돼지 설사유발 칼리시 바이러스(Porcine enteric calicivirus: PECV)도 자돈에서 설사를 일으키는 바이러스로 이미 알려졌다. RT-PCR과 nested PCR을 이용하여 국내 양돈장에서 PECV의 발생을 조사하고자 본 연구를 시도하였다. 설사 분변은 경기, 충남, 전북, 전남과 제주지역에 분포한 31개의 농장 102마리의 자돈에서 채취하여 의뢰된 것을 조사하였다. RT-PCR 과 nested PCR 을 위하여 RNA dependent RNA Polymerase (RDRP) 부위와 capsid 부위에서 각각 2 쌍의 primer를 작성하였다. RDRP 부위에서 RT-PCR을 시행했던 바, 3마리 (2.9％) 에서, nested PCR에서는 18마리 (17.6％)에서 양성반응이 나왔으며 capsid 부위에서 RT-PCR 결과 5마리 (4.9％), nested PCR에서는 18마리(17.6％)가 양성반응으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 PECV가 국내에서 돼지 설사를 일으키는 주요 원인체 중 하나라는 것이 밝혀졌으며, nested PCR 기법이 돼지 설사분변에서 PECV를 검출하는 좋은 진단방법이었다.

Poliovirus is a member of enterovirus which causes paralytic poliomyelitis, encephalitis and aseptic meningitis. Since poliovirus is spread by the fecal-oral route and poliovirus-contaminated water could be a potential threat for public health, detection of poliovirus in drinking water resource is important. Infectious poliovirus and poliovirus inactivated by heat or UV were used to test three detection methods such as cell culture method, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and integrated cell culture (ICC)-PCR. Infectious poliovirus was detected by all three methods and ICC-PCR was the most sensitive and fast in detecting poliovirus. Inactivated polioviruses could not be detected by cell culture or ICC-PCR methods. On the other hand, heat- inactivated viruses could be detected by RT-PCR. Thus it is suggested that ICC-PCR method is the most sensitive and effective in detecting infectious polioviruses in water sample.

A PT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) diagnostic method for potato virus Y (PVY) was developed using primer pair derived from conserved region of coat protein genes of several PVY strains, A 764 bp PCR product was detected from several lines of potato cv. Atlantic. We could prove that the 764 bp DNA fragment was indeed the PVY gene by sequencing analysis. PVY detection method using RT-PCR technique was about tuber tissue.

감자 잎말림 바이러스를 검정하기 위하여 ELISA 및 전자현미경에 의해 바이러스 감염이 확인된 기내 배양중인 감장의 줄기로부터 RT-PCR 분석을 수행하였다. 분리된 총 RNA들로부터 바이러스 cDNA를 합성하고 감자 잎말림 바이러스 외피단백질의 일부인 465bp를 특이하게 증폭하도록 고안한 두 primer를 사용하여 PCR 반응을 하였다. 증폭된 465pb의 DNA 절편의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 역시 감자 잎말림 바이러스임을 확인하였다. 바이러스 검정에 있어서 EL-ISA 방법과 RT-PCR 방법간의 민감도를 조사한 결과 RT-PCR 방법간의 민감도를 조사한 결과 RT-PCR 방법이 ELISA 방법보다 감자 잎말림 바이러스검정에 있어서보다 정확한 방법인 것으로 사료된다.

Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and nested PCR methods (2-step PCR) were tested for their ability to detect marine birnavirus (MBV) in cultured rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli. One set of primers for RT-PCR was designed, based on a gene of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), and another set of primers for nested PCR was designed based on the VP2/NS junction region of MBV. This 2-step PCR method was specific for MBV and sensitivity was heightened when nested PCR was combined to RT-PCR. This 2-step PCR method was useful for detecting MBV not only in diseased fish, but also in asymptomatic fish. These results indicate that this 2-step PCR method is useful for detecting MBV in rockfish.

