Three new human polyomaviruses have been recently described, and investigating their in vivo biology and pathogenicity will require sensitive and rational detection assays.
To develop and evaluate a sensitive and rational assay for detection of the newly identified KI and WU polyomaviruses.
A single-tube, dual-probe, real-time PCR assay for simultaneous detection and discrimination of KI and WU polyomaviruses was developed.
The assay had near single-molecule sensitivity for both viruses and no cross-reactivity was observed. A panel of 637 nasopharyngeal aspirates was screened, resulting in a frequency of 1.4% for KIPyV and 1.3% for WUPyV.
The dual-probe assay provides a rational approach for further studies of KIPyV and WUPyV.
最近发现了三种新的人类多瘤病毒,对其体内生物学特性和致病性进行研究需要灵敏且合理的检测方法。
开发并评估一种灵敏且合理的检测新发现的KI和WU多瘤病毒的方法。
开发了一种单管双探针实时PCR检测方法,用于同时检测和鉴别KI和WU多瘤病毒。
该检测方法对两种病毒均具有近乎单分子的灵敏度,未观察到交叉反应。对637份鼻咽抽吸物样本进行筛查,结果显示KI多瘤病毒(KIPyV)的检出率为1.4%,WU多瘤病毒(WUPyV)的检出率为1.3%。
双探针检测方法为进一步研究KIPyV和WUPyV提供了一种合理的途径。
