Specific detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains by polymerase chain reaction
1 Jun 1990
Abstract excerpt
During the screening of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis lambda gt-11 gene library with monoclonal antibodies, we detected a recombinant clone, lambda PH7311, which contained a mycobacterial DNA insert that hybridized specifically with DNA of M. tuberculosis complex strains. Part of this insert was sequenced and used for the development of an M. tuberculosis complex-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Only...
