Reevaluating and Optimizing Polyomavirus BK and JC Real-Time PCR Assays To Detect Rare Sequence Polymorphisms
17 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
PCR-based molecular assays have a central role in polyomavirus diagnostics. To assure optimal performance, target sequences should be regularly updated according to newly available sequences. The aim of this study was to review our in-house polyomavirus BK (BKV) and JC (JCV) real-time PCR assays. Database analysis revealed variations in the BKV target region which might affect the assay performance, while no...
