Universal primers have been identified and a protocol developed that are suitable for rapid detection of California encephalitis (CE) complex viruses in a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. These primers correspond to sequences in the coding regions of the G2 glycoprotein of the middle-size RNA segment. The identities of the amplified products were confirmed by sequencing on the clones or PCR products. The technique is capable of detecting 40 plaque-forming units (PFU) directly on an ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel and the sensitivity increases to 0.4-1 PFU when a radiolabeled probe is used as the detector.

D002141 Encephalitis Virus, California A species in the ORTHOBUNYAVIRUS genus of the family BUNYAVIRIDAE. Serotypes are found in temperate and arctic regions and each is closely associated with a single species of vector mosquito. The vertebrate hosts are usually small mammals but several serotypes infect humans.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
