Development of reverse transcriptase PCR assays for detection of active human herpesvirus 6 infection.
We developed reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR assays for the detection of mRNA from three spliced genes of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), the immediate-early genes U16/U17 and U89/U90 and the late gene U60/U66. Sequence analysis determined the splicing sites of these genes. The new assays may be instrumental in investigating the association between HHV-6 and disease.
متن کاملDetection of human herpesvirus 6 by reverse transcription-PCR.
The role of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in disease beyond primary infection remains unclear. We have developed and validated a new reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assay for HHV-6 that can determine the presence of HHV-6 in clinical specimens and differentiate between latent and replicating virus. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 109 children were evaluated for HHV-6 by RT-PCR, DNA PCR...
متن کاملDevelopment of real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assays for the detection of Punta Toro
29 30 Background: Research with high biocontainment pathogens such as Rift Valley fever virus 31 (RVFV) and Lassa virus (LASV) is expensive, potentially hazardous, and limited to select 32 institutions. Surrogate pathogens such as Punta Toro virus (PTV) for RVFV infection and 33 Pichinde virus (PICV) for LASV infection allow research to be performed under more 34 permissive BSL-2 conditions. Al...
متن کاملMulticenter comparison of PCR assays for detection of human herpesvirus 6 DNA in serum.
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a ubiquitous virus with which infections have been associated with pathologies ranging from delayed bone marrow engraftment to a variety of neurological diseases. The lack of a standardized assay that can be used to detect and estimate HHV-6 DNA contents in various clinical specimens can lead and has led to discordant results among investigators and on the potenti...
متن کاملInternational collaborative study to compare reverse transcriptase PCR assays for detection and genotyping of noroviruses.
To allow more rapid and internationally standardized assessment of the spread of noroviruses (previously called Norwalk-like viruses [NLVs]) as important food-borne pathogens, harmonization of methods for their detection is needed. Diagnosis of NLVs in clinical diagnostic laboratories is usually performed by reverse transciptase PCR (RT-PCR) assays. In the present study, the performance of five...
