Adenovirus can establish persistent infections which may reactivate and cause disease in immunocompromised hosts. Lymphocytes have been postulated to serve as a site of adenoviral persistence based upon the ability to isolate adenovirus from tonsils and to detect adenovirus DNA by Southern blot hybr

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease where both endogenous (genetic) and exogenous (environmental) factors play a part. Viral infections, in particular herpesvirus infections, have been identified as a possible triggering factor for pemphigus. In this study, using the polymerase chain reaction, we stu
The clinical performance of a modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing algorithm was evaluated for confirming the presence of HIV-1 proviral DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. A whole cell lysate, rather than phenol-purified DNA, was used for PCR amplification, under systematically o
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was applied to detect cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA. Two pairs of synthetic oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify DNA from the immediate early 1 and the late antigen genes of CMV, respectively. Either primer sets could detect as few as 0.01 plaque-forming
