• Inclusivity panel –
Variola virus
: ≥ 2 strain target regions
• at least one from each primary clade
(
Li, et. al. PNAS (2007) Oct. 2;104(40):15787-15792.)
• encompass differences in target region
• Based on bioinformatic analysis
Ensure all inclusivity strains are detected at 2X AMDL in collection buffer
Ensure all inclusivity strains are detected at 2X AMDL in environmental
matrix
Ensure target is detected at 2X AMDL w/in pool of environmental panel
organisms (pools of up to 10 organisms at 10X AMDL for each)
Specificity analysis:
• Exclusivity panel – near neighbor (
Orthopoxvirus
):
• All poxvirus strains listed in the table (one from each major clade)
• See AOAC Website for the most updated list
