摘要: Background: Adenoviruses (AdVs) can cause serious disease in immunosuppressed patients, particularly those undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation. A method for virus quantification clinical specimens is essential monitoring patient adenoviral loads and evaluating new therapeutic approaches. Methods: We developed a PCR-based assay that combines detection genotyping of human AdVs, targeting highly conserved region the genome coding DNA polymerase (AdV DPol PCR). tested diagnostic applicability this by analyzing 159 from children with respiratory comparing results obtained nested PCR analysis. Results: The detected all currently known AdV serotypes, limit ∼10 equivalents per reaction 49 51 serotypes. No cross-reactivity to or other viruses was observed. In addition, PCR-positive samples achieved within minutes fluorescence curve melting analysis LightCycler instrument using 6 pairs hybridization probes, each specific single species. Results were good concordance PCR. Conclusion: presented suitable tool AdVs samples.
