Evaluation of a multiplex real-time RT-PCR for quantitative and differential detection of wild-type viruses and C-strain vaccine of Classical swine fever virus

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is the causative agent of classical swine fever (CSF), one of OIE listed diseases. Most of the currently available detection methods do not allow discrimination between wild-type CSF viruses and the vaccine strains. This study was designed to develop a multiplex real-time RT-PCR for the quantitative and differential detection of wild-type viruses and C-strain vaccine widely used in China. CSFV specific primers and two differently labeled TaqMan probes for the differentiation of wild-type viruses from C-strain vaccine were designed in the 5'-untranslated region of the viral genome of CSFV. The two TaqMan probes specifically hybridize wild-type viruses of different subgroups and C-strain vaccine, respectively, in the multiplex real-time RT-PCR, with no cross-reaction to a number of non-CSFV porcine viruses. The sensitivity of the assay for detecting wild-type and C-strain-type vaccine viruses was determined to be 41.8 and 81.5copies/microL viral RNA, respectively. Completely correct differentiation of wild-type viruses from C-strain vaccine was achieved when testing reference strains and characterized field isolates of CSFV in China. The multiplex real-time RT-PCR was able to detect the viral RNA in the whole blood samples of experimentally infected pigs as early as 2 days post-infection, 3 to 4 days prior to the onset of clinical signs in co-housed pigs. The agreements between the multiplex real-time RT-PCR and a multiplex RT-nested PCR for detection of wild-type and C-strain-type viruses were 96.9% and 100%, respectively, when detecting 106 different field samples. There is a positive correlation between the titers of C-strain vaccines titrated in rabbits and RNA copies quantitated by the multiplex real-time RT-PCR. The novel assay described here is rapid and sensitive, and is useful for differentiating field strains and C-strain of CSFV in China.     

Development of a triplex TaqMan real-time RT-PCR assay for differential detection of wild-type and HCLV vaccine strains of classical swine fever virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus 1

In this study, genomic sequences of pestiviruses available in GenBank were aligned to design three primer pairs and TaqMan probes: two targeting the NS5A region of the viral genome of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) for the differentiation of wild-type CSFV and hog cholera lapinized vaccine (HCLV) vaccine, and one targeting the 5'-untranslated region of bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (BVDV-1). With these primers and probes, a triplex TaqMan real-time RT-PCR assay was developed for differentiating wild-type CSFV, the HCLV strain, and BVDV-1. The detection limit of the assay was 4.5 TCID(50) for wild-type CSFV, 10 TCID(50) for HCLV-strain CSFV, and 3.2 TCID(50) for BVDV-1. The triplex real-time RT-PCR had at least 98% (248 samples) agreement with other RT-PCR methods. The assay provides a sensitive tool for simultaneous detection and differentiation of wild-type CSFV and HCLV from BVDV-1.
