  • Clinical assays for the detection and typing of human herpesviruses
    Patent number: 7348145
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of unambiguously identifying a human herpesvirus in a sample. The assays, which allow for the detection and typing of all ten human herpesviruses, involve multiplex PCR assays using consensus primers to amplify conserved regions of the herpesvirus DNA. A dot blot/chemiluminescence assay and real time PCR assay ideal for clinical setting were disclosed. A heteroduplex mobility assay suitable for uses in research laboratory was also presented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 14, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2008
    Assignee: The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System
