Document: There are two methods included in this group: nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) and transcription-mediated amplification (TMA). These are isothermal RNA amplification methods modeled after retroviral replication [20, 21] . In both methods, the RNA target is reverse transcribed into cDNA and then RNA copies are synthesized with a RNA polymerase. Transcriptionbased amplification systems have several characteristics such as no requirement for a thermal cycler, rapid kinetics and a single-stranded RNA product that does not require denaturation prior to detection. Gen-Probe has developed TMA-based assays for detection of HCV and HIV-1, while NASBA-based kits (bioMérieux) have developed commercially available kits for the detection and quantitation of HIV-1 RNA and CMV RNA and detection of enterovirus and respiratory syncytial virus RNA.
