Description
The ViPrimePLUS Human Influenza A Virus subtype H1 RT-qPCR Kit is a Taqman probe-based real-time PCR assay for the detection of Human Influenza A Virus subtype H1 genome in clinical samples (e.g. nasopharyngeal swab and blood).
Influenza virus is a RNA virus which infects birds and mammals. Transmission is via contact with bodily fluid of infected person or animals. Symptoms of influenza disease are often confused with the less severe common cold, such as fever, sore throat, muscle and headaches, cough and fatigue. In persistent infection, it could develop into pneumonia that is fatal to children and elderly. The 3 types of influenza are influenza A, influenza B and the low epidemiological concern influenza C. Subtypes are termed based on the surface glycoprotein types, i.e. hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). In human, type A and B are the common typical seasonal flu, resulting in 300,000 deaths yearly and up to millions in pandemic years. Pandemic usually occurs when the influenza virus acquire ability via mutation and gene reassortment to cross-infect between animals and human. Influenza A consists of only 1 species, infecting mainly birds and some mammals. Examples of major influenza A pandemics are the 2009 H1N1 flu (swine flu) and 2003 H5N1 flu (avian influenza) outbreaks, recording more than 50% mortality rate.
ViPrimePLUS Human Influenza A Virus subtype H1 RT-qPCR Kit is intended for research use only.
