Evaluation of Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR and Real-Time Loop-Mediated Amplification Assays for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Detection
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
We compared the performance of a recently established real-time loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) assay with the one from a highly sensitive quantitative PCR assay. None of these assays produced false-positive results in this study. For samples isolated from patients within the first 3 days of disease onset, the detection rate of the quantitative PCR assay was higher (14 of 15 were positive) than the LAMP assay...
