چکیده

A competitive internal control (IC) adapted to RT-PCR in-house assay was developed for HCV RNA detection in human pooled plasma. Also, it was applied in a multiplex RT-PCR for the HIV-1 and HCV RNA screening in human pooled plasma and plasma-derived products. A 258-bp PCR product from the 5 ́noncoding region of HCV genome was obtained. A competitive IC template was constructed by inserting a 52-bp double strand sequence into the NheI site of the 258-bp amplicon. This sequence was cloned and the obtained plasmid was used to generate a synthetic RNA. The IC/RNA was incorporated in in-house HCV and/or HIV PCR technique to monitor the efficiency of extraction, reverse transcription, and PCR amplification steps. IC was also used to detect all major genotypes of HCV and HIV-1 strains with similar sensitivity. The detection limit of the assay for HCV and HIV-1 was 52.7 IU/mL and 164.2 IU/mL, respectively. These techniques have been evaluated in international programs of external quality assurance with highly satisfactory results. This IC is an essential reagent in PCR techniques to detect and identify HCV and HIV-1 in pooled plasma samples involved in the manufacture of plasma-derived products as well as in the field of clinical microbiology with limited resources.

TaqMan 5'-nuclease human immunodeficiency virus type 1 PCR assay with phage-packaged competitive internal control for high-throughput blood donor screening.

Screening of blood donors for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection by PCR permits the earlier diagnosis of HIV-1 infection compared with that by serologic assays. We have established a high-throughput reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay based on 5'-nuclease PCR. By in-tube detection of HIV-1 RNA with a fluorogenic probe, the 5'-nuclease PCR technology (TaqMan PCR) eliminates t...

Set up of Genotyping Test for Detection of HIV-1 Drug Resistance

Background and Aims: Genotyping assay has been accepted as a guidance in the therapeutic management of Human Immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). But, it is not commonly used in our country due to its high running cost. The aim of this study is evaluate an in-house genotyping resistance test (GRT) for HIV-1. Methods: HIV-1 RNA of 20 samples were extracted from plasma and RT Nested- PCR was perform...

A Simple and Rapid Method for the Detection of HIV-1/HCV in Co-Infected Patients

  Background: Due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. However, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive...
