The Nile on eBay Diagnosis of Human Viruses by Polymerase Chain Reaction Technology by Yechiel Becker, Gholamreza Darai Viruses which integrate into the cellular DNA (such as human immunodeficiency virus, HIV -1, or hepatitis B virus) are difficult to identify by molecular techniques, while viruses which exist in the clinical material in low concentrations are even more formidable to identify. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The basis for the effective treatment and cure of a patient is the rapid diagnosis of the disease and its causative agent, which is based on the analysis of the clinical symptoms coupled with laboratory tests. Although rapid advance­ ments have been made in the laboratory diagnosis of virus diseases, the neces­ sary isolation of the causative virus from the clinical specimens is a relatively long procedure. Viruses which integrate into the cellular DNA (such as human immunodeficiency virus, HIV -1, or hepatitis B virus) are difficult to identify by molecular techniques, while viruses which exist in the clinical material in low concentrations are even more formidable to identify. Recently, the application of the polymerase chain reaction (peR) technique developed by K. D. Mullis and detailed in the study by Saiki et al. (1985) led to a revolution in virus diagnosis. The peR technique was rapidly applied to the diagnosis of viruses in clinical material. Volume 1 of Frontiers of Virology provides new information on the advan­ tages of the use of the peR for the diagnosis of many human disease-causing viruses, as well as on some problems with its use. Notes The idea that virology will continue to develop and remain at the forefront of medical science is the premise that led to Frontiers of Virology. The new series will focus on topics which relate knowledge from research in a number of biological fields to conceptual and technical breakthroughs, pushing the field of virology further ahead. Special emphasis will be put on knowledge that will help to curb virus diseases. Frontiers of Virology will therefore be of interest not only to virologists, molecular biologists, and immunologists but also to physicians with expertise in infectious diseases.
