HHV8

PRODUCT DETAIL

The PCR kit is designed for Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) detection by the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.

The HHV-8 detection consists in amplification of the specific conservative DNA sequence of the ORF26 gene coding the minor capsid protein (mCP) and ORF73 gene coding the latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) and in measurement of fluorencence increase. The HHV-8 presence is indicated by FAM fluorophor fluorescence growth. An Internal Standard (IS) is either included in the reaction mix, controlling the possible inhibition of the PCR (ISIN version) or excluded, controlling also the DNA extraction process quality (ISEX version). IS positive amplification is detected in the HEX fluorophore fluorescence channel. The detection kit takes advantage of the "hot start" technology, minimizing non-specific reactions and assuring maximum sensitivity. Ready to Use MasterMix contains uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UDG), eliminating possible contamination of the PCR with amplification products. The kit is designed for in vitro diagnostics and provides qualitative and quantitative detection.
