Quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR) provides a rapid, specific, and sensitive method for the determination of yellow fever viral load and presents many advantages including quantitative measurement, low contamination rate, and easy standardization. Here it is presented a semi-automatic RNA extraction followed by one-step PCR reaction. Genome copies were quantified by plasmid standard curve designed to NS5 region. This method provides a specific, rapid, and sensitive diagnosis to yellow fever virus (YFV).
定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(qPCR)为测定黄热病毒载量提供了一种快速、特异且灵敏的方法,具有许多优点,包括定量测量、低污染率和易于标准化。本文介绍了一种半自动RNA提取方法,随后进行一步PCR反应。通过针对NS5区域设计的质粒标准曲线对基因组拷贝数进行定量。该方法为黄热病毒(YFV)提供了特异、快速且灵敏的诊断。
