This study shows the relative quantification of HSV-2 by qPCR, using the MIQE Guidelines. The reaction efficiency was evaluated, and the relative quantification used the R = 2 method. The relative quantification of HSV-2 was conducted with anal and genital samples from men who have sex with men (MSM), living with HIV. The presence of a single amplification product was validated with a dissociation curves profile and the determination of the melting temperature. The limit of detection for β-globin was determined as 3.3 × 10 ng/μL, and for HSV-2 at 6.0 × 10 ng/μL. The efficiency for β-globin was 100.2% and for HSV-2 was 106.8%. From 336 MSM, 2.1% and 3.9% individuals presented anal or genital HSV-2 shedding, respectively. The HSV-2 viral load was 9.2 RU, individuals with fewer CD4 presented higher HSV-2 viral load. The qPCR method is reproducible and has optimal reaction efficiency.
本研究采用 MIQE 指南,通过 qPCR 对 HSV-2 进行相对定量。评估了反应效率,并采用 R=2 法进行相对定量。对与 HIV 共存的男男性接触者(MSM)的肛门和生殖器样本进行 HSV-2 的相对定量。通过解链曲线分析和熔解温度的测定来验证单一扩增产物的存在。β-珠蛋白的检测限为 3.3×10ng/μL,HSV-2 的检测限为 6.0×10ng/μL。β-珠蛋白的效率为 100.2%,HSV-2 的效率为 106.8%。在 336 名 MSM 中,分别有 2.1%和 3.9%的个体存在肛门或生殖器 HSV-2 脱落。HSV-2 的病毒载量为 9.2 RU,CD4 计数较少的个体 HSV-2 病毒载量较高。qPCR 方法具有良好的重现性和最佳的反应效率。
