| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis of symptomatic CMV disease, characterized in that the presence of mRNA encoding a late structural protein of the human Cytomegalovirus in a blood sample of an individual, suspected of carrying said disease, is detected, said method comprising the following steps: amplifying a target sequence within said mRNA using a primer pair capable of specifically reacting with said target sequence and suitable amplification reagents, reacting the sample, optionally containing amplified nucleic acid, with a labeled nucleic acid probe having a sequence complementary to part of the target sequence, detecting hybrids formed between the target sequence and the probe. The present invention further provides primers and probes for the amplification and detection of late pp67 HCMV mRNA.
