Development of a novel fluorescent microbead-based immunoassay and comparison with three enzyme-linked immunoassays for detection of anti-Erysipelothrix spp. IgG antibodies in pigs with known and unknown exposure.

Murine hepatitis virus (MHV) infection is one of the most prevalent types of mice infection in laboratory. MHV could cause death in mice and even interfere with the results in animal experiments. Herein, we developed two isothermal approaches based on the Multienzyme Isothermal Rapid Amplification (MIRA), for rapid detection of MHV in conserved M gene. We designed and screened several pairs of primers and probes and the isothermal fluorescence detector was applied for the exonuclease Ⅲ reverse transcription MIRA (exo-RT-MIRA) assay. To further simplify the workflow, the portable fluorescence visualization instrument, also as a palm-sized handheld system, was used for the naked-eye exo-RT-MIRA assay. The amplification temperature and time were optimized. The assay could be processed well at 42 °C 20 min for the exo-RT-MIRA and the naked-eye exo-RT-MIRA assay. The limit of detection (LoD) of the exo-RT-MIRA assay was 43.4 copies/μL. The LoD of the naked-eye exo-RT-MIRA assay was 68.2 copies/μL. No nonspecific amplifications were observed in the two assays. A total of 107 specimens were examined by qPCR and two assays developed. The experimental results statistical analysis demonstrated that the exo-RT-MIRA assay with the qPCR yielded sufficient agreement with a kappa value of 1.000 (p < 0.0001). The results also exhibited a good agreement (kappa value, 0.961) (p < 0.0001) between the naked-eye exo-RT-MIRA assay and the qPCR assay. In our study, the exo-RT-MIRA assay and the naked-eye exo-RT-MIRA assay presented the possibility of new methods in MHV point-of-testing diagnosis. 

Development of two novel on-site detection visualization methods for murine hepatitis virus based on the multienzyme isothermal rapid amplification

Rapid and simple serologic tests that require only a small amount of blood without the euthanization of animals are valuable for microbial control in colonies of laboratory animals. In this study, we developed a multiplex immunochromatographic assay (ICA) for detection of antibodies to Sendai virus (also known as hemagglutinating virus of Japan), hantavirus, and sialodacryoadenitis virus, which are causative agents of major infectious diseases in rats. For this assay, an ICA strip was placed into a microtube containing 150 µl PBS and either 0.75 µl of rat serum or 1.5 µl of whole blood. Binding antibodies were visualized by using anti-rat IgG antibody-conjugated colloidal gold. Under these conditions, the multiplex ICA simultaneously and specifically detected antibodies to multiple antigens. Positive serum samples for each infectious disease were used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the multiplex ICA. The sensitivities of the multiplex ICA for Sendai virus, hantavirus, and sialodacryoadenitis virus were 100%, 100%, and 81%, respectively. No nonspecific reactions were observed in any of the 52 positive sera against heterologous antigens. In addition, 10 samples of uninfected sera did not show any bands except for the control line. These observations indicate high specificity of the multiplex ICA. Moreover, the multiplex ICA could be applied to diluted blood. These results indicate that the multiplex ICA is appropriate for rapid and simple serological testing of laboratory rats.
