Analysis of respiratory syncytial virus in clinical samples by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction restriction mapping.
The aim of this study was to develop a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) genomes. The primers were designed from published sequences and selected from conserved regions of the genome encoding for the N protein of subgroups A and B of RSV. PCR was applied to 20 specimens from children admitted to the respiratory ward of "William Soler" Pediatr...
متن کاملFrequency and Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Pneumonia in Children by Nested Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
Introduction: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of major causes of viral respiratory tract disease in young children and infants. We aimed to study the frequency of respiratory syncytial virus and its subtypes in pneumonia and bronchopneumonia in pediatric patients less than two years old tested by nested polymerase chain reaction with the evaluation of routinely used methods of diagnosi...
متن کاملDetection of Brazilian bovine respiratory syncytial virus strain by a reverse transcriptase-nested-polymerase chain reaction in experimentally infected calves.
A reverse transcriptase (RT)-nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was standardised to detect bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), using a Brazilian isolate, in three experimentally infected calves. This followed initial tests in infected chicken embryo related (CER) cells. One animal had lesions, characterized by interstitial multifocal pneumonia, severe interstitial and subpleural emph...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of the S1 gene of vaccine strains of infectious bronchitis virus using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an acute and contagious viral disease of poultry that affects different systems, including the respiratory tract in particular. IBV causes major economic losses in the poultry industry globally. Due to antigenic variation of the causative agent, control of the disease is difficult. To control the disease, many vaccines that belong to different serotypes are...
متن کاملDetection of human respiratory syncytial virus in respiratory samples by LightCycler reverse transcriptase PCR.
Laboratory diagnosis of human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) infections has traditionally been performed by virus isolation in cell culture and the direct fluorescent-antibody assay (DFA). Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) is now recognized as a sensitive and specific alternative for detection of hRSV in respiratory samples. Using the LightCycler instrument, we developed a rapid RT-PCR ass...
