Abstract
Dengue virus replication involves synthesis of a replicative intermediate RNA (RI-RNA), whose presence reveals an actual infection. We report on a simple and rapid reverse transcription-PCR for the detection of viral RI-RNA in infected cells. The product is demonstrated at 20 min postinfection. This method is useful for the study of virus-cell tropism.Entities:
