Abstract excerpt
DNA from 101 specimens containing herpes simplex virus (HSV) produced atypical intermediate melting curves compared with those expected for HSV type 1 or HSV type 2 subsequent to real-time PCR. Nucleic acid sequence analysis of amplified target DNA revealed 1- or 3-bp polymorphisms in the probe region which allowed designation of these viruses as HSV genotype 1 or HSV genotype 2. These two subpopulations of HSV...
