"Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) is a unique gene amplification method that can be completed within 45 min at 63 degrees C. In this study, RT-LAMP was used to develop a rapid and sensitive laboratory diagnostic system for the H9 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV)," scientists in Lanzhou, People's Republic of China report. "The experiment results from the reference strains demonstrated that the established RT-LAMP sensitivity was 10-fold higher than that...
