85355-6
LaboratoryPEDV S INDEL strain S gene [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Targeted PCR-based analysis of nucleic acids within the spike (S) gene specific to the S INDEL strain of the Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and reported as a cross threshold (Ct) value. This assay is performed on various specimens, including fresh tissues (intestine), fluids (feces, intestinal content, oral fluid), fecal swabs, and other miscellaneous specimens (environmental, feed, feed pre-mix). This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's PEDV S gene In-Del differential PCR, which targets the highly conserved regions of the PEDV S gene in order to differentiate between the two strains of PEDV know to be circulating in North America: the original US strain (US PEDV prototype) [LOINC: 85356-4] and the variant US strain (S INDEL variant), represented by this term.
