[Method] Since gp48 gene of BVDV is among the most conserved regions, a set of four primers was designed to amplify six target sequences at the gp48 gene region for the RT-LAMP assay. The optimization of the RT-LAMP reaction was performed by evaluat-ing reaction temperature and reaction time. [Result] The RT-LAMP aasay was suc-cessful y conducted at 56 ℃ within 40 min under isothermal conditions, and the re-sults could be detected as ladder-like bands using agarose gel electrophoresis. The RT-LAMP assay is highly sensitive and able to detect 3.74 ×100 copies/μl of BVDV RNA, as no cross-reaction was observed with other viruses. [Conclusion] Overal , the newly established RT-LAMP assay indicates the potential application in both clinical diagnosis and field surveil ance of BVDV.展开更多

A rapid, sensitive and specific MCDV detection method using reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification （RT-LAMP） was estab- lished in this study. Based on the sequence of MCDV coat protein coding gene, specific primers were designed and similar sensitivities were observed between RT- LAMP and RT-PCR, except that RT-LAMP was quicker, and the reaction could be finished within 1 h. In addition, the presence or absence of the fluorescent display in daylight allows naked easy detection of the amplification of MCDV genomic RNA using calcein. The RT-LAMP assay was applied successfully to detect MCDV in maize seeds, and the result by the addition of calcein was consistent with the result detected by the real time turbidimeter.展开更多

The one step reaction was performed in a single tube at 65?C for 45 min for EV71 and 35 min for CVA16. The detection limits of RT-LAMP assays for both EV71 and CVA16 were 0.1 of a 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) per reaction, based on 10—Fold dilutions of a titrated EV71 or CVA16 strain. The specific assay showed there were no cross-reactions with Coxsackievirus A (CVA) viruses (CVA 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 14, and 25), Coxsackievirus B (CVB) viruses (CVB 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) or ECHO viruses (ECHO 3, 6, 11, and 19). In parallel with commercial quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) diagnostic kits for EV71 and CVA16, the RT-LAMP assay was evaluated with 515 clinical specimens, the results showed the RT-LAMP assay and the qRT-PCR assay were in complete agreement for 513/515 (99.6%) of the specimens. Two samples with discrepant results from two methods were further verified by nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) assay and sequencing to be true positives for CVA16. In conclusion, RT-LAMP assay is demonstrated to be a sensitive and specific assay and have a great potential for the rapid and visual screening of EV71 and CVA16 in China, especially in those resource-limited hospitals and rural clinics of provincial and municipal regions.展开更多

Based on the sequence of MCMV coat protein coding gene, 3 sets of primers were designed and specificity test showed that the second set of primers was specific to MCMV, Similar sensitivities were observed on RT-LAMP and RT-PCR, except that RT-LAMP was quicker, and the reaction could be finished within 1 h. In addition, the presence or absence of the fluorescence under daylight allows naked easy detection of the amplification of MCMV genomic RNA using calcein. The RT-LAMP assay was applied successfully to detect MCMV in maize seeds, and the result by the addition of calcein was consistent with the result detected by the real time turbidimeter. The method is rapid, specific, sensitive without the need for complicated equipment, and is suitable for rapid field detection of MCMV.展开更多
