By adding betaine to the PCR mixture, we previously established a PCR method to amplify a DNA segment of the glycoprotein G gene of B virus (BV) derived from a rhesus macaque. We have found that DNA of other BV strains derived from cynomolgus, pigtail, and lion-tailed macaques can also serve as the template in our PCR assay. Under the same conditions no product was obtained with DNA of simian agent 8 of green monkeys and Herpesvirus papio 2 of baboons, or the human herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2. Thus, this PCR method is useful to discriminate BV from other closely related primate alphaherpesviruses.
通过在聚合酶链反应(PCR)混合物中添加甜菜碱,我们之前建立了一种PCR方法,用于扩增源自恒河猴的B病毒(BV)糖蛋白G基因的DNA片段。我们发现,源自食蟹猴、猪尾猴和狮尾猕猴的其他BV毒株的DNA也可作为我们PCR检测中的模板。在相同条件下,绿猴的猿猴病毒8和狒狒的狒猴疱疹病毒2的DNA,以及人类单纯疱疹病毒1型和2型,均未获得产物。因此,这种PCR方法有助于区分BV与其他密切相关的灵长类α疱疹病毒。
