A rapid and highly sensitive method for diagnosis of equine influenza by antigen detection using immuno-PCR.

چکیده
A rapid and highly sensitive method for diagnosis of influenza by detecting viral antigens using immuno-PCR has been developed. The sensitivity of the immuno-PCR for the detection of the nonstructural protein 1 (NS 1) antigenically common among influenza A viruses was 10(1.0-2.0) times higher than that of RT-PCR for the detection of the viral genome. For the detection of the hemagglutinin (HA) subtype-specific antigen, this assay using anti-HA monoclonal antibodies attained a sensitivity of up to 10(7.0-8.0) times higher than those by virus isolation or by RT-PCR.

Avian influenza viruses (AIV) affect a wide range of birds and mammals, cause severe economic damage to the poultry industry, and pose a serious threat to humans. Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAI) H5N1 were first identified in Southeast Asia in 1996 and spread to four continents over the following years. The viruses have caused high mortality in chickens and various bird species ...

BACKGROUND Equine influenza (EI) is a highly contagious disease caused by viruses of the H3N8 subtype. The rapid diagnosis of EI is essential to reduce the disease spread. Many rapid antigen detection (RAD) tests for diagnosing human influenza are available, but their ability to diagnose EI has not been systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the performance ...
