Dynamic range of reverse transcription PCR for detection of oseltamivir resistance in influenza A(H7N9) virus. Amplification curves (ΔRn vs. cycle number) for serial dilutions of plasmid with 292K (mutant) or R292 (wild-type) neuraminidase (NA) fragments. ΔRN is change in signal magnitude (reporter signal minus baseline signal). Assay dynamic range was linear at template concentrations of 102–108 copies/reaction. A) Detection of NA 292K mutant strain with probe N9-K: slope = −3.388, R2 = 0.997.
