A multiplex-PCR and microarray-based method was designed for detection of eight herpesviruses from clinical specimens.
To improve the method, especially for detection of herpes simplex (HSV) and varicella-zoster viruses (VZV), and to update and validate the method using positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples.
A new primer pair for HSV-PCR and four detection oligonucleotides for HSVs were designed. Two new detection oligonucleotides for VZV and additional oligonucleotides for CMV, EBV, HHV-6 and -7 were designed. The new and previous multiplex-PCR and microarray method were tested in parallel with dilution series of commercial herpesvirus DNAs and 20 CSF specimens positive for HSV-1, HSV-2, or VZV.
New method was more sensitive for detection of HSVs and both two new detection oligonucleotides for VZV functioned well at low levels of viral DNA.
The revised HSV-PCR and new HSV- and VZV-oligonucleotides were found to function well and be more sensitive, thereby increasing reliability of the method.
设计了一种基于多重聚合酶链反应(PCR)和微阵列的方法,用于从临床标本中检测八种疱疹病毒。
改进该方法,特别是用于检测单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)和水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV),并使用阳性脑脊液(CSF)样本更新和验证该方法。
设计了一对用于HSV-PCR的新引物对和四种用于HSV的检测寡核苷酸。设计了两种用于VZV的新检测寡核苷酸以及用于巨细胞病毒(CMV)、EB病毒(EBV)、人类疱疹病毒6型(HHV-6)和7型(HHV-7)的其他寡核苷酸。将新的和先前的多重PCR和微阵列方法与商业疱疹病毒DNA的稀释系列以及20份HSV-1、HSV-2或VZV阳性的脑脊液标本进行平行测试。
新方法对HSV的检测更敏感,并且两种用于VZV的新检测寡核苷酸在低水平病毒DNA时均能良好发挥作用。
发现修订后的HSV-PCR以及新的HSV和VZV寡核苷酸功能良好且更敏感,从而提高了该方法的可靠性。
