Rapid detection of varicella–zoster virus infection by a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification method
13 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
The reliability of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was evaluated for rapid diagnosis of viral infection. VZV-specific primers only amplified VZV DNA; no LAMP products were observed in reactions performed with other viral DNA templates. The specificity of this method was confirmed by two independent determinations, agarose gel electrophoresis and a turbidity assay. The...
