Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for the elimination of false negative test results in assays for the detection of amplified analyte nucleic acid in a sample. Prior to amplification, an internal control is added to the sample, comprising a nucleic acid distinguishable from the analyte nucleic acid, that can be amplified with the same amplification reagents as the analyte nucleic acid. Preferably the internal control comprises a nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the analyte nucleic acid that has been mutated to discriminate it from the analyte nucleic acid.
