Zhang Y, Kong W, Wu Y, Chen Z, Zhao X, Liu M. Reducing amplification cycles to improve the coverage of influenza A virus genome sequencing in heterosubtypic co-infection. J Virol Methods. 2024 Sep 20:115036
This study delineates the enhancement of a Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method for the amplification of the complete genome of the influenza A virus during heterosubtypic co-infection, relying on the amplification of intact gene segments. The precision of the method was assessed using all amplicons, which underwent both capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. Five samples featuring co-infection of Influenza A viruses with H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes were evaluated. The improved strategy successfully amplified all eight segments of H3N2 strains in four samples, and the entire genome of H1N1 strains in three samples.
