Abstract
Provided herein is a method of detecting the presence of influenza virus in a sample while minimizing false positives due to presence of one or more other pathogens in the sample, the method including measuring the enzymatic activity of neuraminidase (NA) in the sample under one or more differentiating conditions selected from the group consisting of pH, binding to anti-NanA antibody, size exclusion, hemagglutinin (HA) binding, chemical inhibition, and combinations thereof.
