100344-1
LaboratoryInfluenza virus A RNA [Presence] in Saliva (oral fluid) by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This is a real-time RT-PCR for qualitative detection Influenza A virus RNA in saliva specimens. The test could be a single assay or part of a multiplex panel to detect Influenza A virus and other pathogens. The test could target a single Influenza A virus gene (e.g., the matrix protein gene) or it could target multiple genes.
