| equine herpesvirus-4 kinetics in peripheral blood leukocytes and nasopharyngeal secretions in foals using quantitative real-time taqman pcr. | based on the hypothesis that the viral load of cells infected with ehv-4 will likely change during the course of disease, taqman pcr was used to investigate and characterize the kinetics of ehv-4 viral dna load (glycoprotein b gene) and transcriptional activity (glycoprotein b and latency-associated transcripts) in peripheral blood leukocytes (pbls) and nasopharyngeal secretions (nss) collected from 11 foals during a field outbreak of respiratory disease. the ehv-4 dna load in pbls was low and o ... | 2005 | 16475518 |
