Detection of human influenza A viruses by loop-mediated isothermal amplification.

ABSTRACT: Here we describe the use of the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method to detect human influenza viruses (H1 to H3). Our results were correlated 100% with results deduced from routine clinical diagnostic tests. In addition, we also developed a LAMP assay specific for human beta-actin cDNA as a quality control test.
