This internally controlled quantitative real-time PCR assay targets the hexon gene of adenovirus, and is validated for detection Table 1 Nucleotide sequences of primers and probes used in this study The analytical sensitivity (or limit of detection, LoD) of the homogenization with heat treatment or nucleic acid extraction, in combination with the real-time PCR, was determined using 10-fold serial dilutions (in UTM) of a cultured HAdV-C type 6. Virus stock dilutions were quantified using commercial real-time PCR assay, and the LoD for homogenization or nucleic acid extraction-based protocols were shown to be approximately equivalent (Figure 2) . ./cache/cord-000988-79fp75u3.txt ./txt/cord-000988-79fp75u3.txt
