180 results about "West Nile virus RNA" patented technology

West Nile virus (WNV) is a single-stranded RNA virus that causes West Nile fever. It is a member of the family Flaviviridae, specifically from the genus Flavivirus, which also contains the Zika virus, dengue virus, and yellow fever virus.

Diagnostic test for West Nile virus

The present invention provides a rapid and sensitive method for the detection of a West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) and Dengue virus (DENV) and antibodies directed against thereof involving contacting a biological specimen suspected of being infected with WNV, JE, SLE or DEN with a substantially purified and isolated WNV E glycoprotein or subfragment thereof having a native conformation wherein the E glycoprotein or subfragment thereof has a reactivity with antibodies against WNV and a cross-reactivity with antibodies against JEV, SLEV and DENV. The instant invention further provides a rapid, sensitive, and consistent method for the specific detection of WNV by employing diagnostic assays having the antigen NS5 which is specifically reactive with anti-WNV antibodies but not cross-reactive with antibodies against other flaviviruses such as JEV, SLEV, or DENV. The present invention also provides a rapid, sensitive, and consistent method for the specific detection of DENV by employing diagnostic assays having the antigen NS5 which is specifically reactive with anti-DENV antibodies but do not cross-react with antibodies against other flaviviruses such as JEV, SLEV, or WNV. Further, the DENV NS5 antigens are serospecific and do not cross react with antibodies to other DENV strains. Thus, the method of the present invention provides a manner by which to discriminate infections by each DENV strain. Further, diagnostic kits for carrying out the methods are provided. The methods and kits for carrying out the methods of the invention are rapid and require as little as 10 minutes to detect a result.

Recombinant vaccine against West Nile Virus

An immunogenic or vaccine composition to induce an immune response or protective immune response against West Nile virus (WNV) in an animal susceptible to WNV. The composition includes a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable vehicle or excipient, and a vector. The vector contains heterologous nucleic acid molecule(s), expresses in vivo in the animal WNV antigen, immunogen or epitope thereof, e.g., WNV E; WNV prM and E; WNV M and E; WNV prM, WNV M and E, WNV polyprotein prM-E, WNV polyprotein M-E, or WNV polyprotein prM-M-E. The composition can contain an adjuvant, such as carbomer. Methods for making and using such a composition, including prime-boost regimes and including as to differential diagnosis, are also contemplated.

Kit for rapid joint detection of epidemic JEV, DEV and WNV and detection method thereof

The invention relates to a kit for the rapid joint detection of epidemic JEV (Japanese Encephalitis Virus), DEV (Dengue Virus) and WNV (West Nile Virus). The kit consists of a main reaction solution and specific primers, wherein, the main reaction solution comprises a reaction buffer, AMV (Avian Myeloblastosis Virus) reverse transcriptase, a nuclease inhibitor, Bst (Bacillus stearothermophilus) DNA polymerase, dNTP (deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate), magnesium sulfate, betaine and DEPC (diethylpyrocarbonate) and conditioning water; and the specific primers comprise a specific amplification primer of JEV (PJEV), a specific amplification primer of DEV (PDV) and a specific amplification primer of WNV (PWNV). The invention is capable of rapidly detecting three viruses of flaviviridae by employing the LAMP (Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification) technology and designing high-degree specific primers, thereby achieving the purpose of highly-efficient specific amplification. The invention further provides a detection method in which an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer is utilized for detecting the absorbance value of the reaction system and for indirectly reflecting the DNA amplification of target genes. Therefore, the invention is applicable to rapid detection at primary and field levels and is of greater application value.

Methods for real-time multiplex isothermal detection and identification of bacterial, viral, and protozoan nucleic acids

Herein disclosed are rapid real-time isothermal multiplex methods of detecting, identifying and quantifying bacterial, viral, and protozoan nucleic acids in a sample. These include contacting the sample with two or more sets of pathogen-specific reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification primers and novel oligofluorophores specific for the target bacterial, viral, and parasitic nucleic acids of interest such as human immunodeficiency virus, Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Yellow fever virus, hepatitis-B virus, Lassa fever virus, Plasmodium, hepatitis-C virus, hepatitis-E virus, dengue virus, Chikungunya virus, Japanese Encephalitis virus, Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus, Mycobacterium, West Nile virus, Cytomegalovirus, Parvovirus, Leishmania, Trypanosoma, and Zika virus nucleic acids, under conditions sufficient to produce detectable real-time amplification signals in about 10 to 40 minutes. The amplification signals are produced by pathogen-specific fluorogenic labels included in one or more of the primers. Also, novel reaction and sample lysis buffers, primers, and kits for rapid multiplex detection, quantification, and identification of bacterial, viral, and protozoan nucleic acids by real-time isothermal amplification are herein disclosed.
