The assay was evaluated using reference materials, cultured virus, and previously tested clinical throat swab samples. An automated workflow was established for RNA extraction, RT-PCR amplification, and result reporting using robotic platforms and a real-time PCR instrument. The assay targets the measles nucleoprotein (N) and hemagglutinin (H) genes, with human RNase P gene used as an internal control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MeV RT-PCR assay has a limit of detection of 500 genome copies per milliliter. The assay was tested against 85 different samples: 50 positive clinical samples and reference materials and 35 negative clinical samples or reference materials. All expected results were correctly identified, giving 100% sensitivity (50\/50) and specificity (35\/35). The assay showed 100% interassay and intra-assay reproducibility. No cross-reactivity was observed with other respiratory viruses or common bacterial and fungal pathogens.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
