Total Chemical Synthesis,Assembly of Human Torque Teno Virus Genome

Torque teno virus(TTV) is a nonenveloped virus containing a single-stranded,circular DNA genome of approximately 3.8kb.We completely synthesized the 3 808 nucleotides of the TTV(SANBAN isolate) genome,which contains a hairpin structure and a GC-rich region.More than 100 overlapping oligonucleotides were chemically synthesized and assembled by polymerase chain assembly reaction(PCA),and the synthesis was completed with splicing by overlap extension(SOEing).This study establishes the methodological basis of t...     

兰州地区无偿献血人群血清TTV-DNA的检测

为了解兰州地区人群TTV的感染状况,作者采用套式PCR法,以TTV-DNA的ORFl中的一段309nt的序列为扩增序列,对36份兰州地区无偿献血人群血清DNA进行扩增,将扩增阳性片段测序并进行序列同源性比较,结果发现兰州地区无偿献血人群TTV感染率为52．7％。10份兰州序列之间的同源性为88．6％～95．4％,兰州序列与日本TA287株的同源性为88．1％～93．3％,表明兰州地区无偿献血人群TIN感染非常普遍,兰州地区TTV流行株存在变异,至少有基因亚型存在。     

Total chemical synthesis,assembly of human torque teno virus genome

Torque teno virus(TTV)is a nonenveloped virus containing a single-stranded,circular DNA genome of approximately 3.8kb.We completely synthesized the 3808 nucleotides of the TTV(SANBAN isolate)genome,which contains a hairpin structure and a GC-rich region.More than 100 overlapping oligonucleotides were chemically synthesized and assembled by polymerise chain assembly reaction(PCA),and the synthesis was completed with splicing by overlap extension(SOEing).This study establishes the methodological basis of the chemical synthesis of a viral genome for use as a live attenuated vaccine or gene therapy vector.     

TT病毒ORF2在Cos7细胞中的表达及蛋白质定位

应用PCR方法从含有1TrVirusORF2的质粒pET-His-TTV2中扩增出606bp的蛋白质编码区,并将其克隆到真核表达载体pEGFP．NI中以表达成GFP—VP2融合蛋白。构建出的重组质粒pEGFPTFV2经过酶切分析和PCR鉴定。用脂质体介导法将pEGFPTTV2质粒DNA转染Cos7细胞,通过RT-PCR分析,证实细胞中存在ORF2基因的转录产物。用共聚焦显微镜结合PI染色技术研究1TTV P2蛋白在细胞中的分布情况。结果表明,1TrVVP2分布在细胞质中和细胞核膜内侧。因此推测VP2作为一种非结构蛋白,功能可能是参与病毒DNA的复制或转录。     

邢台市健康献血员TT病毒感染状况初探

目的：探讨当地健康人群TT病毒(TTV)感染状况及其在人体内长期存在的意义。方法：选择邢台市志愿献血员(120名)进行TTV感染情况检测,利用N22 PCR和UTR PCR两种方法。结果：N22 PCR方法血清中TTV阳性率为30．00％,UTR PCR方法血清中TTV阳性率为100％。结论：说明邢台市区健康人群中存在有TTV感染,并与贵州(6．45％)、深圳(7．80％)等地区报告的TTV DNA阳性率不同。     

PCR—微孔板杂交法检测不同人群TTV DNA

根据报道的TTV全序列设计引物和探针,建立PCR－微孔板杂交法,检测81例正常人群、92例职业献血员123例甲－庚型肝炎、32例非甲－庚型肝炎、48型发性肝癌患者的TTV DNA。结果表明TTV在以上五种人群中的阳性率分别为3．7％、4．3％、21．1％、28．1％、52．0％,前者与后三者比较有显著性差异（P＜0．05）,TTV合并HBV二重感染重叠感染的54．0％,这揭示不同人群均存在TTV感染,正常人群和职业献血员存在健康携带状态,甲－庚型肝炎和非甲－庚肝炎病人为高危人群,TTV可与各型肝炎存在重叠感染,TTV除经血传播外,存在其它传播途径,TTV感染与ALT及TBIL的升高密切相关。     

TT virus in Hungary: sequence heterogeneity and mixed infections

The majority of the viral hepatitis cases is caused by five hepatitis viruses (A,B,C,D,E). In 1997, TT virus was discovered. It was supposed that a number of the unknown hepatitis cases was caused by the TT virus. The aim of this study was to characterize TT viruses carried by healthy individuals and patients suffering from hepatitis of unknown origin in Hungary. TTV DNA was detected by seminested PCR with the commonly used N22 primers. Twenty of the 108 sera (18.5%) taken from healthy persons and 115 of the 228 sera (50.4%) of patients with hepatitis of unknown origin were found to be positive. The nucleotide sequences of 26 clones derived from 17 hepatitis patients and 15 clones from nine healthy persons were determined and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. Genotype 2 (group 1) was found to be the most frequent, but other group 1 genotypes (1, 6) and genotypes 8 and 17 of group 2 were also detected. Mixed TTV infections were found in eight cases (two healthy persons and six hepatitis patients). Variants belonging to the same group were carried in seven cases, and the presence of group 1 (genotype 2) and group 2 (genotype 8) TTV sequences were found in one single hepatitis patient.     

TTV母婴传播研究进展

TTV是一种新发现的病毒，目前对其流行病学的了解尚不育分，其传播途径也未完全清楚，虽然对TTV经血液等途径传播的研究较多，但对母婴传播的研究相对较少，本文就近年有关TTV母婴传播的研究进展进行综述。     

15株中国TT病毒基因型鉴定和部分序列分析

TT病毒(TTV)为一种新鉴定的输血后肝炎相关的病毒.用聚合酶链式反应(PCR)扩增TTV DNA序列核苷酸1915到2185之间的片段,并将该片段克隆入pGEM-T Easy载体.重组克隆经酶切鉴定后,用全自动测序仪测序,发现本组病例中15株TTV毒株间的同源性在66.8%到99.3%之间,与TTV日本株比较同源性在66.1%到97.4%之间,分析结果显示在我国不仅有国外已报告的不同基因亚型毒株存在,而且,分离到的3株TTV毒株与日本株G1组和G2组的异源性分别达到13.3%-33.2%,可能为新的TTV基因亚型.
