Evaluation of Multiplex Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction for Routine Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping in Egyptian Patients
BACKGROUND At least six HCV (hepatitis C virus) genotypes are unequally distributed worldwide. HCV genotyping guides the selection of treatment regimens and provides important epidemiological markers that enable the outbreak source to be traced and the spread of disease to be controlled. In Egypt, there is an increasing need for cost-effective, fast, and easily performable HCV genotyping assays...
متن کاملGenotyping by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for detection of endemic hepatitis B virus transmission.
A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was developed for rapid genotyping of hepatitis B virus (HBV). During the first PCR round, a universal HBV primer pair was used to amplify the entire pre-S region of the HBV genome. Within the pre-S region, many nucleotide exchanges are observed. These are partly correlated to the serological hepatitis B surface antigen subtypes. Five additional...
متن کاملNested polymerase chain reaction for detection of hepatitis C virus RNA in blood derivatives.
Testing for the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in blood derivatives used in clinical medicine is of enormous importance to ensure the production of safe preparations. So far, no system has been developed for the isolation and detection of hepatitis C virus from blood derivatives. The recently introduced commercial kit for the detection of hepatitis C virus is designed for the isolation and...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction for Differential Diagnosis of Canary Pox Virus
Background and Aims: A multiplex transcription-polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR) was developed for direct detection and discrimination between canarypox virus (CPV) and other avian poxvirus (APV). Materials and Methods: Three compatible primer sets were designed for m-PCR amplification of different loci fpv126, fpv140, and fpv167 located at highly conserved APV genes. Results: Results showed th...
متن کاملDetection Of Toxoplasma Gondii and Human Cytomegalovirus DNA in Blood from Transplant Recipients Using Multiplex Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction
Evidences from many studies suggested a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a valuable method for diagnosing infectious disease in the transplant recipients. We used this method for detection of Toxoplasma, gondii and human cytomegalovirus in blood specimens from patients after bone marrow or kidney transplantation. DNA of both infectious agents were detected using two separate sets of nested pr...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Genotyping in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is a massive worldwide healthcare burden with estimated costs in the USA alone of over $5 billon per annum. The virus has a 9.5kb positive sense single-stranded RNA genome with striking heterogeneity between isolates, which has led to it being divided into 6 genotypes and more than 50 subtypes and many quasispecies that has been arisen due to the infidelity o...
