Exposed: Hantavirus PCR Test Sequences Match Human DNA!
It has become apparent that portions of the genetic sequences used by the PCR test to supposedly detect hantavirus also directly match human DNA sequences.
A BLAST analysis of the forward primer, reverse primer, and fluorescent probe used in a published hantavirus RT-qPCR assay revealed repeated exact matches to human genomic material, raising questions about whether human nucleic acids could plausibly contribute to positive hantavirus PCR signal generation under some assay conditions.
That means the test components were not exclusively unique to hantavirus at the sequence level.
Positive results could indicate the presence of human material, not viral.
BLAST stands for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, a widely used bioinformatics algorithm for comparing biological sequences.
That means the test components were not exclusively unique to hantavirus at the sequence level.
Positive results could indicate the presence of human material, not viral.
The revelation comes as the mainstream media is raising alarm over an alleged hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship off West Africa.
The new BLAST findings become more significant when viewed alongside the original U.S. Patent 5,210,015, which explicitly states that PCR probe complementarity “need not be perfect” and that a detectable signal can occur through “polymerization-independent cleavage,” meaning detectable fluorescent signal generation does not necessarily require full target amplification.
In simpler terms, the original patent behind modern TaqMan PCR testing acknowledges that the chemistry can still generate a detectable signal even when the genetic matching is imperfect and even when full amplification of the target sequence is not occurring.
Even partial similarity between hantavirus PCR components and human genetics could result in a positive test result, even when no virus is present.
