Title:
GENERIC ASSAYS FOR DETECTION OF INFLUENZA VIRUSES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015165806
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide genetic assays for detection of influenza viruses.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to generic methods for the detection and quantification of influenza viruses. These methods may use a reverse transcription (RT-PCR) real time (q-PCR) assay which amplifies a conserved region within influenza A or B strains. The assays allow the quantification of influenza virus RNA molecules or whole virus particles, irrespective of the particular virus strain (e.g. human, avian, swine flu). The methods are particularly applicable as diagnostic assays or in the monitoring of vaccine production processes.
