Swine and equine influenza virus isolates and the clinical samples from pigs infected experimentally with 2009 (H1N1)v were subjected to the USDA-validated qRT-PCR procedure for the general detection of type A influenza virus RNA (matrix screening assay), following procedures described previously (Spackman and Suarez, 2008) . All endemic North American swine influenza virus isolates were negative for (H1N1) 2009 specific matrix gene RNA using the present qRT-PCR assay, whereas the (H1N1) 2009 strains used as positive control were positive. ./cache/cord-322234-1zyy536y.txt ./txt/cord-322234-1zyy536y.txt
