Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay for detection of human metapneumoviruses from all known genetic lineages.
The discovery of human metapneumovirus and its implications for respiratory tract disease have emphasized the need for a sensitive, specific, and rapid assay to detect this virus in a clinical setting. It recently became clear that human metapneumovirus can be grouped into at least four genetic lineages. Previously described assays for the detection of human metapneumovirus were developed by us...
متن کاملComparison of a lateral-flow immunochromatography assay with real-time reverse transcription-PCR for detection of human metapneumovirus.
A lateral-flow immunochromatography (IC) assay for the detection of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) has been developed by using two mouse monoclonal antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein of hMPV. The purpose of this study was to compare the virus detection rate in nasopharyngeal secretions by the IC assay with that by real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). We collected nasopharyngeal swab ...
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 کاملReverse 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 کاملQuantification of CCR5 mRNA in human lymphocytes and macrophages by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay.
CCR5, a beta-chemokine receptor, plays an important role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of human immune cells, as it is a primary coreceptor for HIV entry into macrophages. We have applied a newly developed real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the quantification of CCR5 mRNA in human blood immune cells. The CCR5 real-time RT-PCR assay has a sensitivity of 100 ...
