RT-PCR检测猪传染性胃肠炎病毒方法的建立

猪传染性胃肠炎 ( TGE)是一种以严重腹泻、呕吐和脱水为临床特征的高度接触性传染病 ,属于国际兽疫局 ( OIE)法典中 B类疫病必检的猪传染病。TGEV是一种有囊膜的正链 RNA冠状病毒。目前检测 TGEV的方法主要有中和试验、免疫荧光抗体试验、酶联免疫吸附试验和电镜技术 ,这些方法对于检测 TGEV和防制 TGE起到了重要作用 ,但也存在特异性不强、灵敏性差、耗时长等缺点。c DNA探针、RT- PCR近年来已成为国际上用于检测病原微生物的主要方法。由于 c DNA探针与临床样品中非相关核酸有一定的非特异性结合 ,尤其是检测粪便、尿液等…     

Comparison of polymerase chain reaction assays with bacteriologic culture, immunofluorescence, and nucleic acid hybridization for detection of Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar hardjo in urine of cattle

OBJECTIVE: To compare sensitivity and specificity of various polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for detection of Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar hardjo in bovine urine and to compare results of the optimal PCR assay with results of immunofluorescence, nucleic acid hybridization, and bacteriologic culture. ANIMALS: 6 heifers. PROCEDURE: Heifers were exposed to serovar hardjo type hardjo-bovis by conjunctival instillation of 10(6) leptospires on 3 successive days. Urine samples were collected before and after infection. Sensitivity and specificity of 5 PCR assays were compared, to determine the optimal assay for use with bovine urine samples. The optimal PCR assay was then compared with results of bacteriologic culture, nucleic acid hybridization, and immunofluorescence. RESULTS: A PCR assay with the best combination of specificity (100%) and sensitivity (91%) was selected for comparison with the other diagnostic tests. Sensitivity for nucleic acid hybridization was 55%, whereas sensitivity for bacteriologic culture and immunofluorescence was 89 to 93%. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Bacteriologic culture, PCR, and immunofluorescence were sensitive for detection of L borgpetersenii serovar hardjo type hardjo-bovis in urine specimens of cattle, but a single technique was not the most sensitive for each animal tested. Therefore, the use of 2 techniques in combination is warranted for maximal sensitivity for diagnosis.     

Equine viral arteritis in a newborn foal: parallel detection of the virus by immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction and virus isolation

A 4-days-old foal died after a short course of respiratory syndrome and fever. Large areas of the alveoli, bronchioles and bronchi were partly or completely filled by hyaline membranes. Pronounced oedema and mild interstitial pneumonia were present and, in the small muscular arteries, fibrinoid necrosis and vasculitis or perivasculitis could be seen. Vasculitis was found in several other organs, and it was most severe in the thymus. The virus was detected in the lung, kidney and spleen using virus isolation and in the lung and spleen using polymerase chain reaction. The virus was also detected in several organs and cell types using both N protein-specific monoclonal antibody and horseradish peroxidase-labelled equine arteritis virus-specific equine IgG.

为建立一种简单、快速、特异的口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)分子检测方法,本研究基于FMDV的3D基因,设计特异性引物和exo探针,建立了用于FMDV快速检测的等温实时荧光反转录重组酶聚合酶(Real-time RT-RPA)方法。该方法采用便携式等温扩增仪-Genie Ⅲ实时监测扩增结果,40℃20 min即可完成检测。结果显示,FMDV RT-RPA方法能够特异性扩增FMDV 3D基因,而对水泡性口炎病毒、猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒、猪瘟病毒、脑心肌炎病毒等均无扩增;以体外转录的FMDV 3D RNA作为模板,该方法在95%置信区间检出下限为1.0×10~2拷贝/μL,组内和组间变异系数均小于1%;使用43份含有灭活FMDV的模拟临床样品分析显示,RT-RPA对FMDV的检出率为34.9%(15/43),略低于荧光定量RT-PCR的检出率(39.5%,17/43),而两种方法的符合率为95.3%(41/43)。RT-RPA能够在6 min～16 min内完成检测,而实时荧光RT-PCR则需要30 min～51 min。本研究所建立的实时荧光RT-RPA方法反应快速,特异性强,灵敏性高,操作简单,结合便携式具有荧光检测功能的等温扩增仪Genie Ⅲ,组建了FMDV快速检测平台,在基层兽医部门,尤其在野外及疫情现场的FMDV检测中具有极大的应用潜力,为设备仪器有限的实验室和田间对FMDV的快速检测提供了一种有效的方法,对于条件有限地区FMD的防控具有重要意义。     

A polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of Leptospira spp. in bovine semen.

A rapid and specific method for the detection of pathogenic Leptospira spp. in bovine semen using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described. The primers used were derived from an EcoR1/BamH1 fragment that hybridized strongly to chromosomal DNA from the hardjobovis serovar. Three different extraction methods were evaluated in this study: phenol-chloroform extraction method, proteinase K (PK) in 1% SDS, followed by phenol-chloroform, and phenol-chloroform followed by 1% cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). A PCR product of approximately 500 base pairs (bp) in length was obtained when DNA from pure Leptospira culture was used as a template for PCR, regardless of the DNA extraction method used. The product was consistent with that predicted from the gene sequence. However, in semen seeded in vitro, as well as in semen from infected bulls, a PCR product was obtained only when the leptospiral DNA was extracted from the specimen using the CTAB method. In contrast, other methods used for DNA extraction did not generate suitable templates for the PCR procedure. This is the first PCR protocol developed to detect Leptospira in bovine semen. The PCR protocol provided a direct and unequivocal demonstration that Leptospira can be detected in semen of infected animals. The CTAB method was also used successfully in detecting Leptospira in the urine of infected animals. The PCR procedure was shown to be more sensitive than either the fluorescent antibody test (FAT) or culture for detecting the organism in urine.

Quantification of MDR-1 gene expression in canine tissues by real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction

MDR-1 gene product mediated multidrug resistance is thought to play a major role in the outcome of chemotherapy in some canine tumors, especially malignant lymphoma. In the present study, MDR-1 RNA expression in normal lymph node and liver tissue as well as in tumor biopsies from 23 dogs with lymphomas and two dogs with liver tumors was measured by real-time RT-quantitative PCR. MDR-1 gene expression was detected in all samples analyzed. Comparably high MDR-1 RNA levels were measured in all normal liver tissues, one of the lymphomas and a cholangiocarcinoma. MDR-1 expression levels in canine lymphomas were found to vary over a wide range with most tumors expressing relative low levels. Interestingly, gastrointestinal lymphomas expressed higher MDR-1 RNA levels than multicentric lymphomas (p = 0.03). In conclusion, real-time RT-quantitative PCR appears to be a suitable method for sensitive and quantitative determination of MDR-1 gene expression in canine normal and neoplastic tissues.
