TABLE 2.
Analysis of dilution series of each genotype of HAVa
Genotype | Slope | Regression | Efficiency |
---|---|---|---|
1A | −3.131 | 0.99 | 2.09 |
1B | −3.125 | 1.00 | 2.09 |
IIA | −3.317 | 1.00 | 2.00 |
IIB | −3.526 | 0.98 | 1.92 |
IIIA | −3.448 | 1.00 | 1.95 |
Relative standard curves were derived from analysis of a 5 log10 dilution series of virus of each genotype, except IIB (7 log10 dilutions). PCR efficiency was calculated from the slope of the dilution curve using the formula E = 10(−1/slope), where E refers to PCR efficiency.
