A real-time PCR for SARS-coronavirus incorporating target gene pre-amplification

An enhanced polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect the coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) was developed in which a target gene pre-amplification step preceded TaqMan real-time fluorescent PCR. Clinical samples were collected from 120 patients diagnosed as suspected or probable SARS cases and analyzed by conventional PCR followed by agarose gel electrophoresis, conventional TaqMan real-time PCR, and our enhanced TaqMan real-time PCR assays. An amplicon of the size expected from SARS-CoV was obtained from 28/120 samples using the enhanced real-time PCR method. Conventional PCR and real-time PCR alone identified fewer SARS-CoV positive cases. Results were confirmed by viral culture in 3/28 cases. The limit of detection of the enhanced real-time PCR method was 10(2)-fold higher than the standard real-time PCR assay and 10(7)-fold higher than conventional PCR methods. The increased sensitivity of the assay may help control the spread of the disease during future SARS outbreaks.     

TaqMan real-time PCR versus four conventional PCR assays for detection of apple proliferation phytoplasma

A recently developed TaqMan real-time PCR assay for detection of apple proliferation phytoplasma was evaluated in comparison to four conventional PCR-based methods with the aim to assess its potential for research and routine applications. All five protocols were tested in parallel on the same DNA isolates obtained from orchard trees. The performance of the methods was evaluated by means of sensitivity, specificity, susceptibility to inhibition, handling effort, testing time, assay expenses, and potential risk for operator and environment. Compared to the conventional PCR methods, the TaqMan real-time PCR procedure combined the highest test sensitivity with the highest test specificity and was, above all, not susceptible to PCR inhibition. Furthermore, TaqMan real-time PCR had the simplest and fastest testing process, involving a minimum of handling steps. Its disadvantage is the high cost of consumables and reagents, exceeding that of a standard PCR procedure up to four-fold. However, the higher material costs could be compensated by considerably lower personnel costs and by saving expenses for hazardous waste disposal. Due to the simple testing procedure and the output of results as numeric data the TaqMan real-time PCR assay has a high potential for automation, and seems to represent the currently most suitable method for large-scale testing procedures.

Evaluation of methods for improved detection of Cryptosporidium spp. in mussels (Mytilus californianus)

Bivalve molluscs concentrate Cryptosporidium oocysts from fecal-contaminated aquatic environments and are therefore useful in monitoring water quality. A real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system was developed to allow for large scale quantitative detection of Cryptosporidium spp. in mussels (Mytilus californianus). The TaqMan sensitivity and specificity were compared to conventional PCR and direct immunofluorescent antibody (DFA) assays, with and without immunomagnetic separation (IMS), to identify the best method for parasite detection in mussel hemolymph, gill washings and digestive glands. TaqMan PCR and two conventional PCR systems all detected 1 or more oocysts spiked into 1 ml hemolymph samples. The minimum oocyst detection limit in spiked 5 ml gill wash and 1 g digestive gland samples tested by TaqMan PCR and DFA was 100 oocysts, with a 1 log(10) improvement when samples were first processed by IMS. For tank exposed mussels, TaqMan and conventional PCR methods detected C. parvum in <5% of hemolymph samples. No gill washings from these same mussels tested positive by TaqMan PCR or DFA analysis even with IMS concentration. All methods detected the highest prevalence of C. parvum-positive samples in digestive gland tissues of exposed mussels. In conclusion, the most sensitive method for the detection of C. parvum in oocyst-exposed mussels was IMS concentration with DFA detection: 80% of individual and 100% of pooled digestive gland samples tested positive. TaqMan PCR was comparable to conventional PCR for detection of C. parvum oocysts in mussels and additionally allowed for automated testing, high throughput, and semi-quantitative results.

A new TaqMan method for the identification of phytoplasmas associated with grapevine yellows by real-time PCR assay

Three real-time PCR systems for direct detection of phytoplasmas associated to Flavescence dorée (FD), Bois noir (BN) and aster yellows (AY) diseases were developed. TaqMan probes and primers were designed on the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences of phytoplasma genome. A further TaqMan assay, targeting a grapevine gene encoding for the chloroplast chaperonin 21, was developed in order to check the DNA quality and to verify the absence of PCR inhibition. A comparison between real-time PCR and conventional nested-PCR methods for phytoplasma detection was carried out on several reference samples from grapevine, periwinkle, other host plants and insect species. Detection of FD, BN and AY phytoplasma DNA on infected specimens was rapid, specific and reproducible. Sensitivity was as high as nested-PCR assay. The two procedures were then used on about 450 samples collected from grapevines showing yellows symptoms. The results showed that real-time PCR approach for phytodiagnostic purposes was more advantageous than nested-PCR method with regard to rapidity of the assay and reduced risk of sample cross contamination. These new protocols represent an improvement of existing analytical methods and could be used as a reliable diagnostic procedure in certification and control programs.     

A five-minute DNA extraction method for expedited detection of Phytophthora ramorum following prescreening using Phytophthora spp. lateral flow devices

In a direct comparison with established methods for Phytophthora ramorum detection (isolation followed by morphological identification, or conventional DNA extraction followed by TaqMan real-time PCR) a rapid, simplified detection method in which membranes of lateral flow devices (LFDs) are added directly to TaqMan real-time PCR reactions was used to test 202 plant samples collected by plant health inspectors in the field. P. ramorum prevalence within the 202 samples was approximately 40% according to routine testing by isolation or TaqMan real-time PCR. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the rapid detection method were 96.3% and 91.2%, respectively. This method can be used in conjunction with Phytophthora spp. lateral flow devices to reduce the number of samples requiring testing using more laborious conventional methods. The effect of combining prescreening for Phytophthora spp. with P. ramorum-specific tests is discussed in terms of the positive and negative predictive values of species-specific detection when testing samples collected in different inspection scenarios.     

Determination of allele frequency in pooled DNA: comparison of three PCR-based methods

Determination of allele frequency in pooled DNA samples is a powerful and efficient tool for large-scale association studies. In this study, we tested and compared three PCR-based methods for accuracy, reproducibility, cost, and convenience. The methods compared were: (i) real-time PCR with allele-specific primers, (ii) real-time PCR with allele-specific TaqMan probes, and (iii) quantitative sequencing. Allele frequencies of three single nucleotide polymorphisms in three different genes were estimated from pooled DNA. The pools were made of genomic DNA samples from 96 cases with basal cell carcinoma of the skin and 96 healthy controls with known genotypes. In this study, the allele frequency estimation made by real-time PCR with allele-specific primers had the smallest median deviation (MD) from the real allele frequency with 1.12% (absolute percentage points) and was also the cheapest method. However; this method required the most time for optimization and showed the highest variation between replicates (SD = 6.47%). Quantitative sequencing, the simplest method, was found to have intermediate accuracies (MD = 1.44%, SD = 4.2%). Real-time PCR with TaqMan probes, a convenient but very expensive method, had an MD of 1.47% and the lowest variation between replicates (SD = 3.18%).
