RV Armored RNA constructed in the laboratory was shown to be resistant to RNase and DNase digestion. It could remain stable at 4 degrees C for at least 60 days, and was much more stable than RV strain TR23 [corrected] in normal human plasma. Therefore it could be used as stable, well-characterized positive control and standard for quantitative RT-PCR assay.
