Improved multiplex-PCR and microarray for herpesvirus detection from CSF
2008, Journal of Clinical VirologyCitation Excerpt :DNA controls of HSV-1 strain MacIntyre, HSV-2 G, CMV AD169, EBV B95-8, HHV-7 H7-4, HHV-6A U1102, HHV-6B Z-29, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) Rod (Advanced Biotechnologies, Columbia, MD) were used for dilution series. Twenty-two CSFs were collected from specimens tested with HSV-PCR (Piiparinen and Vaheri, 1991; Vesanen et al., 1996), and VZV-PCR (Echevarria et al., 1994; Koskiniemi et al., 1997) at HUSLAB (Helsinki, Finland). Ten CSFs were positive for HSV-1 or HSV-2, 10 for VZV, and two were negative.
Primary Human Herpesvirus-6 Infection in the Central Nervous System Can Cause Severe Disease
2007, Pediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The sample was considered positive if the relative light unit signal was >7-fold higher than the background signal. The polymerase chain reactions to herpes simplex virus-1, herpes simplex virus-2, and varicella zoster virus from cerebrospinal fluid were performed as described [22,23]. Antibodies to human herpesvirus-6 were examined using an in-house indirect immunofluorescence test, and titers are indicated as the reciprocal of the sample dilution [24].
Multiplex-PCR and oligonucleotide microarray for detection of eight different herpesviruses from clinical specimens
2006, Journal of Clinical VirologyClinical applications of chemiluminescence
2003, Analytica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The LOCI-type assay described in the previous section has also been adapted for nucleic acid assays, e.g. single-nucleotide polymorphism typing [52]. Other chemiluminescent nucleic acid-based assays include infectious disease testing in combination with nucleic acid amplification techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction [e.g. telomere DNA [53], herpes simplex [54], Lassa fever virus (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method) [55], papillomavirus in cervical scrapes [56], and Trichomonas vaginalis (detects <12 organisms) [57]. Western blotting for proteins (e.g. a Western blot for Na+/H+ exchanger isoform-1 in the study of inflammatory bowel disease [58]), Southern blotting for DNA and Northern blotting for RNA, are important techniques in clinical research and chemiluminescent end-points have been developed for each of these types of assay.
