Abstract:
PURPOSE: A medium for maintainig and determining west nile is provided to reduce the exposure by high risk virus and to shorten the use of harmful reagents. CONSTITUTION: A medium for maintaining and detecting west nile contains alpha-MEM or DMEM containing 1-10 g/L of glucose and pH indicator. The pH indicator is phenol red. A potency assay method for detecting west nile comprises: a step of culturing west nile host cells and a sample in the medium; and a step of measuring the pH concentration of the medium to detecting west nile virus and tittering west nile in a sample. The host cells are monkey kidney cells.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for distinguishing and diagnosing west nile virus and Japanese encephalitis virus is provided to simultaneously test two kinds of Togaviridae and flaviviridae viruses. CONSTITUTION: A primer set for detecting west nile virus and Japanese encephalitis virus contains: a west nile-specific primer set having a sense primer of sequence numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 and an antisense primer of sequence numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; and a Japanese encephalitis virus-specific primer set having a sense primer of sequence numbers 10 and 11 and an antisense primer of sequence numbers 12 and 13. A composition for detecting the west nile virus and Japanese encephalitis virus contains the primer sets. The composition is an RT-PCR kit.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A single tube-multiplex RT-PCR for simultaneously detecting eastern equine encephalitis, western equine encephalitis, and venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses is provided to construct quick and efficient virus diagnosis system. CONSTITUTION: A single tube-multiplex RT-PCR for simultaneously detecting eastern equine encephalitis, western equine encephalitis, and venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses contains RT-PCR primer set, reaction buffer. DNA polymerase, and reverse transcriptase. A RT-PCR primer set contains primers of sequence numbers 1 and 2, sequence numbers 3 and 4, or sequence number 5 and 6.
Abstract:
본 발명은 웨스트나일바이러스와 일본뇌염바이러스의 감별 진단에 관한 것으로, 보다 자세하게는 웨스트나일바이러스와 일본뇌염바이러스 각각에 특이적인 프라이머 세트, 상기 프라이머 세트를 포함하는 웨스트나일바이러스와 일본뇌염바이러스의 감별 검출용 조성물 및 상기 프라이머 세트를 이용하여 RT-PCR을 실시하는 단계를 포함하는 웨스트나일바이러스와 일본뇌염바이러스의 감별 검출 방법에 관한 것이다. 상기한 2종의 바이러스들은 모두 플라비바이러스속에 속하는 유사바이러스로서 사람과 말 등에 일단 감염되면 뇌염과 고열 등의 임상증상이 유사하여 감별진단이 필요하다. 본 발명은 실험실 진단시 단일튜브에서 상기한 2종의 플라비바이러스들을 동시에 검사할 수 있기 때문에 신속한 진단에 활용이 가능하다.
