The coat protein (CP) gene of Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), a member of the genus Ilarvirus, was selected for the design of virus-specific primers for amplification and molecular detection of the virus in cultivated apple. A combined assay of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed with a single pair of ApMV-specific primers and crude nucleic acid extracts from virus-infected apple for rapid detection of the virus. The PCR product was verified by restriction mapping analysis and by sequence determination. The lowest concentration of template viral RNA required for detection was 100 fg. This indicates that the RT-PCR for detection of the virus is a 10$^3$times more sensitive, reproducible and time-saving method than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The specificity of the primers was verified using other unrelated viral RNAs. No PCR product was observed when Cucumber mosaic virus (Cucumovirus) or a crude extract of healthy apple was used as a template in RT-PCR with the same primers. The PCR product (669 bp) of the CP gene of the virus was cloned into the plasmid vector and result-ant recombinant (pAPCP1) was selected for molecule of apple transformation to breed virus-resistant transgenic apple plants as the next step. This method can be useful for early stage screening of in vitro plantlet and genetic resources of resistant cultivar of apple plants.

Tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV), cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV), cucumber green mottle mosaic tobamovirus (CGMMV) and zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus (ZYMV) from individual fruits and seeds of hot pepper and cucumber were detected by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The dilution end-points for RT-PCR in curde sap from TMV. and CMV - infected hot pepper leaves and CMV - and CGMMV-infected cucumber leaves were 10-5. However, the amount of PCR product obtained from preparation of ZYMV-infected cucumber leaf was 10-fold lower than those of CMV or CGMMV-infected cucumber leaves. In hot pepper, both TMV and CMV were detected in all parts of the fruit wall tissue, but the yields of PCR products in the fruit stalk and its surrounding tissues were higher than those of the end parts of the fruit. On the other hand, in cucumber fruit infected with CMV, CGMMV or ZYMV, the fruit wall tissue and seed located in both stalk and end parts showed higher yields of PCR products than those of intermediate parts. Of five viruses that were analysed, only TMV in hot pepper seed, and CGMMV and CMV in cucumber seed were detected in testa parts.

Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was used to detect SMV strains. A pair of oligonucleotide primers were designed to include the cylindrical inclusion (CI) coding region between 4,176 to 5,560 nt. Amplification from the total RNA extracted from infected plants with SMV yielded a 1,385 bp DNA fragment. RT-PCR was shown to be $10^3$ times more sensitive than the ELISA assay and it could detect a virus in $10^{-6}$ dilution. Restriction enzyme analysis of RT- PCR products using EcoR I showed that SMV isolates were classified into six groups according to the patterns of restriction fragments.

Six viruses of the genera Carlavirus (Garlic mosaic virus, GarMV, and Garlic latent virus, GarLV), Allexivirus (Garlic virus X, GarV-X, and Garlic mite-borne filamentous virus, GarMbFV) and Potyvirus (Leek yellow stripe virus, LYSV, and Onion yellow dwarf virus, OYDV) from Korean garlic plants with mosaic symptoms were simultaneously detected by multiplex RT-PCR and subsequently sequenced. An immunocapture RT-PCR for the detection of GarLV, LYSV, and OYDV was also performed. The coat protein phylogenetic analysis of the garlic viruses showed that the Korean isolates were most closely related to the isolates from China, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina. This study is the first report for the differentiation of six garlic viruses in Korea by simultaneous detection using multiplex RT-PCR.

To develop the diagnostic method for the viral infection in apple, the partial genes corresponding to the N-terminal region of RNA polymerase of Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and coat protein of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) were characterized from the infected apple cultivars in Korea. Based on the nucleotide sequences of the characterized partial genes, the virus gene-specific primers were designed for the detection of ASGV and ACLSV infected in species of Malus. The RT-PCR using the primers for the genes of ASGV and ACLSV successfully gave rise to 404 and 566 bp DNA fragments, respectively. Using those viral gene-specific primers, the multiplex RT-PCR assays were also established to diagnose the mixed infection by ASGV and ACLSV simultaneously. Furthermore, the control primers, which have to be included for the RT-PCR as an internal control, were designed using the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding elongation factor $1{\alpha}(EF1{\alpha})$. This multiplex RT-PCR including the control primers provides more reliable, rapid and sensitive assay for the detection of ASGV and ACLSV infected in Korean apple cultivars.

Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious infection of poultry, Two pathology-based techniques, in situ RT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH) were applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from chickens naturally infected with velogenic ND virus (VNDV). Two pairs of primers and a probe for ISH and in situ RT-PCR, respectively, were selected from highly conserved region of matrix gene of NDV. The ISH experiment was carried out using MicroProbe$^{TM}$ capillary action system within 2 hours. In situ RT-PCR was performed using MicroProbe$^{TM}$ capillary action system and GeneAmp In Situ PCR system. With ISH and in situ RT-PCR, viral nucleic acid was detected in the central nervous system of chickens from infected with neurotropic velogenic Newcastle disease virus (NVNDV), whereas viral nucleic acid was detected in various organs or tissues of chickens from infected with viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle disease virus (VVNDV). In the NVND group, positive signals were characteristically defined in the cytoplasm of neuron, vascular endothelial cells, and perivascular mononuclear macrophages in the central nervous system. One of NVND group, chicken from one farm exhibited positive signals in the bronchial epithelium. The VVND group chickens showed positive reaction in the macrophages, vascular endothelium, and bronchiolar epithelium. Markedly, viral nucleic acid was detected in the macrophages of morphologically normal tissues which were peripheral or located in distant areas from lesions. The central nervous system of chickens infected with VVND virus had positive signals in the vascular endothelial cell, perivascular mononuclear macrophages and some neuron. The number and intensity of the positive cells by in situ RT-PCR were more and stronger, respectively, in comparison with those by ISH. Particularly, positive reaction was detected in macrophages infiltrating in cardiac muscle by in situ RT-PCR, but not obtained by ISH. Therefore, these results demonstrated that ISH is a rapid diagnostic method for detection of NDV and in situ RT-PCR can be used as an efficient method for detection of low viral load infection or subclinical viral infection of NDV.

목 적:호흡기 감염의 증상이 없는 소아들을 대상으로 다중 역전사중합효소연쇄반응법(multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; mRT-PCR)을 이용하여 비인두 상주균의 이환율을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법:2008년 7월 25일부터 28일까지 33명의 소아들을 대상으로 비강 면봉채취법으로 검체를 채취하였으며, 이들은 검체 채취 당시 심각한 호흡기 감염의 증상이 없었다. 모아진 검체에서 DNA를 추출한 후 multiplex primer set ($Seeplex^{(R)}$ PneumoBacter ACE Detection, Seegene, Seoul, Korea)로 PCR을 진행하였다. 증폭된 반응산물은 2% agarose gel과 전기 영동 자동화 시스템인 screen tape system (Lab901, Scottland, UK)에 각각 전기 영동하여 확인하였다. 결 과:전체 33명의 소아 중 남아는 15명 여아는 18명이었으며, 나이는 3.2세에서 16.3세로 중앙값은 8.2세였다. mRT-PCR 결과 30명(90.9%)의 소아들에서 양성을 보였으며(S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, C. pneumoniae, B. pertussis), 이들 중 13명(39.4%)에서 2가지 이상의 균이 검출되었다. 균의 종류로는 12명(36.4%)에서는 S. pneumoniae와 H. influenzae, 1명(3.0%)에서는 S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae와 C. pneumoniae이 검출되었다.. 결 론:mRT-PCR은 비인두 상주균의 동정에 있어서 민감도가 높은 방법으로 생각된다. 하지만 비인두 상주균에 대한 PCR 결과가 소아들의 임상 양상과 어느 정도 일치할지에 대해서는 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
