## Abstract A simplified assay for the diagnosis of varicellazoster virus (VZV) infections based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described. Omitting the procedures for extraction and purification of DNA, the crude vesicle fluid materials were used for PCR. Moreover, hybridization was not
## Abstract The diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children born to HIVβinfected mothers is complicated by the presence of passively acquired maternal antibodies, and exclusion of infection in these infants remains problematic. The use of genome detection by polymerase cha
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus is one of the main causes of chronic hepatitis in developing countries. The current study was to evaluate the efficacy of the enzymeβlinked immunosorbent assay third generation (ELISAβ3) for detection of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (antiβHCV) in comparison with rev
The newly developed immunoblot assay, RlBA SIA (recombinant and synthetic polypeptide immunoblot assay), Chiron, Calif., was compared with the commercially available second generation recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA-2) for the detection of antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). The two immunob
