77008-1
LaboratoryHuman coronavirus 229E+OC43 RNA [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Human coronavirus 229E is a single-stranded, positive-sense, RNA virus species in the Alphacoronavirus genus of the subfamily Coronavirinae, in the family Coronaviridae, of the order Nidovirales. Human coronavirus OC43 is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus species in the Betacoronavirus genus, of the subfamily Coronavirinae, in the family Coronaviridae, of the order Nidovirales. [Wikipedia] This assay tests for Human coronavirus 229E and OC43 RNA but does not distinguish between them.
