The Seeplex Meningitis ACE Detection kit has 3 components: Seeplex Meningitis-B, which detects 5 bacteria (SP, HI type b, NM, GBS, and LM); Seeplex Meningitis-V1, which detects 6 viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, EBV, CMV, and HHV-6); and Seeplex Meningitis-V2, which detects HEV. The Seeplex Meningitis-B and V1 assays amplify DNA, whereas the Seeplex Meningitis-V2 assay amplifies cDNA reverse-transcribed from viral RNA. The target genes amplified from the 12 strains are shown in Table 1 .
