Detection Methods for LChV



Molecular Methods

RT-PCR assay developed by W. Jelkmann



RT reaction
  1. Mix the following components in a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube:
    • 5 µl purified nucleic acid extract
    • 1 µl primer mix 100 pmol/µl hexamer and 0.5 µg/µl oligo-dT17- primer
    • 6 µl RNase-free water
  2. Incubate at 70° C for 5 min. to denature the RNA
  3. Place on ice and add the following components:
    • 4 µl 5 x MMLV RT buffer
    • 2 µl 100 mM DTT
    • 1 µl 10 mM dNTP mix
    • 1 µl MMLV-RT (200 units)
  4. Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes
  5. Incubate at 37° C for 60 minutes
  6. Incubate at 70° C for 15 minutes
  7. Store on ice or at -20° C until required for use in PCR
