Isothermal transcription based assay for the detection of HTLV I and HTLV II RNA

摘要

An isothermal transcription based amplification assay for the detection of HTLV I RNA uses primers and probes for sequences within the tax gene, the pol gene, or the gag gene. An isothermal transcription based amplification assay for the detection of HTLV II uses primers and probes for sequences within the tax gene. Target specific primers and probes are also disclosed.
