Abstract excerpt
A real-time RT-PCR assay based on the primer-probe energy transfer (PriProET) was developed to detect all 24 serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV). BTV causes serious disease, primarily in sheep, but in other ruminants as well. A distinguishing characteristic of the assay is its tolerance toward mutations in the probe region. Furthermore, melting curve analysis following immediately PCR confirms specific probe...
