Assignment of the group A rotavirus NSP4 gene into genotypes using a hemi-nested multiplex PCR assay: a rapid and reproducible assay for strain surveillance studies.
The rotavirus non-structural protein NSP4 has been implicated in a number of biological functions during the rotavirus cellular cycle and pathogenesis, and has been addressed as a target for vaccine development. The NSP4 gene has been classified into six genotypes (A-F). A semi-nested triplex PCR was developed for genotyping the major human NSP4 genotypes (A-C), which are common in human rotavi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Pcr and Hemi-nested Pcr Assay for the Detection of African Lyssaviruses
The genus Lyssavirus is divided into 7 genotypes. Genotype 1 is found worldwide and genotypes 2-4 are found exclusively on the African continent. Representatives of genotypes 1-4 were selected to include every lineage, group and biotype within these genotypes to account for the huge diversity observed in this genus. A reverse transcription PCR as well as a hemi-nested PCR method has been develo...
متن کاملAnalysis of NSP4 Gene and Its Association with Genotyping of Rotavirus Group A in Stool Samples
Background: Non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) is a critical protein for rotavirus (RV) replication and assembly. This protein has multiple domains and motifs that predispose its function and activity. NSP4 has a sequence divergence in human and animal RVs. Recently, 14 genotypes (E1-E14) of NSP4 have been identified, and E1 and E2 have been shown to be the most common genotypes in human. Methods:...
متن کاملA Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Genotyping of Rotavirus Strains
Background: Human rotavirus (HRV) is the causative agent of severe gastroenteritis in children and responsible for two million hospitalizations and more than a half-million deaths annually. Sequence characteristics of the gene segments encoding the VP7 and VP4 proteins are used for the genotype classification of rotavirus. A wide variety of molecular methods are available, mainly based on rever...
متن کاملMultiplex Reverse Transcriptase-PCR Assay for Typing and Subtyping of Influenza A (H5 & H9) Virus in Iran
Avian influenza virus (AIV) infection is a major cause of bird or human mortality and morbidity, therefore the rapid identification of the virus is of important clinical and epidemiological implication. Methods: A multiplex Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) was optimized for the detection of influenza A virus and the H5 and H9 subtypes. The influenza type A specific primers were directed to t...
