SARS-CoV-2 N gene dropout and N gene Ct value shift as indicator for the presence of B.1.1.7 lineage in a widely used commercial multiplex PCR assay
2021-03-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> Increased importance in detection and surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 has been demonstrated due to the emergence of variants of concern (VOCs). In this study we evaluated if a commercially available real-time SARS-CoV-2 PCR assay can identify B.1.1.7 lineage samples by a specific N gene dropout or Ct value shift compared to the S or RdRP gene. <h4>Methods</h4> Patients samples with confirmed B.1.1.7...
