Description

The measles virus (MeV) nucleoprotein (N) gene is analyzed for the detection of MeV in clinical specimens. PMID: 16274752 The N gene is also used for the genetic characterization of MeV. Genetic classification is an important part of laboratory surveillance for measles and to provide support for molecular epidemiologic studies. Since endemic genotypes can change quickly, constant monitoring of cases and outbreaks is necessary. PMID: 21666208 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
