A test panel for rapid Monkeypox virus detection using multiplex probe-based qPCR
13 Mar 2023In this application note, PCR Biosystems describes a reliable and rapid (40-70 min) multiplex assay for the detection of Monkeypox and the identification of the viral type. Monkeypox is an infectious disease in humans and other animals, which manifests with fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that forms blisters and crusts over. It may take up to 21 days to show symptoms from initial exposure, and they may last for two to four weeks. The disease is caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a zoonotic DNA virus belonging to the genus Orthopoxvirus, the same genus of variola virus (known to cause smallpox). There are teo types of MPXV affecting humans, of which clade II (formerly known as the West African clade) causes a less severe disease than the Central African / Congo basin (clade I) type.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.BiosensorsBiosensors are devices used to detect an analyte using biological molecules specific to the analyte coupled to a detector. Biosensor instruments may be photometric, typically using surface plasma resonance (SPR), electrochemical or QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) biosensors. Biosensors should be selective, portable, robust and sensitive and have a fast response time. Systems may be manual or automated and usually have associated software.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures.
