Establishment of a Real-time RPA Method for Rapid Detection ofLymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
In this paper,specificprimers and fluorescent probes were designed according to the conservativesequence of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus(LCMV),and a real-time recombinase polymerase amplification assay(real-time RPA)was established. Resultsshowed that the specificity of the assay was good,andno any cross reaction with other murine viruses detected by LCMV was shown. Thesensitivity of established assay was as high as the RT-PCR method. Otherwise,based on detection of LCMV infected murine tissues and negativeserums,the real-time RPA showed good stability andreliability. Compared with current detection methods of nucleic acids,the test results could be interpreted within 20 minutes after loadingthe nucleic buffer using the real-time RPA,which couldsatisfy the need of rapid LCMV inspection in rodent animals.
