Problems solved by technology

Importantly, this method is not commercially available as there is no commercially available BAC-cloned MDV-1 vaccine
[0008] The pp38 gene shows consistent single-nucleotide differences between the CVI988 vaccine strain and multiple virulent MDV-1 strains, yet it is difficult to design q-PCR primers capable of distinguishing such small differences

Embodiment 1

[0096] Example 1: Design of qPCR primers and probes

[0097] The MDV pp38 gene sequence showed two single nucleotide differences between the attenuated vaccines CVI988 and Md5 (a virulent strain) (Fig. 1). polymorphism (G / A) (Big bold underline) represents MDV-1 vaccine virus and all MDV-1 virulent viruses that we have sequences (RB1B MDV, 584A MDV, 595MDV, 684A MDV, Md5 MDV, HPRS-B14 MDV, JM102 MDV, 660AMDV, 675A MDV , 549MDV, 571MDV, C12-130MDV), which is the polymorphism contained in the specific probe. polymorphism (G / A) (underlined in black italics) is not consistently present in all virulent virus strains. Table 1 lists the primer sequences designed to cover the polymorphic region and two probes (pp38Vacc_G_JUP, specific to the attenuated vaccine CVI988; and pp38Vir_A_JUP(1), specific to the virulent virus). A third probe, pp38-total_JUP, was also designed, targeting the consensus region of pp38 of all MDV-1 strains. All three probes can be used in combination wit...

Embodiment 2

[0102] Example 2: Infection of Chicken Embryo Fibroblasts (CEF)

[0103] Chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) were infected with CVI988 vaccine strain or RB1B virulent strain of MDV-1. Five days after infection, serial dilutions were prepared from these cells for singleplex qPCR.

[0104] at 75cm2 CEF (chicken embryo fibroblast) cell monolayers were established in culture flasks and infected with approximately 1000 plaque forming units (pfu) of cell-associated virus. After 5 days of culture at 38°C, cells were harvested and DNA was prepared using phenol-chloroform extraction. The reaction volume is 25ul and contains: Absolute Blue qPCR mastermix (ABgene), each primer 400nM (ie Ovo primer + virus-specific primer), each probe 200nM (ie Ovo probe + virus-specific probe), about 100ng DNA samples. The reaction was carried out in an ABI7500 real-time PCR instrument, and the cycle parameters were as follows: 50°C for 2min, 95°C for 15min, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C (15sec) and 60°C...

Embodiment 3

[0105] Example 3: Specificity of qPCR: Single Reaction

[0106] Reactions were set up essentially as described previously (Baigent et al., 2005a), each reaction containing 'ABsolute q-PCR master mix' (ABgene, Epsom, UK), forward and reverse primers, and one of the probes . Use ABI The q-PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) amplified and detected the reaction product under the following conditions: 50°C for 2min, 95°C for 15min, followed by 95°C (15sec) and 60°C (1min) 40 loops. Table 2 shows the primer and probe combinations for each single qPCR.

[0107] Table 2

[0108]

[0109] The specificity of the probe was first evaluated using 10-fold serial dilutions of DNA prepared from chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) 5 days after infection with CVI988 or RB1B (a virulent strain of MDV-1).

[0110] figure 2 Fluorescence changes produced by (a) CVI988-specific probes and (b) virulent-specific probes are illustrated using nucleic acid templates from CVI988 ...

Abstract

A method for the quantification of a vaccine strain and / or a virulent strain of Wlarek's Disease Virus Serotype-1 (MDV-1) in a sample from a bird, comprising the steps of: (i) providing a biological sample from the bird and optionally isolating nucleic acid from the biological sample; (ii) subjecting the biological sample of (i) to real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) comprising: (a) amplification of a region of the pp3B gene within the nucleic acid sample of (i), said region containing a consistent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) difference between vaccine and virulent strains of MDV-1; and (b) contacting the amplified nucleic acid of (a) with a detectable nucleic acid probe specific for the SNP of the vaccine strain of MDV-1 and / or a detectable nucleic aa'd probe specific for the SNP of the virulent strain of MDV-1; and (iii) Measuring changes in the detectable signal produced by the probe of (ii).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to assay methods, particularly methods for analyzing the levels of vaccine strains and virulent strains of viruses, particularly Marek's disease virus serotype-1 (MDV-1), in samples from poultry. Background technique [0002] Marek's Disease Virus (MDV) is a herpes virus that causes lymphoproliferative disease in chickens. Even after vaccination against MDV, infection can still be costly to the poultry industry. MDV is divided into three serotypes, all of which cause latent infection. Serotype 1 includes oncogenic viruses, serotype-2 includes non-oncogenic viruses, and serotype-3 includes turkey herpesvirus (HVT) (Bülow et al (1976) Zentralblatt für Veterinarmedizin, 23B, 391-402). [0003] Handberg et al (2001) Avian Pathology 30:243-249 describe the use of serotype-1 and serotype-3 specific PCR for the detection of MDV in chickens. Tissue samples were taken from blood (parenchymal cells), spleen, liver, skin, feather ...
