Sensitive Commercial NASBA Assay for the Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Clinical Specimen
The aim of the study was to evaluate the usability of three diagnostic procedures for the detection of respiratory syncytial virus in clinical samples. Therefore, the FDA cleared CE marked NOW(R) RSV ELISA, the NucliSENS EasyQ RSV A+B NASBA, and a literature based inhouse RT-PCR protocol were compared for their relative sensitivities. Thereby, NASBA turned out to be the most sensitive method wi...
متن کاملRapid and sensitive real-time assay for the detection of respiratory syncytial virus using RT-SIBA®
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most common causes of respiratory tract infections among young children and the elderly. Timely and accurate diagnosis of respiratory tract infections improves patient care and minimizes unnecessary prescriptions of antibiotics. We sought to develop a rapid nucleic acid tests for the detection of RSV within minutes, while retaining the ...
متن کاملRapid and highly sensitive qualitative real-time assay for detection of respiratory syncytial virus A and B using NASBA and molecular beacon technology.
The performance of a sensitive and specific qualitative respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) assay based on NASBA technology and real-time molecular beacon detection is presented. Very low detection limits for both RSV A and RSV B were determined: 95% detection hit-rate of 95 and 47 copies/input in isolation for RSV A and RSV B, respectively. RSV was detected in a wide variety of clinical samples ...
متن کاملEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of respiratory syncytial virus infection: application to clinical samples.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for respiratory syncytial virus antigens was applied to the rapid diagnosis of acute infections in children and was compared with viral culture and immunofluorescence tests. The ELISA test employed commercially available reagents and was run on a day-to-day basis as specimens were received in the laboratory. Sensitivity and specificity by ELISA were ...
متن کاملA Sensitive Assay for Virus Discovery in Respiratory Clinical Samples
In 5-40% of respiratory infections in children, the diagnostics remain negative, suggesting that the patients might be infected with a yet unknown pathogen. Virus discovery cDNA-AFLP (VIDISCA) is a virus discovery method based on recognition of restriction enzyme cleavage sites, ligation of adaptors and subsequent amplification by PCR. However, direct discovery of unknown pathogens in nasophary...
