Detection and localization of naturally transmitted avian leukosis subgroup J virus in egg-type chickens by in situ PCR hybridization

Avian leukosis virus (ALV) subgroup J (ALV-J) is an exogenous ALV and causes myeloid leukosis in meat-type chickens. We have previously reported the isolation and identification of ALV-J in commercial layer flocks from 12 farms in northern China. In this report, we further characterized this virus by in situ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) hybridization in various affected organs of chickens from six of the 12 farms. A routine method for hybridization of nucleic acid uses radioactive probe, such as a P32-labelled probe. We found that the non-radioactive digoxigenin (DIG) probe is sensitive enough to detect the nucleic acid of virus in chicken tissues. We used a pair of published primers (H5/H7) specific to the gp85 envelope gene and 3' region of pol gene of prototype ALV-J strain HPRS-103. The total RNA extracted from tumour, bone marrow, oviduct, liver and spleen of the diseased chickens from six commercial flocks, and cDNA was successfully amplified. Using the primers and cDNA, we obtained an ALV-J-specific cDNA probe of 545 bp in length by PCR. In situ PCR with H5/H7 primers was carried out in the paraffin sections from tissues of the diseased chickens, followed by in situ hybridization using the DIG-labelled cDNA probe. Positive hybridization signals were detected in the cytoplasm of paraffin sections of tumours and other organ tissues. The intensity of the signals was documented using an image analysis system measuring integral optical density (IOD). The IOD values for tissue sections treated by in situ PCR hybridization are significantly higher than that by in situ hybridization alone (P < 0.01). These data taken together suggest that in situ PCR hybridization is a more sensitive technique for detection of ALV-J in tissue sections.     

Polymerase chain reaction amplification of pseudorabies virus DNA from acutely and latently infected cells

A characteristic of alphaherpesviruses, including pseudorabies virus (PRV), is that the acute phase of the disease is followed by lifelong latency. Latently infected animals are asymptomatic but can transmit reactivated virus. Corticosteroid administration, tissue explanation, blot- and in situ hybridizations have been used to demonstrate the presence of latent PRV infections. The use of blot hybridization as a convenient method for defining the incidence of PRV infections in swine herds has been hampered by the detection limit of this method. The objective of this study was to increase this sensitivity of blot hybridization by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of target sequences. Two sets of 20-mer primers were synthesized and used to amplify gX and gII glycoprotein gene sequences in two different strains of PRV. The specificity of the amplification was verified by Southern blot hybridization and restriction endonuclease analysis of the amplified fragments. Amplification of target sequences by PRC increased their detection limit by a factor of at least 10(5). Porcine ganglion samples, in which latency had been demonstrated by in vitro explanation, were analyzed by PCR together with positive and negative controls. Duplicate slot blot analyses of a portion of the amplified products were used to demonstrate latency in seven of eight samples. It was concluded that blot hybridization of PCR amplified DNA appears to be both a sensitive and convenient method for the detection of PRV induced latency.     

Detection of phocine distemper virus using the polymerase chain reaction

During the fatal seal epizootics in the North and Baltic Seas in summer 1988 a virus was isolated which was shown to be the causal agent. It was subsequently classified as morbillivirus by neutralization assays, reaction with monoclonal antibodies and nucleic acid hybridization studies. The virus (tentatively called Phocine Distemper Virus, PDV) is difficult to grow in culture making rapid diagnosis difficult. We have used the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) as an alternative and fast method to detect the presence of virus-specific nucleic acid and we describe here the amplification of cell culture derived PDV RNA in a "one-tube" reaction using heterologous (Rinderpest Virus cDNA derived) F gene primers. The resulting 370 bp DNA fragment was shown to be morbillivirus derived by Southern blot hybridization using cloned RPV F gene as probe.
