[Establishment and Preliminary Application of the SYBR Green I Real-time PCR Assay for Detection of the Bovine Enterovirus].
The bovine enterovirus (BEV) is a pathogen found the digestive tracts of cattle. Recently, the BEV was discovered in cattle in a province in China. A rapid and effective detection method for the BEV is essential. An assay was carried out using two specific primers designed to amplify a highly conserved sequence of the 3D gene. A recombinant plasmid containing the target gene 3D was constructed as a standard control. The limit of detection of the reaction was 7.13 x 10(1) plasmid copies/μL of initial templates, which was tenfold more sensitive than the conventional reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Moreover, the assay was highly specific because all negative controls and other viruses of clinical relevance did not develop positive results. Assay performance on field samples was evaluated on 44 (41 diarrhea and 3 aerosol) samples and compared with the conventional RT-PCR assay. Sixteen diarrhea samples were positive (16/41, 39. 02%) and 3 aerosol samples were positive (3/3, 100%). Preliminary results for clinical detection showed that the SYBR Green I real-time PCR assay was highly sensitive, specific and reproducible. The robustness and high-throughput performance of the developed assay make it a powerful tool in diagnostic applications for epidemics and in BEV research.

Real-time PCR for rapid diagnosis of entero- and rhinovirus infections using LightCycler.
PCR techniques have proved to be more sensitive than traditional cell culture in the diagnosis of enterovirus and rhinovirus infections and are widely used in clinical virus laboratories. However, PCR assays are relatively time-consuming and labor intensive, particularly if separate hybridization steps are used to confirm the specificity of positive findings.. The aim of the present study was to develop fast and sensitive real-time PCR assay, which would allow simultaneous detection of entero- and rhinoviruses and their quantification in clinical and experimental samples.. Two real-time RT-PCR protocols were developed using LightCycler (LC) technology; SYBRGreen and hybridization probe assays. The sensitivity of these assays to detect entero- and rhinoviruses was compared with that of a traditional reference RT-PCR-hybridization assay and cell culture. All PCR protocols used the same primers amplifying the 5'-non coding region (NCR) of entero- and rhinoviruses. The LC probe assay and the reference RT-PCR used almost identical detection probes, which bind to enterovirus specific amplicons.. Both real-time PCR assays were equally sensitive as the reference RT-PCR-assay and all were more sensitive than cell culture. Both real-time assays quantified reliably the amount of the virus and took much shorter time than the reference RT-PCR. As the real-time SYBRGreen assay detects both entero- and rhinoviruses it can be used for primary screening of samples, which can be positive for either of these viruses. The real-time probe-assay can confirm the presence of enterovirus in SYBRGreen positive samples or it can be used for selective screening of enteroviruses e.g. from CSF samples.
