DNA logic gates create a low-cost, simple rabies assay which does not require sterile working conditions

Technology Benefits

-- Low-cost, easy to use assay to detect exposure to rabies removes the need for expensive, time-consuming PCR-based assays.-- Assay can be used in non-sterile environments characteristic of the developing world.-- Can distinguish between 7 different strains of rabies virus while existing technologies can only detect 6 of 7.Patent information: 2009/0275027 A1 ~ see link below.

Technology Application

-- Low-cost, easy to use assay to determine whether a person who has been bitten by an animal has been infected with rabies or related viruses.-- Use in non-sterile environments.-- Discrimination between rabies and related viruses.-- Detection of viral exposure immediately after an animal bite, as opposed to current technologies which can only detect after symptoms emerge and the disease is no longer treatable.-- Detection of other viral strains as DNA logic gates can be custom configured.

Detailed Technology Description
