A highly sensitive immuno-PCR assay for detection of H5N1 avian influenza virus.

Abstract：

:With an aim at detecting the ultra-low concentration of avian influenza virus (AIV), a highly sensitive hybrid assay based on immunology and polymerase chain reaction was developed. The TopYield microtiter plates were coated with ten-fold serial dilutions of H5N1 subtype AIV ranging from 10 EID(50 )ml(-1)~10(-4) EID(50) ml(-1),which was recognized by mouse anti-AIV H5 monoclonal antibody (MAb) that was directly linked with reporter DNA using a heterobifunctional cross-linker. After extensive washing, the reporter DNA including a BamH I-restriction site was released by a specific enzymatic restriction, then transferred to PCR tubes, amplified, and used as the signal for detection of AIV. Under the optimized condition, MAb-based immuno-PCR (IPCR) method could measure 100 µl of AIV H5N1 with 10(-4 )EID(50) ml(-1).To evaluate the sensitivity of IPCR, the same concentration and volume of AIV H5N1 were detected by conventional RT-PCR and sandwich ELISA. The results showed that IPCR had an approximately 1,000-fold improvement over the conventional ELISA, and a 100-fold enhancement compared with RT-PCR in detection sensitivity. To further evaluate the specificity of IPCR for AIV H5 subtype, the tracheal swab specimens, taken from chickens which were infected with H9N2, and the allantoic fluid from eggs inoculated by AIV H3N2, H7N1, H9N2, were detected by IPCR. To mimic clinical samples, pharyngeal-tracheal swab specimens were collected from healthy chickens and spiked with H5N1, H5N2, H5N3 for analysis by immuno-PCR. The results demonstrated that IPCR was a highly sensitive and specific assay for AIV H5, and could be applied to clinical detection for low amount of AIV H5 subtype. This MAb-based immuno-PCR method provided a platform capable of mass screening of clinical samples for AIV H5 subtype and could serve as a model for other immuno-PCR assays.
