Synthetic peptides for efficient discrimination of anti-enterovirus antibodies at the serotype level.
Enteroviruses are important human pathogens, causing a broad spectrum of diseases from minor common colds to fatal myocarditis. However, certain disease syndromes are caused by one or few serotypes. Serotype identification is difficult due to the laborious neutralization tests that lack of sensitivity, while in commercial ELISAs homotypic antibodies' activities are largely masked by the recogni...
متن کاملComparison between RT-PCR, NASBA and RT-LAMP Methods for Detection of Coxsackievirus B3
Viral myocarditis is a moderate disease, but it sometimes causes progressive cardiac disorder. Many different viruses have been considered as the agent of viral myocarditis, but Coxsackievirus of the B group, in particular of the Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), is more than fifty percent of cases of viral myocarditis. CVB3 is a positive single-stranded RNA virus and a member of the genus Enterovirus ...
متن کاملEpidemic Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Caused by Human Enterovirus 71, Singapore
Singapore experienced a large epidemic of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in 2000. After reviewing HFMD notifications from doctors and child-care centers, we found that the incidence of HFMD rose in September and declined at the end of October. During this period, 3,790 cases were reported. We performed enteroviral cultures on 311 and 157 specimens from 175 HFMD patients and 107 non-HFMD pa...
متن کاملRelationship between serologic response and clinical symptoms in children with enterovirus 71-infected hand-foot-mouth disease.
This study aimed to explore the correlation between clinical symptoms, including rash and fever, and serum antibody reaction to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection in children hospitalized due to hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD). From May 2014 to July 2014, a total of 547 children hospitalized due to HFMD in Children's Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled retrospectively. RNA levels of EV71 and...
متن کاملExpression of enterovirus 71 capsid protein VP1 in Escherichia coli and its clinical application
The VPl gene of enterovirus 71 (EV71) was synthesized, construct a recombinant plasmid pET15b/VP1 and expressed in E. coli BL21. The recombinant VP1 protein could specifically react with EV71-infected patient sera without the cross-reaction with serum antibodies of coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), A4, A5, B3 and B5 as well as echovirus 6. In acute and convalescent phases, IgM and IgG antibodies of 18...
