Abstract
A method of detecting a virus in a specimen, whereby a Norwalk-like virus (GI) is detected by using as an index the nucleic acids of a complementary nucleotide sequence corresponding to the 5201- to 5700-positions of the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA of the prototype (standard strain) of the Norwalk-like virus (GI); and a detection kit for performing this method.
Claims20
A method of detecting a Norwalk-like virus (GI) in a sample comprising:
- (a) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction on a sample using at least two oligonucleotide primers, wherein each oligonucleotide primer comprises a nucleotide sequence complementary to a region of at least 10 consecutive nucleotides of positons 76 to 246 of the polynucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:16, and
- (b) detecting an amplification product, thereby detecting a Norwalk-like virus (GI) in a sample.
A method of detecting a Norwalk-like virus (GI) in a sample comprising:
- (a) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction on a sample to obtain an amplification product, said amplification product comprising a polynucleotide sequence complementary to positions 76 to 246 of SEQ ID NO:
- 16, and
- (b) detecting the amplification product using an oligonucleotide probe, said oligonucleotide probe comprising a polynucleotide sequence complementary to the amplification product.
