Multiplex detection of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes using the qHRP2/3-del assay. (A) The qHRP2/3-del assay amplifies pfhrp2, pfhrp3 and pfrnr2e2 target sequences in a multiplex qPCR reaction and correctly identifies strains carrying either a pfhrp2 deletion (PfDD2), a pfhrp3 deletion (PfHB3) or no deletion (PfNF54). (B) Performance characteristic of each individual amplification assay, run within the multiplex qHRP2/3-del assay, is shown. Correlation with high linearity between serially diluted WHO international standard for P. falciparum NATs (PfIS) and Cq values was obtained and used to calculate the qPCR efficiency. Cq values above 40 (black line) are considered negative.
