Comparison of methods for cultivation and isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis.

abstract：:A real-time quantitative PCR assay has been developed to measure human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) DNA in biological specimens. The assay sensitivity was 10 copies of DNA per well, with a linear dynamic range of 10 to 10(7) copies of HHV-6 DNA. Intra- and interassay variations were, respectively, 0.88 and 0.8% for samples c...
