A TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), based on amplification of HCMV UL54 gene specific sequence, was developed and compared with shell vial viral culture assay, the gold standard technique for the diagnosis of congenital HCMV infection, using urine samples collected from 110 newborns. The results indicate that this qPCR is slightly more sensitive than shell vial assay suggesting that qPCR may be considered a useful alternative for diagnosing congenital HCMV infection.
基于人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)UL54基因特异性序列扩增的TaqMan实时定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)技术被开发出来,并与空斑小室病毒培养检测法进行了比较。空斑小室病毒培养检测法是诊断先天性HCMV感染的金标准技术。研究使用了从110名新生儿收集的尿液样本。结果表明,这种qPCR技术比空斑小室检测法的敏感性略高,这表明qPCR技术可被视为诊断先天性HCMV感染的一种有用的替代方法。
