    摘要: Disclosed herein are lysis reagents for lysing red blood cells, thereby releasing an analyte, such as RNA from a host or pathogen, in a form suitable for analysis. The reagent includes at least a buffer, a detergent and one or both of a chloride containing salt and an anti-coagulant. The reagent serves to lyse blood cells, protect the released analyte from degradation in the lysate, and is compatible with subsequent steps for analysis of the analyte such as target capture, amplification, detection, or sequencing.

    摘要: The invention relates to the field of viral diagnosis. In particular, it is directed to a method for diagnosing a viral infection or a disease associated therewith in a subject comprising the steps of: (a) determining in a sample of said subject the amount of at least one biomarker selected from the group of 3′(,5′-di)deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro furanose derivatives of formula (I) with the exception of 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-cytidine (ddhC); and (b) comparing the amount(s) of the at least one biomarkers determined in (a) with a reference, thereby diagnosing a viral infection.
    Further, the invention is directed to a method for diagnosing a viral infection or a disease associated therewith in a subject comprising the steps of: (A) determining in a sample of said subject the amount of 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-cytidine (ddhC); and (B) comparing the amount of the ddhC determined in (A) with a reference, thereby diagnosing a viral infection; wherein the determination in (a) is done by NMR spectroscopy and the sample of the subject is a urine sample of said subject.
    The invention is also related to a diagnostic means for use in diagnosing a viral infection or a disease associated therewith, said diagnostic means comprising at least one biomarker selected from the group of 3′(,5′-di)deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro furanose derivatives of formula (I) with the exception of 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-cytidine (ddhC), but also to a diagnostic means comprising 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-cytidine (ddhC) for use in diagnosing a viral infection or a disease associated therewith, wherein the amount of the biomarker is determined done by NMR spectroscopy in a urine sample of a subject.
    Furthermore, the invention is directed to a device for diagnosing a viral infection or a disease associated therewith in a sample of a subject and to a kit for identifying a subject suffering from a viral infection or a disease associated therewith.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods for preparation and analysis of biological samples of transplant recipients for determination of transplant rejection, comprising: (a) measuring the amount of Torque teno virus (TTV) in a blood, plasma, serum, or urine sample of a transplant recipient; (b) measuring the amount of donor-derived cell-free DNA in a blood, plasma, serum, or urine sample of the transplant recipient; and (c) determining whether the amount of donor-derived cell-free DNA or a function thereof exceeds a cutoff threshold indicating transplant rejection and whether the transplant recipient has an increased or decreased amount of TTV indicating decreased or increased immune response, respectively.
