Evaluation of the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II kit
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II kit is designed for use in the transcription and amplification of the 5’UTR or NS5B regions of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome. RealTime-PCR amplification is conducted in three separate reaction mixtures with different fluorophores where genotypespecific probes are used to detect HCV genotypes 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 such that: • Reaction A detects all HCV isolates, subtype 1a and genotype 3 • Reaction B detects genotype 2, subtype 1b and genotype 1 • Reaction C detects genotype 4, 5 and 6.

Performance of the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II RUO assay.
The Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II RUO (research use only) assay was evaluated using the automated Abbott RealTime m2000 system. Concordance was 98% (81/83 samples) with samples previously typed by the Versant HCV Genotype 2.0 RUO system with manual extraction. The total assay time was reduced from 10.5 to 6.0 h and hands-on time from 13 to 4 min/patient sample.

متن کاملEvaluation of the Abbott investigational use only RealTime hepatitis C virus (HCV) assay and comparison to the Roche TaqMan HCV analyte-specific reagent assay.
The accurate and sensitive measurement of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is essential for the clinical management and treatment of infected patients and as a research tool for studying the biology of HCV infection. We evaluated the linearity, reproducibility, precision, limit of detection, and concordance of viral genotype quantitation of the Abbott investigational use only RealTime HCV (RealTime)...
متن کاملPerformance of the Abbott RealTime and Roche Cobas TaqMan hepatitis C virus (HCV) assays for quantification of HCV genotypes.
We evaluated the Abbott RealTime (ART) and Roche Cobas TaqMan Hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load assays for quantification of HCV genotypes in patient specimens. The ART HCV assay was a more sensitive and precise tool for accurate HCV viral load quantification across the HCV genotypes tested, especially genotype 1b.
