Measles Virus Genotyping by Nucleotide-Specific Multiplex PCR

Measles virus genotyping by nucleotide-specific multiplex PCR.

A simple genotyping method based on multiplex PCR has been developed to discriminate between all active measles virus (MV) clades and genotypes (A, B3.1, B3.2, C2, D2-D9, G2-G3, and H1-H2). The sequencing reaction was replaced by six multiplex PCRs: one to identify the clade and five to identify the respective genotype. Primers were sensitive to clade- and genotype-specific nucleotides and gene...

Serotype Identification of Recent Iranian Isolates of Infectious Bronchitis Virus by Type-Specific Multiplex RT-PCR

Simultaneous detection of measles virus, rubella virus, and parvovirus B19 by using multiplex PCR.

We describe here a multiplex reverse transcription-PCR (RTMNPCR) assay designed to detect and differentiate measles virus, rubella virus, and parvovirus B19. Serial dilution experiments with vaccine strains that compared cell culture isolation of measles in B95 cells and rubella in RK13 cells showed sensitivity rates of 0.004 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID(50)) for measles virus and 0....

Genotyping of the Pseudorabies Virus by Multiplex PCR Followed by Restriction Enzyme Analysis

Suid herpesvirus 1 (SuHV-1) is the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease. The infectious agent has only one serotype, but it was classified by restriction enzyme analysis of the whole genome into four genotypes, named I to IV. The aim of this study was to standardize a rapid method for genotyping SuHV-1 without virus isolation, using a multiplex-PCR followed by enzymatic restriction analysis. T...

A Computer Support for Genotyping by Multiplex PCR

The Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR for short, is able to produce million copies of a speciied DNA segment. Grouping (multiplexing) numerous PCR in a few experiments would decrease the PCR costs and save time. Starting from a biological model for the multiplexing conditions, we transform the problem to a combinatorial one, show that the problem is N P ?complete, give an approximation algorithm, ...
