This method offers high sensitivity and selectivity, but generally requires approximately 2 h per run; therefore, qRT-PCR is not appropriate for rapid virus detection or subtyping in outbreaks of fast-spreading and/or highly pathogenic viruses at public health centers, hospitals, airports, and other public transportation hubs. The commercial reaction mixture was from the qRT-PCR kit, RNA-Direct TM SYBR ® Green Real-time PCR Master Mix (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan; http://www.toyobo.co.jp/e/). The SHRT-PCR system detects the highly conserved sequence of the corresponding viral genome, and the newly designed primer sets targeted for typing MP segments do not exhibit any cross reactions among other influenza viruses (Table 5 ). ./cache/cord-276739-84vf5bts.txt ./txt/cord-276739-84vf5bts.txt
