[Method] Since gp48 gene of BVDV is among the most conserved regions, a set of four primers was designed to amplify six target sequences at the gp48 gene region for the RT-LAMP assay. The optimization of the RT-LAMP reaction was performed by evaluat-ing reaction temperature and reaction time. [Result] The RT-LAMP aasay was suc-cessful y conducted at 56 ℃ within 40 min under isothermal conditions, and the re-sults could be detected as ladder-like bands using agarose gel electrophoresis. The RT-LAMP assay is highly sensitive and able to detect 3.74 ×100 copies/μl of BVDV RNA, as no cross-reaction was observed with other viruses. [Conclusion] Overal , the newly established RT-LAMP assay indicates the potential application in both clinical diagnosis and field surveil ance of BVDV.展开更多

A rapid, sensitive and specific MCDV detection method using reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification （RT-LAMP） was estab- lished in this study. Based on the sequence of MCDV coat protein coding gene, specific primers were designed and similar sensitivities were observed between RT- LAMP and RT-PCR, except that RT-LAMP was quicker, and the reaction could be finished within 1 h. In addition, the presence or absence of the fluorescent display in daylight allows naked easy detection of the amplification of MCDV genomic RNA using calcein. The RT-LAMP assay was applied successfully to detect MCDV in maize seeds, and the result by the addition of calcein was consistent with the result detected by the real time turbidimeter.展开更多
