摘要
对70例血清谷丙转氨酶(ALT)异常、疑是丙型肝炎(HCV)患者血清标本,用HCV基因5'非编码区引物作套式聚合酶链反应(套式PCR),扩增产物为260bp,结果显示52例丙型肝炎病毒核酸(HCV-RNA)阳性,18例阴性,阳性率为74.2%。10例助血员血样HCV-RNA均为阴性。经Southernblot分析,阳性PCR产物为HCV-RNA所特异。作者认为,采用高保守区核苷酸序列引物作套式PCR检测HCV-RNA,可提高实验的敏感性和特异性。
We detected HCV-RNA with nested polymerase clain reaction using 2 pairs of primers deducde from 5’-noncoding region of HCV genome. The size of the amplifled fragments is 260 base pairs.Results showed that 52(74.2%) of 70 paitents suspected HCV infection with abnormal ALT were positive for HCV-RNA by the nested PCR, Overwheiling majority of patients(50 out of 52) positive for HCG-RNA were also positive for antibody to HCV by commercial assay kits.Serum samples from 10 donors were negative by both assays.Analyzed by Southernblot assay,the 260bp PCR products showed signs of hybridization.This suggested that HCV viremia can be more accurately diagnuosed by detecting the HCV-RNA with nested PCR using primers derived from highly conserved region,and both the sensitivity and specificity will be improved.
