Development of immuno-PCR for diagnosis of bovine herpesvirus 1 infection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A highly sensitive immuno-PCR method specific for the detection of antigens of and antibodies to bovine herpesvirus 1 was established. This assay attained a high sensitivity of up to 10(7.0) times higher than that of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or PCR for antigen detection and 10(5.0) times higher than that of ELISA for antibody detection.

Isolation of Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) From Latently Infected/Carrier Cattle in Ahvaz
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is one of the most important infectious viruses of cattle which is considered as the causative agent of several clinical conditions in this species. Hence, we tried to isolate a local strain of the virus from carrier cattle in Ahvaz based on a strategy for reactivation of the latent infection in hosts having antibodies against the virus. Thus, 20 cattle were examin...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of a polymerase chain reaction assay to detect Bovine herpesvirus 1
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) has been developed and evaluated. This assay was based on the amplification of a viral thymidine kinase (tk) gene fragment, for which a novel pair of primers and different PCR conditions were tested. Under optimal conditions, no amplification was observed from heterologous herpesviruses or other bovine viruses. Howe...

Bovine herpesvirus type-1 (BoHV-1) is a DNA virus that is classified in the family Herpesviridae, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae and genus Varicellovirus. This virus causes the respiratory disease, abortion, conjunctivitis, infectious pustular vulvovaginitis or balanoposthitis and other clinical forms of the complex diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence and ri...
متن کاملDetection of a novel bovine lymphotropic herpesvirus.
Degenerate PCR primers which amplify a conserved region of the DNA polymerase genes of the herpesvirus family were used to provide sequence evidence for a new bovine herpesvirus in bovine B-lymphoma cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The sequence of the resultant amplicon was found to be distinct from those of known herpesvirus isolates. Alignment of amino acid sequences demon...

The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...
