Rapid Strep Throat Diagnostic Using Host Gene Expression Analysis
Storch, Gregory ; Yu, Jinsheng
T-019526

— Technology Description Researchers in Prof. Gregory Storch’s laboratory have developed a molecular assay that utilizes the patient/host gene expression pattern to rapidly identify acute group A streptococcus (GAS) infection in patients with pharyngitis (sore throat) to help guide appropriate…

Rapid, accurate RT-PCR test for enterovirus D68
Storch, Gregory ; Wylie, Kristine ; Wylie, Todd
T-015155

— Technology Description A team of researchers at Washington University designed patented primers for a sensitive, specific, real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assay to quickly detect enterovirus D68 (EV-D68). EV-D68 is an emerging, highly contagious respiratory virus that can cause seve…

ViroCap: enhanced, efficient virome sequencing with metagenomic capture probes
Storch, Gregory ; Wylie, Kristine ; Wylie, Todd
T-015124

— Technology Description A team of researchers at Washington University developed “ViroCap”, a patented capture probe technique for senistive, comprehensive, in-depth metagenomics analysis vertebrate viruses. This invention could enhance traditional metagenomics shotgun sequencing (MSS) w…

New diagnostic test method for infectious diseases
Storch, Gregory
T-013735

— Background: Viral infections are common causes of fever without an apparent source (FWS) in young children. Despite absence of bacterial infection, many febrile children are treated with antibiotics. Virus and bacteria interact with different pattern recognition receptors in circulating blood leuko…
