Title:
METHODS OF TESTING FOR INTRACELLULAR PATHOGENS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/110955
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A first intracellular pathogen in a biological sample that may contain more than one intracellular pathogen is studied by a method comprising the steps of (i) contacting the sample with a population of cells in the presence of an agent inhibiting the reproduction of a second intracellular pathogen; (ii) incubating the cells under conditions that permit the reproduction of the first intracellular pathogen; and (iii) testing material arising from step (ii) for the first intracellular pathogen.
