| description | Real-time PCR is performed to detect the presence of MERS-CoV RNA in respiratory specimens (nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory aspirates/washes), serum, and stool. This code was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's primer and probe set, NCV-2012 rRT-PCR (CDC; Catalog #KT0136), which targets the nucleocapsid protein gene (NCV.N2 and NCV.N3) and upstream the MERS-CoV envelope protein gene (NCV.upE). | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus N2 gene RNA | ||
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | XXX | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Probe.amp.tar | ||
