Methods of Detecting and Identifying Both Known and Novel Influenza Viruses
- Pre-clinical
- In vitro data available
The reagents and methods of this particular technology are capable of detecting any type of influenza virus (such as influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and influenza C virus) in a sample, including novel or previously unknown influenza viruses. Such methods and compositions are useful for diagnosing influenza virus infection in humans and animals.
- Method of rapid, accurate subtype-screening of influenza viruses using "pan-influenza" RT-PCR
- Diagnostic tool for clinicians, veterinarians, public health programs, food-safety officials, researchers and forensic scientists
- A full-spectrum, sensitive and specific assay for identification of influenza viruses, known and novel
- Easily adaptable for commercial production
