We aimed to establish two kinds of TaqMan real-time PCR methods based on PCV20RF1 and ORF2 respectively and compare them. [Method] According to the relatively'conserved sequences of PCV20RF1 and ORF2 registered in GenBank, two pairs of specific primers and TaqMan probes were designed and synthesized. Then the recombinant plasmids containing the whole sequences of PCV20RF1 and ORF2 were constructed to draw the standard curves through optimizing the reaction system and conditions. And thus two kinds of TaqMan real-time PCR detection methods based on the whole sequences of ORF1 and ORF2 respectively were constructed for PCV2. [Result] For the two established standard curves, the Ct values showed a good linear relationship with the loga- rithms of copy numbers of templates (F2〉0.99). The amplification efficiency ranged from 90% to 110%. The amplifications all had a good repeatability with variation coefficients within groups all less than 5%. Moreover, the amplifications all had a good specificity. When the sequences of porcine parvovirus (PPV), porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1), swine pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were used as templates, the target sequence was not amplified. The amplifications also had a high sensitivity. The ORF1 detection method could reach 1.0x10T copies/;ul, and the ORF2 detection method could reach 1.0×10^2 copies/μl. The two established real-time PCR detection methods were used to detect the 80 clinical samples respectively. The results showed the magnitudes of 72 amplified samples were basically consistent between the 2 detection methods, while the magnitudes of the other 8 amplified samples were inconsistent. Then the 8 samples were detected with SYBR Green I real-time PCR method established based on the sequence of PCV2-1ike factor P1 by Wen et aL The PCV2-1ike factor P1 was amplified in all the 8 samples, indicating the 8 samples were all infected with PCV2-1ike factor P1. [Conclusion] The ORFl-based detection method has a higher accuracy, and it can be used for the rapid detection of PCV2.展开更多

[Method] Primers and a probe were designed according to the conserved sequence of N gene in TGEV genome. After gradient dilution, the recombinant plasmid harboring the N gene was used as a standard for real-time PCR assay to establish the standard curve. [Re- sult] The results showed that the established real-time PCR assay exhibited a good linear relationship within the range of 102-10^10 copies/ul; the correlation coefficient was above 0.99 and the amplification efficiency ranged from 90% to 110%. The de- tection limit of real-time PCR assay for TGEV was 10 copies/μl, suggesting a high sensitivity; there was no cross reaction with other porcine viruses, indicating a good specificity; coefficients of variation within and among batches were lower than 3%, suggesting a good repeatability. The established real-time PCR method could be ap- plied in quantitative analysis and evaluation of the immune efficacy of TGEV vac- cines and detection of TGEV in clinical samples. [Conclusion] The TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay established in this study is highly sensitive and specific, which can provide technical means for the epidemiological survey of TGEV, development of TGEV vaccines and investigation of the pathogenesis of TGE.展开更多

Fluorescence data acquired once per cycle provides rapid absolute quantification of initial template copy numbers as PCR products are generated. This technique significantly simplifies and accelerates the process of producing reproducible quantification of nucleic acid molecules. It not only is a sensitive, accurate and rapid quantitative method, but it also provides an easier way to calculate the absolute starting copy number of nucleic acid molecules to be tested. Together with molecular bio-techniques, like microarray, real-time PCR will play a very important role in many aspects of molecular life science such as functional gene analysis and disease molecular diagnostics. This review introduces the detailed principles and application of the real-time PCR technique, describes a recently developed system for exact quantification of AUX/IAA genes In Arabidopsis, and discusses the problems with the real-time PCR process.展开更多
