Sapovirus (SaV) is an agent of gastroenteritis for humans and swine, and is divided into five distinct genogroups (GI-GV) based on its capsid gene sequences. Typical methods of SaV detection include electron microscopy (EM), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A novel TaqMan-based real-time RT-PCR assay was developed that is sensitive and has the ability to detect the broad range of genetically diverse human SaV strains. A nucleotide alignment of 10 full-length SaV genome sequences was subjected to similarity plot analysis, which indicated that the most conserved site was the polymerase-capsid junction in open reading frame 1 (ORF1). Based on multiple alignments of the 27 available sequences encoding this junction, we designed sets of primers and TaqMan MGB probes that detect human SaV GI, GII, GIV, and GV sequences in a single tube. The reactivity was confirmed with SaV GI, GII, GIV, and GV control plasmids, and the efficiency ranged from 2.5 x 10(7) to 2.5 x 10(1) copies per tube. Analysis using clinical stool specimens revealed that the present system was capable of detecting SaV GI, GII, GIV, and GV sequences, and no cross-reactivity was observed against other enteric viruses, including norovirus (NoV), rotavirus, astrovirus, and adenovirus. This is the first real-time RT-PCR system that could detect all genogroups of human sapoviruses.

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
D015345 Oligonucleotide Probes Synthetic or natural oligonucleotides used in hybridization studies in order to identify and study specific nucleic acid fragments, e.g., DNA segments near or within a specific gene locus or gene. The probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin.

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
