A kit of specific oligonucleotide primers and hybridization probes has been proposed to detect orthopoxviruses (OPV) and to discriminate human pathogenic viruses, such as variola virus and monkey virus by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For real-time PCR, the following pairs of fluorophore and a fluorescence quencher were used: TAMRA-BHQ2 for genus-specific probes and FAM-BHQ1 for species-specific ones (variola virus, monkeypox virus, ectomelia virus). The specificity of this assay was tested on 38 strains of 6 OPV species and it was 100%.
已提出一套特异性寡核苷酸引物和杂交探针,用于通过实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测正痘病毒(OPV),并区分人类致病病毒,如天花病毒和猴痘病毒。对于实时PCR,使用了以下荧光团和荧光淬灭剂对:用于属特异性探针的TAMRA-BHQ2和用于种特异性探针(天花病毒、猴痘病毒、兔痘病毒)的FAM-BHQ1。该检测方法在6种OPV物种的38个菌株上进行了特异性测试,结果为100%。
