Reverse transcriptase-PCR assay for detection of hog cholera virus.
A reverse transcriptase-PCR strategy was developed for the detection of hog cholera virus. Hog cholera virus template was amplified from tissue culture fluids and from tissues and blood of infected pigs, but not from samples containing other pestiviruses. Restriction endonuclease analysis identified samples as historic or recent isolates.
متن کاملDetection of Treponema pallidum by a sensitive reverse transcriptase PCR.
Syphilis is diagnosed by serologic testing or by identification of the causative agent, Treponema pallidum. The bacterium has historically been detected in clinical specimens by dark-field microscopy, immunostaining with polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies, or the rabbit inoculation test (RIT). RIT is considered to be very sensitive and specific, although it is available only in research settin...
متن کاملRapid detection of classical swine fever virus by a portable real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay.
A fluorogenic-probe hydrolysis (TaqMan)-reverse transcriptase PCR assay for classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was developed and evaluated in experimentally infected swine. The assay detected CSFV, representing different phylogenetic groupings, but did not amplify viral RNA from related pestiviruses. The assay met or exceeded the sensitivity (1 to 100 50% tissue culture infective doses per ml) ...
متن کاملPCR - Based Reverse Transcriptase Assay
ES cells. This phenomenon has been observed in our laboratory in a number of cases. Clones putatively identified as homologous recombinants by Southern analysis can be quickly checked for random insertion of extra copies of the targeting vector by PCR. Given the small difference in size between the two alleles and use of only two primers common to both WT and mutant DNA, the amplification rate ...
متن کاملApplication of Reverse Transcriptase –PCR (RT-PCR) for rapid detection of viable Escherichia coli in drinking water samples
BACKGROUND Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is preferred to other methods for detecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) in water in terms of speed, accuracy and efficiency. False positive result is considered as the major disadvantages of PCR. For this reason, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) can be used to solve this problem. The aim of present study was to determine the effi...
