Detection of Newcastle Disease Virus in Infected Chicken Embryos and Chicken Tissues by Rt-pcr
نویسندگان
چکیده
RT-PCR for the detection of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in allantoic fluids of SPF embryonated eggs as well as in tissues of SPF chickens infected experimentally is described. The method proved to be specific as all tested NDVs were detected and no cross reaction with other RNA viruses was observed. Sensitivity of the method was established at 10ELD50/0.1 ml. To detect NDV in chicken tissues, SPF chickens were inoculated with 10 EID50 of 3 NDV reference strains: La Sota (lentogenic), Roakin (mesogenic) and Italy (velogenic pigeon variant) and 5 d p.i. various tissue samples were aseptically collected followed by RT-PCR and virus isolation on SPF embryos. The results showed high concordance: 93% (La Sota and Italy) to 100% (Roakin) between both methods.

The Tween 80 Toxicity in Chicken Embryos and Effect on the Kinetics of Newcastle Disease Virus Replication
Background: Non-ionic surfactant, Tween-80 (TW80) is commonly used for drug delivery due to its effect on the cell membrane permeation. The change in permeability can also increase viral infectivity in cells. This study was undertaken to improve upon Newcastle disease virus (NDV) titer cultivated with embryonic chicken eggs. Methods: The toxicity of TW80 was investigated against chicken embryo...
