Detection of dengue virus RNA using nucleic acid hybridization. 1987

E A Henchal, and S Narupiti, and R Feighny, and R Padmanabhan, and V Vakharia

Conditions for using slot-blot nucleic acid hybridization to quantitatively detect dengue-2 virus using a radiolabelled cDNA probe, pVV17, were determined. As little as 11 plaque-forming units of virus were detected using a hybridization mixture without formamide and performing the test at 70 degrees C. While predominantly serotype-specific using stringent (65 degrees C) washing conditions, the probe detected all four dengue virus serotypes using astringent (28 degrees C) washing conditions. No significant qualitative differences were detected using Thai dengue-2 viruses isolated over a 10-year period. High titered, anti-flavivirus antibodies blocked virus detection by an antigen capture, enzyme-linked, immunosorbent assay or by intrathoracic inoculation of Toxorhyncites mosquitoes, but not by nucleic acid hybridization. The appearance of virus-specified RNA coincided with the detection of antigen in infected C6/36 (Aedes albopictus) cells by immunofluorescence, or in cell culture supernatants by the antigen capture method. The method has potential as a diagnostic tool for identifying dengue viruses in clinical and field specimens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009033 Culicidae A family of the order DIPTERA that comprises the mosquitoes. The larval stages are aquatic, and the adults can be recognized by the characteristic WINGS, ANIMAL venation, the scales along the wing veins, and the long proboscis. Many species are of particular medical importance. Mosquitoes,Mosquitos,Mosquito
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D003716 Dengue Virus A species of the genus FLAVIVIRUS which causes an acute febrile and sometimes hemorrhagic disease in man. Dengue is mosquito-borne and four serotypes are known.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
