FIG. 1.

Locations and nucleotide sequences of the oligonucleotide primers and fluorescently labeled probes used in the fluorogenic PCR assay. (A) Relative locations of the primers and probes used. (B) Ascribed base pair locations based on GenBank sequences (accession number M29945). Probes were conjugated at their 5′ and 3′ ends with the fluorescent dyes 6-carboxy-fluorescein and 6-carboxy-tetramethyl-rhodamine, respectively.
