Performance of BioFire array or QuickVue influenza A + B test versus a validation qPCR assay for detection of influenza A during a volunteer A/California/2009/H1N1 challenge study

David R McIlwain, Han Chen, Maria Apkarian, Melton Affrime, Bonnie Bock, Kenneth Kim, Nilanjan Mukherjee, Garry P Nolan, Monica M McNeal. ebi.ac.uk. February 25, 2021.

The authors compare BioFire and QuickVue tests with a study-specific qPCR comparator in selected influenza-challenge samples. Repeated matched swabs come from143 volunteers, and the two comparisons use different specimen sets. A linked correction changes the rapid-test table denominator from351 to299. These results do not establish performance in community infections, current product versions or UAP research.

Nathaniel Clarke, Jonathan M. Tsai, Aaron M. Newman, Norma F. Neff, Garry P. Nolan, Stephen R. Quake, Irving L. Weissman, Ayelet Voskoboynik. ebi.ac.uk. December 5, 2018.

The authors report candidate blood-forming and immune-cell populations in a colonial tunicate, using expression comparisons, transplantation and functional assays. Mammalian similarities remain qualified by missing lymphoid signatures, cross-reactivity, autofluorescence and incomplete stem-cell benchmarks.
