Hi-PCR® Dengue Serotyping Probe PCR Kit

Dengue virus (DENV) is a single-stranded RNA virus comprising mainly four distinct serotypes (DEN?1 to 4). These closely related serotypes of the dengue virus belong to the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, and are transmitted by Aedes spp. mosquitoes. After an incubation period of 4-10 days, infection by any of the four nvirus serotypes can produce a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations spanning asymptomatic infection, dengue fever (DF), and severe dengue, a category that includes entities previously classified as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® Dengue Serotyping Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect the polyprotein gene of Dengue serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4 in FAM, JOE, Cy5 and TexasRed channels respectively with Internal Control in Cy5.5 channel in a single tube reaction.The kit allows sensitive and specific detection of Dengue serotypes 1?4 in a single tube reaction.
