Snippet: The exact cause of the background cross-reactivity when testing clinical samples from pre-COVID-19 respiratory disease patients using the China CDC and US CDC primer-probe sets is unknown. One possibility is that these primers and probes can slightly amplify other seasonal coronaviruses. We did not detect cross-reactivity when using the Charité and HKU sets, and indeed, the assay developers reported that the primers and probes did not detect oth.....
Document: The exact cause of the background cross-reactivity when testing clinical samples from pre-COVID-19 respiratory disease patients using the China CDC and US CDC primer-probe sets is unknown. One possibility is that these primers and probes can slightly amplify other seasonal coronaviruses. We did not detect cross-reactivity when using the Charité and HKU sets, and indeed, the assay developers reported that the primers and probes did not detect other circulating coronaviruses and respiratory viruses 4, 5 . Cross-reactivity with other viruses would severely limit the utility of any assay and requires further investigation.
