Development of three multiplex RT-PCR assays for the detection of 12 respiratory RNA viruses 2005-02-24 .txt text/plain 6064 334 51 Three multiplex hemi-nested RT-PCR assays were developed to detect simultaneously 12 RNA respiratory viruses: influenza viruses A, B and C, human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), parainfluenza virus types 1–4 (PIV-1, -2, -3 and -4), human coronavirus OC43 and 229E (HCoV) and rhinovirus (hRV). The overall sensitivity (98%), rapidity and enhanced efficiency of these multiplex hemi-nested RT-PCR assays suggest that they would be a significant improvement over conventional methods for the detection of a broad spectrum of respiratory viruses. The aim of this study was to develop rapid, sensitive and specific molecular methods for the detection of a large panel of respiratory RNA viruses that are more powerful than Co-infections hRV + PIV-3 1 hRV + PIV-1 1 hRV + PIV-1 + hMPV 1 hRV + hRSV + hMPV 1 hRV + influenza A virus 1 hRV + hRSV 2 Total no.
