Development of a Reverse Transcriptase Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for the Sensitive Detection of Leishmania Parasites in Clinical Samples
26 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Here we describe a generic, reverse transcriptase-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay, for the identification of Leishmania species from clinical samples. LAMP is an isothermal reaction recently developed as a point-of-care diagnostic tool. Primers were designed in the conserved region of the 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene; amplification was visualized by the pre-amplification addition of...
