Marked Variability of BK Virus Load Measurement Using Quantitative Real-Time PCR among Commonly Used Assays
19 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
BK virus (BKV) is the infectious cause of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy. Screening guidelines for renal-transplant recipients define levels of viremia and viruria that are actionable for additional testing or intervention. However, standardized real-time PCR primers, probes, and standards are unavailable, and the extent of agreement among published assays is unknown. We compared seven TaqMan real-time PCR...
