PROBE FOR DETECTING VIRUS
20170356912 · 2017-12-14 ·

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a probe for detecting six representative causative viruses of acute enteritis (norovirus genogroup I and genogroup II, rotavirus, hepatitis A virus, coxsackievirus, astrovirus, and adenovirus), and a DNA microarray, a kit, and a detection method comprising the composition. The present invention is effective due to high specificity and sensitivity to viruses. In addition, since the causative viruses can simply be detected at low cost compared to conventional detection methods, without expensive diagnosis devices or specialists, the present invention may be effectively used as a method for diagnosing viruses causing acute enteritis.
