摘要
Consumption of virus-contaminated shellfish has caused numerous outbreaks of gastroenteritis and hepatitis worldwide. In the present study, we evaluated a rapid and simple extraction method to concentrate and purify enteric viruses from shellfish tissues for their detection by real-time RT-PCR. This procedure consists of an alkaline elution with a glycine buffer, solids removal by slow speed centrifugation, purification by chloroform extraction and virus concentration by ultracentrifugation. The efficiency of this method to recover Hepatitis A virus (HAV) from oysters seeded with this virus, was assessed by real-time RT-PCR and conventional RT-nested PCR after extracting viral RNA by a commercial isolation kit. Real-time RT-PCR yielded higher detection sensitivity than the obtained by conventional RT-nested PCR. Besides the improvements in detection sensitivity, the real-time RT-PCR, by quantifying HAV RNA, allowed to check the overall extraction procedure and the recovery efficiency after each processing step. After the last phase, i.e. virus concentration by ultracentrifugation, the RNA purity was high but the estimated HAV recovery efficiency was however low, probably due to virus losses and the presence of RT-PCR inhibitors in sample concentrates. In contrast, the HAV recovery percentage was higher after the virus elution step while the RNA purity was lower. Real-time RT-PCR detection could allow to eliminate some purification and concentration steps that are required for conventional RT-nested PCR detection. The overall procedure for detecting HAV could be then simplify avoiding virus losses during manipulation. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
