用反转录-聚合酶链反应检测猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒的研究

根据猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（ＰＲＲＳＶ）美洲型标准毒株（ＡＴＣＣＶＲ－２３３２）的ＯＲＦ６及部分ＯＲＦ７的序列,设计合成了一对引物２６３７４ＰＳ／２６３７５ＰＲ,用反转录聚合酶链反应（ＲＴＰＣＲ）技术对６株ＰＲＲＳＶ北京分离株进行了检测。结果该引物对６株病毒均能扩增出与预期大小相符的ＲＴＰＣＲ产物,并与ＡＴＣＣＶＲ２３３２株扩增产物的大小相当,而欧洲型标准毒株（ＬＶ株）未获扩增片段。进一步用限制性内切酶进行酶切分析,发现这６株病毒及ＡＴＣＣＶＲ－２３３２的ＰＣＲ产物皆出现相同的限制性酶切图谱,证实６株病毒均为ＰＲＲＳＶ。     

Implementation of a robotized real-time PCR setup for the use of the Quantifiler™ Human DNA Quantification Kit

Human DNA quantification occupies a central role within the DNA analytic process of forensic casework samples as DNA quantification results have an important impact on the quality of the short tandem repeat data. Manual processing for the setup of quantification reactions can be time consuming and labor intensive. Therefore automation of quantitative real-time PCR setup was an important component of our DNA-analysis automation concept. Here we show the implementation of a robotized setup for the Quantifiler™ Human DNA Quantification Kit.     

Interrogation of short tandem repeats using fluorescent probes and melting curve analysis: A step towards rapid DNA identity screening

Current forensic DNA profiling methods rely on the analysis of samples at specialised laboratories with an average turnaround time of several days. The ability to rapidly determine a partial profile of short tandem repeats at the point-of-arrest would be of great benefit to police forces around the world, for example enabling a suspect to be rapidly included or excluded from an investigation. We have developed a homogeneous PCR method for the interrogation of STR loci utilising fluorescent oligonucleotide probes and melting curve analysis. Alleles of the D18S51, TH01 and D8S1179 loci were differentiated and identified on the basis of target length and probe melting temperature. Assay performance was evaluated by comparing melting peak data with the AmpFlSTR^® SGM Plus^® system. The method is compatible with direct analysis of unpurified buccal swab samples, enabling a partial STR profile to be generated within 1 h.     

牛CD14结构基因的PCR扩增及序列分析

在用牛肺巨噬细胞构建了ｃＤＮＡ基因文库的基础上，参照人和小白鼠ＣＤ１４的基因序列设计一对引物，用ＰＣＲ方法成功地扩增出编码牛ＣＤ１４的特异性ＤＮＡ片段，并进行了序列分析。结果表明，牛ＣＤ１４基因的核苷酸在相同区域内与人ＣＤ１４的同源性为７９％，推导氨基酸序列的同源性为７３％；而与小白鼠的核苷酸和氨基酸的同源性分别为７５％和７１％。无论在核苷酸还是氨基酸水平上，牛ＣＤ１４基因与人ＣＤ１４的同源性都要高于与小白鼠的同源性。     

利用AP-PCR对柔嫩艾美球虫不同地理株及其杂交株多态性的研究

用随机引物PCR(AP PCR)技术对鸡柔嫩艾美球虫(Eimeria tenella)黑龙江株(H)、山东株(S)及黑龙江株与山东株的杂交株(F1)进行了研究,同时对 2 个不同地理株的子代株与亲代株和F1 株的亲缘关系进行了分析。结果,鸡柔嫩艾美球虫不同地理株之间以及同一地理株的亲代与子代之间存在DNA多态性;并且不同地理株间的种内变异程度较大(Si=0.642 3~0.637 0);同一地理株亲代与子代之间的亲缘关系也稍有改变,但其变异程度不大(Si=0.983 0~0.981 1)。对F1 株的AP PCR分析发现,F1 株与H株、S株的相似值分别为0.692 9、0.682 5,介于H株与S株相似值和传代株间的相似值之间。结果表明,F 株既具有两亲本株的遗传性状,又发生了变异。     

Y-SNPs analysis using two different approaches in a Northern Portugal male population sample

The non-recombining portion of the human Y (NRY) chromosome has various types of variation, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). In spite of their low discrimination power, they provide a powerful and simple exclusion tool for forensic purposes. A special advantage of SNPs is that it can potentially detect smaller DNA fragments (analysis of degraded DNA).The aim of this work consisted in the analysis of a group of SNP polymorphisms (M2, M9, M35, M89, M45, M170, M172, M173, M207 and P25) in a Northern Portugal male population sample, which allows the determination of the most common European haplogroups, including the Northern Portugal ones.The method used for typing these polymorphisms was the real-time PCR with TaqMan probes on the ABI 7000 platform (Applied Biosystems).We had some difficulties in typing some of the markers using this approach. However, the preliminary results obtained for the defined haplogroups are in accordance with those described in close European populations. To confirm the typing and solve the doubts that emerged from the real-time approach, the samples were also typed using SNapShot.     

Developmental Validation of the Quantifiler® Duo DNA Quantification Kit for Simultaneous Quantification of Total Human and Human Male DNA and Detection of PCR Inhibitors in Biological Samples*

Abstract: The Quantifiler^® Duo DNA Quantification kit enables simultaneous quantification of human DNA and human male DNA as well as detection of inhibitors of PCR in a single real-time PCR well. Pooled human male genomic DNA is used to generate standard curves for both human (ribonuclease P RNA component H1) and human male (sex determining region Y) specific targets. A shift in the cycle threshold (C_T) values for the internal positive control monitors the presence of PCR inhibitors in a sample. The assay is human specific and exhibits a high dynamic range from 0.023 to 50 ng/μL. In addition, the multiplex assay can detect as little as 25 pg/μL of human male DNA in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of human female DNA. The multiplex assay provides assessment of the DNA extract and guidance for the selection of the appropriate AmpFℓSTR^® Amplification Kit to obtain interpretable short tandem repeat profiles.     

Test of chlorine wipes for efficient removal of DNA from forensic genetics laboratories

Sodium hypochlorite is an efficient reagent for removal of unwanted DNA from laboratory surfaces. Here, we tested two different chlorine wipes and compared their performance to a 0.9–1.8% hypochlorite solution. WipeClean Chlorine Disinfection wipes contain > 0.1 g sodium hypochlorite/kg, whereas WetWipe Chlorine Desinfection wipes contain > 1000 ppm active chlorine. Clean surfaces were contaminated with 10 µL 0.5 ng/µL of massively parallel sequencing libraries. The DNA was dried and left for 45 min before any treatment. The surfaces were cleaned using either 1) a 0.9–1.8% hypochlorite solution and clean wipes, 2) a WipeClean wipe, 3) a WetWipe, or 4) the surface was not cleaned. All experiments were repeated three times. Subsequently, the surfaces were swabbed using cotton swabs. DNA was extracted from the swabs and the DNA concentrations were determined in quadruplicates by real-time PCR. This protocol was repeated after the soft plastic wrapping around the wipes were left open or closed for several weeks. The results showed that the WipeClean wipes efficiently removed DNA for up to four weeks after the box with the wipes were opened, whereas the WetWipe wipes dried faster and gradually lost their cleaning effect.
