| detection of loa loa-specific dna in blood from occult-infected individuals. | accurate and specific diagnosis of human loiasis is of crucial importance in an endemic area where two-thirds of infected individuals are without circulating microfilariae (occult loiasis). by using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and specific primers to the repeat 3 region (15r3) of the gene coding for loa loa 15-kda polyprotein antigen, dna was amplified from total blood lysate of occult-infected subjects. a 396-bp dna fragment was specifically detected. we tested the specificity of this m ... | 1997 | 9225766 |
