Rapid Detection and Molecular Serotyping of Adenovirus by Use of PCR Followed by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
20 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
We have developed a PCR/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) assay for the rapid detection, identification, and serotyping of human adenoviruses. The assay employs a high-performance mass spectrometer to "weigh" the amplicons obtained from PCR using primers designed to amplify known human adenoviruses. Masses are converted to base compositions and, by comparison against a database of the genetic...
