Use of Reverse Transcriptase PCR To Subtype N1 to N9 Neuraminidase Genes of Avian Influenza Viruses
30 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcriptase PCR designed to amplify the N1 to N9 neuraminidase (NA) genes of avian influenza viruses detected 118 of the 119 NA genes tested (99.2%) in a subtype-specific manner. This technique successfully subtyped all 167 recent avian influenza viruses isolated from birds. Subtype specificity was confirmed by sequence analyses of all 285 PCR products.
