Intended Use
This kit is used for the qualitative detection of influenza A/B virus nucleic acid in human oropharyngeal swab samples in vitro.
Epidemiology
Influenza A virus is an acute respiratory infectious disease, with multiple subtypes such as H1N1 and H3N2, which are prone to mutation and broke out worldwide. Antigenic shift refers to the mutation of the influenza A virus, resulting in the emergence of a new subtype. Influenza B viruses are divided into two major lineages, Yamagata and Victoria. Influenza B viruses only have antigenic drift, and they evade the surveillance and clearance of the human immune system through their mutations. However, the evolution rate of influenza B virus is slower than that of influenza A virus, and influenza B virus can also cause human respiratory tract infection and lead to epidemics.
