The NASBA-derived primers performed comparably to other broadly reactive GII Norovirus primers with respect to detection limits (i.e. 1 RT-PCR amplifiable unit (RT-PCRU) per reaction). Detection limits improved by approximately 1 log(10) to 0.3 RT-PCRU per reaction when transcriptional enhancement and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) hybridization followed RT-PCR. The method shows promise for improved detection sensitivity in instances where very low levels of virus contamination might be anticipated.}, number={2}, journal={FEMS MICROBIOLOGY LETTERS}, author={Jean, J and D D'Souza and Jaykus, LA}, year={2003}, month={Sep}, pages={339–345} }
