International 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...
متن کاملReverse transcription-booster PCR for detection of noroviruses in shellfish.
The methods commonly used for norovirus (NV) detection are based on reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) followed by confirmation of the amplified sequence. To increase sensitivity, an RT-booster PCR was developed. The proposed method showed an increase in sensitivity at least 2 log units for all the NV strains tested compared with the standard RT-PCR method. Higher sensitivity was confirmed in t...
متن کاملDevelopment 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 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 کاملDetection and genotyping of human rotavirus VP4 and VP7 genes by reverse transcriptase PCR and reverse hybridization.
Rotavirus infections can be diagnosed in stool samples by serological and molecular methods. We developed a novel reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) method for the amplification of rotavirus RNA and a reverse hybridization assay on a strip to detect amplimers and identify the specific G and P genotypes present in human stool specimens. An additional aim was to permit specific identification of ...
