We adapted the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the noncultivatable group B and C rotaviruses and introduced a simple and convenient technique to purify viral RNA from stool specimens. Double-stranded RNA present in stool extracts was purified by adsorption to hydroxyapatite and was used as the template for reverse transcription and polymerase amplification. Primer pairs specific for group B (gene 8) and group C (gene 6) rotaviruses were selected to amplify group-characteristic sizes of cDNA copies readily identifiable in ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels. These primer pairs were used separately in individual PCR assays or were pooled with a primer pair specific for group A rotavirus (gene 9) in a combined PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of all three rotavirus groups. The method was very sensitive and was used to identify both human and porcine strains of group B and C rotaviruses in stool specimens. A second PCR amplification with internal group-specific primers served to increase further the sensitivity of the test and to confirm the diagnostic results obtained in the first amplification.

D012401 Rotavirus A genus of REOVIRIDAE, causing acute gastroenteritis in BIRDS and MAMMALS, including humans. Transmission is horizontal and by environmental contamination. Seven species (Rotaviruses A thru G) are recognized. Neonatal Calf Diarrhea Virus,Rotaviruses
D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
