Abstract excerpt
A single-nucleotide polymorphism detection assay using PCR with quenching probes (QP-PCR) was developed for the rapid detection of antiviral drug-resistance mutations of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). The mutations examined were in the HHV-6 U69 gene, and were single-base mutations in sequences known to be associated with ganciclovir (GCV) resistance in HCMV. We previously confirmed that they conferred GCV...
