ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a real-time RT-PCR based plasma virus quantification method and monitor the plasma viral load of SHIV-CN97001 during its in vivo passages in rhesus macaques.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Viral RNA standards were prepared by in vitro transcription and one-tube real-time RT-PCR were established and optimized using TaqMan EZ RT-PCR CORE REAGENTS and TaqMan probes and primers directed to the 91 bases within the conserved gag region of SHIV. Plasma viral RNA of 126 plasma samples from rhesus macaques of different viral passages was quantified.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The PCR system was optimized by using serial dilution of standards, and the viral RNA load was detected. The lowest limit of the standard curve reached 2x10(-2) copies/ml. The correlation (r>0.99) and the repetition (CV=4.14 percent) also met the requirement. It was revealed that the viral RNA load of third passage was the highest. Generally, the viral load peaks (10(5)-10(6) copies/ml) appeared at the fourteenth day after the infection or inoculation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method of one-tube real-time RT-PCR was established successfully, which may provide a sensitive way to qualify SHIV viral load. This will contribute to the establishment and application of SHIV/rhesus macaque models. It was also found that the replicative ability of SHIV-CN97001 was enhanced during the first 2 in vivo passages.</p>
