Development and preliminary application of PCR-DHPLC assays for detection of the Torque Teno virus / 中国人兽共患病学报

In order to identify the Torque Teno virus (TT virus),a PCR-DHPLC assay was performed in this study.Primers specific were selected according to the characteristics of TT virus nucleic acid sequence to conduct PCR,and PCR products assayed by DHPLC.We analyzed the sensitivity,specificity,repeatability of PCR-DHPLC and applied it preliminarily on clinical detection.The specific testing was performed with TTV,HBV,HCV and HEV,no cross reaction were found,and the PCR-DHPLC assays we developed had good specification and nice repeatability.Sensitivity analysis showed that the developed PCR-DHPLC assays could detect 1.0× 101 copy/μL.Then we detected 32 serum samples by this method,real-time PCR and normal PCR at same time.The results showed that 17 TTV positives results could be observed by PCR-DHPLC for 32 samples,it is consistent with real-time PCR test results and 15 positive by normal RT-PCR.PCR-DHPLC assays showed nice specification,sensitivity,repeatability,and could be used in epidemiological investigation.

Introduction of fluorescence molecular imaging technology and its development / 中国医疗器械杂志

In vivo fluorescence molecular imaging plays a more and more important role in the observation of diseases, drug research and biology research because of its low cost, simplicity and no ionizing radiation to biological tissue. Herein, the most important parts of the optical fluorescence molecular imaging and their advances are summarized, including fluorescent molecular probes, imaging systems and reconstruction algorithms. The application and development trend of this technology are also introduced in this paper.

Expression,purification and identification of hepatitis E virus pb166-GST fusion protein / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To express,purify and identify recombinant hepatitis E virus(HEV) pb166-GST fusion protein using GST gene fusion system and investigate its potential role in researching Hepatitis E diagnostic antigen field.Methods The recombinant E.coli BL21 performed by our own laboratory was used to induce the HEV pb166-GST expression with IPTG.The products were purified by BD Biosience GST purifying system.The specific expression was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.The experiment conditions and results were described and analysed.Results The resolved HEV pb166-GST fusion protein on SDS-PAGE showed a major band at position of 43 kD.The expressed proteins had a single expected band after purify and the protein was recognized by anti-GST antibody on PVDF membrane.Conclusion The recombinant HEV pb166-GST fusion protein is expressed in recombinant E.coli BL21 efficiently in this way,and might be used as a candidate for diagnostic antigen of HEV.
