  1. 1 Nanomolar concentration of a 25 μl reaction.
  2. 2Position relative to the initiating codon of A/chicken/Egypt/06541-NLQP/2006 (H5N1), GenBank accession no. EU372946.1
  3. Bold face nucleotides indicate mismatch positions between clade 2.2.1p proper and lineage 2.2.1v variant viruses. Italics indicate use of locked nucleic acid nucleotides.
  4. The specificity of primers and probes for either or both of the 2.2.1 lineages is indicated with their designation.
