Restriction enzyme analysis of VP7 gene of Indian isolates of bluetongue virus.

چکیده
The genome segment 7 of two Indian isolates of bluetongue virus (BTV) from Avikanagar (BTV-1-western India) and Hyderabad (BTV-Untyped Hyderabad-southern India) was amplified by RT-PCR using two sets of VP7 specific primers. A sequence of 1137 bp comprising the complete coding sequence of the VP7 gene from Avikanagar isolate and a 1154 bp full-length sequence from BTV-UT Hyderabad isolate were amplified. Further, restriction enzyme digestion of these full-length amplicons, using EcoRI, PstI and TaqI revealed that genome segment 7 from both isolates were different from each other by absence of any EcoRI site in the BTV-UT Hyderabad isolate. There were also variations in the number and position of restriction sites for TaqI enzyme in these two isolates. Taql has two sites in the Avikanagar isolate whereas four sites in BTV-UT Hyderabad. The restriction digestion fragments obtained after PstI digestion were differentiated on the basis of their distinct sizes in both isolates. Comparison of their in silico restriction profiles with that of other isolates from different countries revealed that the two Indian isolates belonging to different parts of India had variations in their VP7 gene which was also distinguishable from at least some isolates from Australia and South Africa. Hence the restriction enzyme (RE) based analysis might be a useful tool in determining the genetic diversity in genome segment 7 and also for tracing their evolutionary relationships.

Segment 2 based characterization of a novel Indian bluetongue virus isolate
Aim: The study was conducted to characterize and serotype the novel isolate of bluetongue virus (BTV) isolated from India. Materials and Methods: The BTV isolate was propagated in BHK-21 cell line. Nucleic acid (dsRNA) was extracted using Trizol method and cDNA was prepared using a process called reverse transcription. The cDNA was subjected to group specific PCR using ns1 gene specific primer ...

Bluetongue virus (BTV), prototype species of genus Orbivirus, belongs to the family Reoviridae. It is a non-enveloped, double shelled virus with ten segmented dsRNA genome. RNA segment 6 encodes an outer capsid serotype specific virus protein VP5. A pair of primers (forward 207-229 bp & reverse 1284-1304) was designed from the published BTV-1 segment 6 sequences to specifically amplify vp5 gene...
متن کاملRestriction analysis of conserved and variable regions of VP2 gene of Indian isolates of bluetongue virus serotype 1.
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a member of Orbivirus genus in family Reoviridae. The virus genome is composed of 10 double-stranded RNA segments. The RNA segment L2 encodes an outer capsid viral protein VP2, which is the main determinant of neutralization and serotype-specific immune response. BTV serotype 1 (BTV-1) specific novel primer pair was designed using VP2 gene sequences available in GenBan...
