Replacement of HIV p24 Ag test by a multiplex RT-PCR method for primary screening of blood donors.
Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) as a tool for primary screening of blood donors became a reality in the end of the 1990 decade. We report here the development of an "in-house" RT-PCR method that allows the simultaneous (multiplex) detection of HCV and HIV-RNA in addition to an artificial RNA employed as an external control. This method detects all HIV group M subtypes, plus group N and O, with a det...
متن کاملOne-step RT-PCR for screening microdissected tissue samples.
The technology of laser-capture microdissection (LCM) enables the easy extraction of single cells or defined groups of cells from a tissue section (1,2). This technique uses a laser pulse to activate a plastic polymer, which binds to and captures cells from a frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue section. Captured cells present on this solid support can then be used for nucleic acid and/or protein...
متن کاملAn efficient virus concentration method and RT-nested PCR for detection of rotaviruses in environmental water samples.
Water samples were concentrated by the modified adsorption-elution technique followed by speedVac reconcentration of the filter eluates. Reverse transcriptase-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nested PCR) was used to detect rotavirus RNA in concentrates of the water. The detection limit of the rotavirus determined by RT-nested PCR alone was about 1.67 plaque forming units (PFU) per RT-PCR as...
متن کاملNested-RT-PCR and multiplex RT-PCR for diagnosis of rhinovirus infection in clinical samples.
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are positive-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the Enterovirus genus in the family of Picornaviridae. Identification of the specific strain in HRV disease has been difficult because the traditional serological method is insensitive, labor intensive, and cumbersome. With the fast progress in molecular biological technique, more sensitive and faster molecular methods hav...
متن کاملSensitivity of RT-PCR method in samples shown to be positive for Zika virus by RT-qPCR in vector competence studies
Tissue samples from mosquitoes artificially infected with Zika virus and shown to be positive by RT-qPCR were reexamined by RT-PCR. Using these samples we compared the two methods employed in virus RNA detection for vector competence studies. Results demonstrated that, albeit useful, RT-PCR gave false negatives with low viral loads (< 106 RNA copies/ml).
