Development of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for Rapid Detection of BK Virus
22 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel method for rapid amplification of DNA. Its advantages include rapidity and minimal equipment requirement. The LAMP assay was developed for BK virus (BKV), which is a leading cause of morbidity in renal transplant recipients. The characteristics of the assay, including its specificity and sensitivity, were evaluated. BKV LAMP was performed using various...
