Abstract excerpt
A quantitative real time PCR assay utilizing an Eclipse minor groove binding hybridization probe was developed to detect and type human herpes 6. A 115 base pair product from the U67 gene was selected for amplification and the assay included a noncompetitive internal control. The probe's melting temperature from the amplified sequence differentiated between HHV6 variants (A and B). In this study, 120 samples (60...
