Molecular assays valuable in diagnosis and strain identification.(Brief Article)
2002 MAR 13 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- by Terry Hartnett, senior medical writer - Scientists have not applied the same standards for diagnosing the cause of common viruses as they do for detecting the influenza virus, say U.S. government researchers.
If they could pinpoint the exact molecule causing a strain of flu, public health officials might have a better idea of which ones can run rampant and cause pandemics. This, in turn, could lead vaccine developers to a product that would most likely diminish these more serious outbreaks, argue J. K. Taubenberger and colleagues at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rockville, Maryland.
Molecular assays are a highly effective means of determining the pathogens associated with influenza as well as other viruses, say the U.S. government researchers.
"The extreme genetic variability of influenza viruses makes the design of useful molecular-based assays challenging, but several different approaches have been used," reports Taubenberger and associates. Using assays to diagnosis flu and define ...
