Reverse transcription in situ PCR detection of borna disease virus infection
AIM: To establish reverse transcription in situ PCR (RT ISPCR) detection of borna disease virus (BDV) infection and compare it with RT-PCR and ELISA detection. METHODS: The OL cells which used as BDV detection model were transfected by plasmid, BDV-GFP-P24, and tested by RT-PCR. All the BDV positive samples and negative controls ( both human and animal) were tested by RT ISPCR, RT-PCR and ELISA. RESULTS:The BDV detection model was confirmed by RT-PCR. 4 samples were detected positive and 10 samples were negative by RT IS PCR. The results were only slight different to that of RT-PCT ( 1 suspected positive when RT ISPCR is positive) and ELISA ( 1 suspected positive when RT ISPCR is negative). CONCLUSION :RT ISPCR can be used to detection of human and animal infection of BDV and it can be used in the study of BDV infection mechanism.
