| pcr-probe capture hybridization assay and statistical model for sen virus prevalence estimation. | sen viruses (senv) are newly discovered blood-borne single-stranded circular dna viruses that may play a role in liver disease. to date, no serologic assays are available for the detection of senv antigens or antibodies. we report on a rapid and sensitive molecular assay for the detection of four senv strains (senv-a, -c, -d, -h). this method uses pcr with universal primers and microwell capture hybridization with type-specific probes. cut-off points to define "infected" based on chemiluminescen ... | 2004 | 15042659 |
