMP products were detected in HHV-6 B and...
