  • Oligonucleotides for detecting chicken astrovirus
    Patent number: 8617850
    Abstract: There is provided an oligonucleotide sequence capable of binding to a portion of a CAstV genome, wherein the oligonucleotide sequence has binding specificity to the precapsid region of CAstV or to cDNA of the precapsid region. The oligonucleotide sequence can be one of a primer pair for use in a method for detecting the presence of CAstV in a biological sample by reverse transcription followed by amplification of the reverse transcription products using such primer pair, or a method for amplifying CAstV cDNA using such primer pair.
    Type: Grant
