A Simple Method for Molecular Detection of Swine-Origin and Human-Origin Influenza A Virus

Here we present a real-time one-step reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction SYBR Green assay derived from the method reported by van Elden and collaborators ( 2001 ) that ensures the rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection of both seasonal influenza A virus and emerging (H1N1) swine-...

Zusammenfassung:Here we present a real-time one-step reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction SYBR Green assay derived from the method reported by van Elden and collaborators ( 2001 ) that ensures the rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection of both seasonal influenza A virus and emerging (H1N1) swine-origin influenza A virus (S-OIV). In addition to this screening test, which successfully detected both seasonal influenza A virus and S-OIV in human clinical samples, we showed that the probe initially designed by van Elden and collaborators could detect seasonal influenza A virus, but not S-OIV; a new probe was designed and tested that specifically detects S-OIV, but not seasonal influenza A. Both probe-based assays were validated by testing human clinical samples and specifically detected either seasonal influenza virus or S-OIV. Finally, in silico analysis of databases predicted that minor modifications of the van Elden primers would facilitate the use of this assay for the broad spectrum detection of all currently characterized variants of influenza A virus, including avian strains.
