In order to screen for new polyomaviruses in samples derived from various animal species, degenerated PCR primer pairs were constructed. By using a nested PCR protocol, the sensitive detection of nine different polyomavirus genomes was demonstrated. The screening of field samples revealed the presence of a new polyomavirus, tentatively designated chimpanzee polyomavirus (ChPyV), in the feces of a juvenile chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Analysis of the region encoding the major capsid protein VP1 revealed a unique insertion in the EF loop of the protein and showed that ChPyV is a distinct virus related to the monkey polyomavirus B-lymphotropic polyomavirus and the human polyomavirus JC polyomavirus.
为了在源自各种动物物种的样本中筛选新的多瘤病毒,构建了简并PCR引物对。通过使用巢式PCR方案,证明了能灵敏检测九种不同的多瘤病毒基因组。对野外样本的筛查显示,在一只幼年黑猩猩(黑猩猩属)的粪便中存在一种新的多瘤病毒,暂命名为黑猩猩多瘤病毒(ChPyV)。对编码主要衣壳蛋白VP1的区域进行分析,发现该蛋白的EF环中有一个独特的插入序列,表明ChPyV是一种与猴多瘤病毒B淋巴细胞嗜性多瘤病毒和人多瘤病毒JC多瘤病毒相关的独特病毒。
