Molecular Methods for Virus Detection

ISBN: 9780127489209 出版年：1995 页码：405 Academic Press_RM

Molecular diagnostic procedures have been described in a number of recent books and articles. However, these publications have not focused on virus detection, nor have they provided practical protocols for the newer molecular methods. Written by the inventors or principal developers of these technologies, Molecular Methods for Virus Detection provides both reviews of individual methods and instructions for detecting virus nucleic acid sequences in clinical specimens. Each procedure includes quality assurance protocols that are often ignored by other methodology books. Molecular Methods for Virus Detection provides clinically relevant procedures for many of the newer diagnostic methodologies.Provides state-of-the-art PCR methods for amplification, quantitation, in situ hybridization, and multiplex reactionsGoes beyond PCR with protocols for 3SR, NASBA, LCR, SDA, and LATCovers important virus detection methods such as in situ hybridization; Southern, dot, and slot blots; branched chain signal amplification; and chemiluminescenceIncludes quality control information crucial in research and clinical laboratoriesMost chapters are written by the inventors and principal developers of the methodologiesIncludes color plates, 77 figures, and 18 tables
