Real-time PCR assay to detect smallpox virus.
We developed a highly sensitive and specific assay for the rapid detection of smallpox virus DNA on both the Smart Cycler and LightCycler platforms. The assay is based on TaqMan chemistry with the orthopoxvirus hemagglutinin gene used as the target sequence. With genomic DNA purified from variola virus Bangladesh 1975, the limit of detection was estimated to be approximately 25 copies on both m...
متن کاملKey words: herpes simplex virus, real-time PCR, multiplex real-time PCR assay
要 旨 単 純 ヘ ル ペ ス ウ イ ル ス1型(HSV-1)お よ び2型(HSV-2)の 遺 伝 子 を 同時 に検 出 す るmultiplex real-time PCR法 を 開発 し た. HSV-1お よびHSV-2のgpD領 域 を標 的 と し,プ ラ イ マ ー お よ びTaqMan蛍 光 プ ロ ー ブ を 独 自 に 設 計 し た.検 出感 度 は15copies/tubeで,HSV-1お よ びHSV-2と も15か ら1.5×106 copies/tubeの 範 囲 で 定 量 が 可 能 で あ っ た.real-time PCR法 はPCR法 よ り も103倍 感 度 が 高 く,他 の ヘ ルペ ス属(CMV, EBV, HHV6, HHV-7お よ びVZV) DNAは 検 出 され なか っ た. 以 上 の結 果 か ら,今 回 開 発...
متن کاملTaqMan real-time PCR: a reliable method to detect meat species
The aim of this study was to detect and identify meat species (beef, lamb, pork, chicken, donkey, and horse) in Kebab as a Halal meat-based food sold in on-road-restaurants of North Khorasan province (Iran) using TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Raw Kebab samples (150 samples) were obtained from on-road restaurants. The samples were prepared, DNA was extracted and TaqMan real-t...
متن کاملDevelopment of a sensitive real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay with an internal control to detect and quantify chikungunya virus.
BACKGROUND The chikungunya virus (CHIKV; Alphavirus, Togaviridae) has emerged in the south Western Indian Ocean since early 2005. A major outbreak of CHIKV infection occurred in Réunion Island, where the virus is transmitted by Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Facing an outbreak of unprecedented magnitude, we developed a rapid, sensitive, and reliable assay for the detection and quantification of C...
متن کاملUsing a portable real-time PCR assay to detect Salmonella in raw milk.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a portable real-time PCR system in detecting Salmonella spp. in raw milk. The 200 bulk milk samples chosen for this study constituted a subset of the samples for a larger study; this subset contained 24 samples that were culture positive for Salmonella and 176 that were culture negative. Milk was both plated directly on selective agar a...
