Comparative evaluation of the sensitivity of the CT12-mCODEHOP and CT12-oCODEHOP primer sets toward copy virus RNA templates. The performance of the two primer sets was compared using the one-step RT-PCR assay, and 10-fold dilution series of quantified cRNA templates produced for 5 coronaviruses and one torovirus. Additionally, the effect of the presence of 1010 copies of cellular RNA (bRNA) per reaction on the performance of the CT12-mCODEHOP primer set was analyzed. Shown are portions of agarose gel electrophoresis images with virus-specific bands.
