  • Procedure for the detection and identification of viral and subviral pathogens
    Patent number: 5714312
    Abstract: A method for detecting and quantifying viral or subviral pathogens in the test sample in which antibodies against a component of the viral or subviral pathogen is immobilized on a substrate. The test sample is placed in contact with the immobilized antibody and then a DNA primer complementary to a fragment or the total genome of the viral or subviral pathogen is permitted to hybridize to the RNA or DNA of the immobilized viral or subviral pathogen. The DNA is then amplified and the amplification products are detected and quantified.
