Sensitivity and specificity of RT-LAMP assay. (a) Sensitivity comparison of RT-LAMP assay (upper panel) and conventional RT-PCR (lower panel) for detection of IAVs using M gene primers, was performed using ten-fold serial dilutions of influenza A/California/7/2009(H1N1) strain with concentrations ranging from 100 to 0.0001 PFU/reaction tube. Detection limit of RT-LAMP assay was 0.01 PFU/reaction (upper panel) while conventional RT-PCR (lower panel) showed a detection limit of 0.1 PFU/reaction making RT-LAMP assay ten times more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR. Lane M, 100 bp DNA marker. (b) Influenza pdm09/H1N1 specific RT-LAMP reaction virus using HA gene primers was applied on other respiratory viruses to check the specificity of the reaction. Agarose electrophoresis profile of the RT-LAMP reaction products; lane M, 100 bp DNA maker; lane 1, no template control; lane 2, influenza A pdm09/H1N1; lane 3, influenza A/H1N1; lane 4, influenza A/H3N2; lane 5, influenza B virus; lane 6, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); lane 7, human metapneumovirus (hMPV).
