SPECIFIC DETECTION OF SARS-COV-2 VARIANTS B.1.1.7 (ALPHA) AND B.1.617.2 (DELTA) USING A ONE-STEP QUANTITATIVE PCR ASSAY
2021-10-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In this report, we describe the development of an RT-qPCR assay, termed Alpha Delta assay, which can detect SARS-COV-2 (SC-2) and distinguish between the Alpha (B.1.1.7) and Delta (B.1.617.2) variants. The Alpha- and Delta-specific reactions in the assay target mutations that are strongly linked to the target variant. The Alpha reaction targets the D3L substitution in N gene, and the Delta reacti...
