Sensitive and Rapid Detection of Herpes Simplex Virus and Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification method in which reagents react rapidly and efficiently, with a high specificity, under isothermal conditions. We used a LAMP assay for the detection of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The virus specificities of primers were confirmed by using 50 HSV-1, 50...
