Mm. Lesperance et al., PCR DETECTION OF HUMAN CYTOMEGALOVIRUS DNA IN CLINICAL SPECIMENS USING NOVEL UL37 EXON-3 AND US3 PRIMERS, Clinical and diagnostic laboratory immunology, 5(2), 1998, pp. 256-258
The sensitivity and specificity of novel UL37 exon 3 (UL37x3) and US3
immediate-early (IE) gene PCR primers to detect human cytomegalovirus
(HCMV) DNA in clinical specimens are comparable to those of HCMV DNA p
olymerase (UL54) primers. The use of these IE primers increases the di
agnostic performance of HCMV PCR.
