  • Pathogen inactivation assay
    Publication number: 20040170954
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for determining the level of potentially active biological pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria (including inter- and intracellular bacteria, such as mycoplasmas, ureaplasmas, nanobacteria, chlamydia, rickettsias), fungi (including yeasts) and single cell parasites, which may be found in a biological material. The present invention particularly relates to methods of determining the level of potentially active biological pathogens in a biological material using quantitative PCR.
