Quantitative PCR for human herpesviruses 6 and 7
1 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
A quantitative PCR assay for the detection of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) (variants A and B) and HHV-7 DNAs in clinical samples was developed. The assay uses a nonhomologous internal standard (IS) for each virus that is coamplified with the wild-type target sequence in the same vial and with the same pair of primers. This method allows for a correction of the variability of efficiency of the PCR technique. A...
