Abstract

The rapidSTRIPE H1N1 test, based on a nucleic acid lateral-flow assay, has been developed for diagnosis of a swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus. This test is simple and cost-effective and allows specific detection of the S-OIV A (H1N1) virus from swab sampling to final detection on a lateral-flow stripe within 2 to 3 h.

Sensitivity of LFS assay. Serial dilutions of the viral strain A/Hamburg/04/2009 were used to evaluate the sensitivity of the LFA assay and compare it with the reference method, RT-quantitative PCR (qPCR). Test strip control lines were visible for all samples. Detection lines were visible below the test line for the first four dilutions of viral samples.
