Y. Hayase et al., DETECTION OF NUCLEOPROTEIN GENE OF SENDAI VIRUS IN THE LUNGS OF RATS BY TOUCHDOWN NESTED REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION-POLYMERASE CHAIN-REACTION, Experimental animals, 46(4), 1997, pp. 307-310
The nucleoprotein (NP) gene of Sendai virus was detected by touchdown
nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the
lungs of a rat presented with respiratory illness and high serum ELIS
A titer to Sendai virus. This method seemed to be of value in controll
ing infection in laboratory rodents.
