DETECTION OF VIRAL INFECTION

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of detecting an increased likelihood of virus infection in a subject. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of detecting an increased likelihood of virus infection in a subject by detecting an altered level of at least one microRNA (miRNA), as well as methods of treating or preventing virus infection. The present invention also relates to nucleotide arrays, oligonucleotides and kits useful for the detection of miRNAs associated with an increased likelihood of virus infection in a subject.

主权项

1. A method for determining the likelihood of virus infection in a subject, the method comprising determining the level of at least one miRNA associated with virus infection in the subject, wherein an altered level of the at least one miRNA in the subject when compared to a control is indicative of an increased likelihood of virus infection.