Turnip mosaic virus)TuMV-Ca) was isolated from a Chinese cabbage showing severe mosaic and black necrotic spots symptoms in Korea. The virus was identified as a strain of TuMV by its host range test, particle morphology, serology, double stranded RNA analysis. For detection of the virus, reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was performed with a set of 18-mer TuMV-specific primers to amplify a 876 bp DNA fragment The virus was rapidly detected from total nucleic acids of virus infected tissues as well as native viral RNA of purified virion particles by RT-PCR. Detection limit of the viral RNA by RT-PCR was 10 fg.

본 연구에서는 돼지 로타바이러스의 혈청형 A, B 및 C를 동시에 진단할 수 있는 RT-PCR 기법을 개발하였다. 각각의 혈청형에 특이적인 primer를 이용하여 RT-PCR 기법으로 분변시료에서 직접 바이러스 동정을 실시한 결과, 23건의 로타바이러스 감염 분변 시료에서 13건이 혈청형 A, 3건이 혈청형 B, 2건이 혈청형 C로 나타나 국내에서도 A, B 및 C형의 돼지 로타바이러스가 공히 발생하고 있음을 확인하였으며, 발생분포는 외국의 예와 유사하였다. 이 RT-PCR기법은 돼지 로타바이러스의 주요 혈청형인 A, B 및 C형의 동시감별진단법으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to detect cymbidium mosaic potexvirus (CymMV) and odontoglossum ringspot tobamovirus (ORSV) in cultivated orchid plants in Korea. The standard double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were carried out for detection of the viruses in the collected orchid samples. ELISA was suitable for massive-scale diagnostic method for virus detection in orchids. RT-PCR was rapid, time-saving and reliable detective method, and detection limit data showed that RT-PCR was 103 times more sensitive than ELISA. Of the 321 individual orchids representing 5 orchids genera tested by the ELISA, CymMV and ORSV were detected in 15.6% and 22.4%, and mixed infection of the both viruses with 4.9%, respectively. Of the Cymbidium plants tested, cultivated plants showed 52.5% virus infection rate with either CymMV or ORSV and both viruses.

Based upon the nucleotide sequence of As strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-As0 RNA4, coat protein (CP) gene was selected for the design of oligonucleotide primers of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection and identification of the virus. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed with a set of 18-mer CMV CP-specific primers to amplify a 671 bp fragment from crude nucleic acid extracts of virus-infected leaf tissues as well as purified viral RNAs. The minimum concentrations of template viral RNA and crude nucleic acids from infected tobacco tissue required to detect the virus were 1.0 fg and 1:65,536 (w/v), respectively. No PCR product was obtained when potato virus Y-VN RNA or extracts of healthy plants were used as templates in RT-PCR using the same primers. The RT-PCR detected CMV-Y strain as well as CMV-As strain. Restriction analysis of the two individual PCR amplified DNA fragments from CMV-As and CMV-Y strains showed distinct polymorphic patterns. PCR product from CMV-As has a single recognition site for EcoRI and EcoRV, respectively, and the product from CMV-Y has no site for EcoRI or EcoRV but only one site for HindIII. The RT-PCR was able to detect the virus in the tissues of infected pepper, tomato and Chinese cabbage plants.

A one-step multiplex reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) method comprising six primer sets (for the detection of norovirus GI and GII, hepatitis A virus, rotavirus, and astrovirus) was developed to simultaneously detect four kinds of pathogenic viruses. The size of the PCR products for norovirus GI and GII, hepatitis A virus (VP3/VP1 and P2A regions), rotavirus, and astrovirus were 330, 164, 244, 198, 629, and 449 bp, respectively. The RT-PCR with the six primer sets showed specificity for the pathogenic viruses. The detection limit of the developed multiplex RT-PCR, as evaluated using serially diluted viral RNAs, was comparable to that of one-step single RT-PCR. Moreover, this multiplex RT-PCR was evaluated using food samples such as water, oysters, lettuce, and vegetable product. These food samples were artificially spiked with the four kinds of viruses in diverse combinations, and the spiked viruses in all food samples were detected successfully.
