Data on chickenpox vaccines described by researchers at Westmead Hospital
October 29th, 2008
A new study, 'Differentiation between vaccine and wild-type varicella-zoster virus genotypes by high-resolution melt analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms,' is now available. "The analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) has enabled differentiation between wild-type genotypes from the Oka vaccine strain (V-Oka). To genotype VZV strains in Australia using high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis of SNPs in five gene targets," scientists writing in the Journal of Clinical Virology report. "Extracted DNA from 78 samples obtained from patients with chickenpox and zoster were genotyped by HRM analysis of SNPs in five open...
