A real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assay that targeted both the mumps virus F gene and human RNase P in clinical samples was adapted for use with the LightCycler platform. LightCycler RT-PCR is as sensitive as conventional nested RT-PCR and significantly less expensive and labor-intensive, making it ideal for mumps diagnosis during outbreaks.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009107 Mumps An acute infectious disease caused by RUBULAVIRUS, spread by direct contact, airborne droplet nuclei, fomites contaminated by infectious saliva, and perhaps urine, and usually seen in children under the age of 15, although adults may also be affected. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Parotitis, Epidemic,Epidemic Parotitides,Epidemic Parotitis,Parotitides, Epidemic
D009109 Mumps virus The type species of RUBULAVIRUS that causes an acute infectious disease in humans, affecting mainly children. Transmission occurs by droplet infection. Epidemic Parotitis Virus,Myxovirus parotitidis,Epidemic Parotitis Viruses,Mumps viruses
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012367 RNA, Viral Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral RNA
D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D014760 Viral Fusion Proteins Proteins, usually glycoproteins, found in the viral envelopes of a variety of viruses. They promote cell membrane fusion and thereby may function in the uptake of the virus by cells. Fusion Proteins, Viral,Viral Fusion Glycoproteins,F Protein (Sendai Virus),F Protein Measles Virus,F Protein Newcastle Disease Virus,F Protein SV,F-Glycoprotein SV,F1 Polypeptide (Paramyxovirus),Fusion Glycoprotein, Viral,Fusion VP1 Protein,Glycoprotein, Viral Fusion,Measles Fusion Protein,Mumps Virus Fusion Protein,Paramyxovirus Fusion Protein,Sendai Virus Fusion Protein,Viral Fusion-GP,Virus Fusion Proteins,Fusion Glycoproteins, Viral,Fusion Protein, Measles,Fusion Protein, Paramyxovirus,Fusion Proteins, Virus,Fusion-GP, Viral,Glycoproteins, Viral Fusion,Proteins, Virus Fusion,VP1 Protein, Fusion,Viral Fusion GP,Viral Fusion Glycoprotein
D043262 Ribonuclease P An RNA-containing enzyme that plays an essential role in tRNA processing by catalyzing the endonucleolytic cleavage of TRANSFER RNA precursors. It removes the extra 5'-nucleotides from tRNA precursors to generate mature tRNA molecules. Ribonuclease P, RNA Catalytic Subunit,RNA Catalytic Subunit, Ribonuclease P,RNase P
D020133 Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction A variation of the PCR technique in which cDNA is made from RNA via reverse transcription. The resultant cDNA is then amplified using standard PCR protocols. Polymerase Chain Reaction, Reverse Transcriptase,Reverse Transcriptase PCR,PCR, Reverse Transcriptase,Transcriptase PCR, Reverse
