Abstract

We describe a multiplex PCR method that can detect and differentiate simultaneously four different kinds of DNA viruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and parvovirus B19 (B19). Primers for the multiplex PCR reaction were designed to amplify specific regions of the EBV (pol), CMV (pol), HBV (pol) and B19 (ns) viral genomes and used to simultaneously detect individual viruses. In order to achieve optimal sensitivity and specificity for multiplex PCR, the thermo-cycling parameters, primer sequences, and concentration of each reaction components were optimized systematically. The sensitivity of the detection method ranged between 5 and 10 copies of viral genome with a mixture of multiple primer pairs. Furthermore, this highly sensitive test showed no cross-reactivity among the four viruses. Thus, the results obtained in this study provide evidence that the assay system is a good tool for supporting the diagnosis of viral infection and contamination.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), parvovirus B19 (B19)등 4종의 바이러스는 인체에 감염을 일으키는 병원체로서 DNA를 유전물질로 함유한다. 각 바이러스 유전자의 염기서열을 분석하여 EBV CMV, HBV의 pol 유전자와 B19의 ns 유전자에 특이적으로 결합할 수 있는 primer를 설계 제작하고 단일 시험으로 4종의 바이러스를 동시에 검출할 수 있는 다중 중합효소 연쇄반응(Multiplex PCR)법을 확립하였다. Primer 염기서열, PCR 반응조성물의 농도, PCR 반응시간 및 온도조건을 최적화하여 민감도를 증대시킴으로써, 단일 시험으로 5-10 분자수의 유전물질까지 검출이 가능하였다. 또한 4종의 바이러스 사이에 교차반응이 일어나지 않았으며 생체시료를 이용한 시험에서도 특이성과 민감도가 유지됨을 확인하였다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 확립한 다중 중합효소 연쇄반응은 세포배양액 또는 생체 시료에 감염된 4종 DNA 바이러스진단에 효율적으로 이용할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.
