Description
The ViPrimePLUS Human Rhinovirus 16 RT-qPCR Kit is a Taqman probe-based real-time PCR assay for the detection of Human Rhinovirus 16 genome in clinical samples (e.g. sputum, nasopharyngeal aspirate and throat swab).
Human Rhinovirus (HRV) is a single-stranded RNA virus which causes 50% of the common cold cases in human. There are 3 genetically distinct groups of HRV, i.e. group A, B and C, where approximately 100 serotypes are described. HRV 16 belongs to group A. Wheezing is the frequent manifestation of lower respiratory tract infection by HRV in young children. It is also associated with upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, and sinusitis. Recent evidence suggests that infection with HRV-C may result in more severe disease. HRV-C has a global distribution, with a prevalence intermediate with HRV-A and HRV-B. There are currently no approved antiviral therapies for HRVs, and treatment remains primarily supportive.
ViPrimePLUS Human Rhinovirus 16 RT-qPCR Kit is intended for research use only.
