    Abstract:
    重篤な非溶血性輸血後副作用であるアナフィラキシーショックのリスク因子であるハプトグロビン欠損症の原因遺伝子はハプトグロビン遺伝子欠失(HPdel)であり,その頻度は約4,000人に1人であると予想される.我々は最近安全な輸血医療の遂行を目的とし迅速・簡便なリアルタイムPCR法に基づく2種のHPdel診断法を開発し報告した.今回,臨床現場への導入を目的として久留米大学病院で輸血予定患者の血液を鋳型とし,TaqMan probeを用いる方法とSYBR green Iを用い融解曲線をおこなう方法の2法を実施し結果を比較した.約1時間半で得られた結果は全サンプルで一致し,2009年1月から2010年3月末に解析した2,954名のうち91名がHP/HPdel,1名がHPdel/HPdelであった.TaqMan法は増幅シグナルそのものが結果を反映することから反応中に診断結果を予想でき,HPdel/HPdelがソフトウエアで自動検出できるため多検体処理能力に優れた方法であり,SYBR法は初期費用が低く抑えられ,より幅広い臨床現場での導入が容易であると考えられた.

    Specific traditional plate count method and real-time PCR systems based on SYBR Green I and TaqMan technologies using a specific primer pair and probe for amplification of iap-gene were used for quantitative assay of Listeria monocytogenes in seven decimal serial dilution series of nutrient broth and milk samples containing 1.58 to 1.58×10 7 cfu /ml and the real-time PCR methods were compared with the plate count method with respect to accuracy and sensitivity.In this study, the plate count method was performed using surface-plating of 0.1 ml of each sample on Palcam Agar.The lowest detectable level for this method was 1.58×10 cfu/ml for both nutrient broth and milk samples.Using purified DNA as a template for generation of standard curves, as few as four copies of the iap-gene could be detected per reaction with both real-time PCR assays, indicating that they were highly sensitive.When these real-time PCR assays were applied to quantification of L. monocytogenes in decimal serial dilution series of nutrient broth and milk samples, 3.16×10 to 3.16×10 5 copies per reaction (equals to 1.58×10 3 to 1.58×10 7 cfu/ml L. monocytogenes) were detectable.As logarithmic cycles, for Plate Count and both molecular assays, the quantitative results of the detectable steps were similar to the inoculation levels.

    Real‐time quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) is the method of choice for rapid and reproducible measurements of cytokine or growth factor expression in small samples. Fluorescence detection methods for monitoring real‐time PCR include fluorogenic probes labelled with reporter and quencher dyes, such as Taqman probes or Molecular Beacons and the dsDNA‐binding dye SYBR Green I. Fluorogenic (Taqman) probes for a range of human and rat cytokines and growth factors were tested for sensitivity and compared with an assay for SYBR Green I quantification using real‐time fluorescence monitoring (PE Applied Biosystems Model 7700 sequence detector). SYBR Green I detection involved analysis of the melting temperature of the PCR product and measurement of fluorescence at the optimum temperature. Fluorogenic probes provided sensitive and reproducible detection of targets that ranged from low (<10 copies/reaction) to high (>10 7 copies/ reaction) expression. SYBR Green I gave reproducible quantification when the target gene was expressed at moderate to high levels (≥1000 copies/reaction), but did not give consistently reproducible quantification when the target gene was expressed at low levels. Although optimization of melting temperature improved the specificity of SYBR Green I detection, in our hands it did not equal the reproducible sensitivity and specificity of fluorogenic probes. The latter method is the first choice for measurement of low‐level gene expression, although SYBR Green I is a simple and reproducible means to quantify genes that are expressed at moderate to high levels.

    Objective To establish a real-time quantitative RT-PCR method for detection of HLA-DRα mRNA expression.Methods The vector containing HLA-DRα gene as standard template was constructed by T-A cloning technique.A real-time RT-PCR was established by used the fluorogenic probe(Taqman probe).HLA-DRα mRNA expression level in monocytes induced by achyrathes bidentata polysacchari-(des(ABPS)) was detected with real-time quantitative RT-PCR and semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results The expression of HLA-DRα mRNA in monocytes induced by ABPS was increased significantly,but no significant change of HLA-DRα mRNA expression was fund in control group;The semi-quantitative RTPCR results also demonstrated the variety of HLA-DRα level as what the real-time fluorogenic quantitative RT-PCR detected,but less sensitive and accurate.Conclusion The fluorogenic real-time quantitative RT-PCR is more accurate and sensitive than semi-quantitive RT-PCR in Detection of HLA-DRα mRNA expression.

    Objective To compare the sensitivity, specificity and time-spending of TaqMan real-time RT-PCR and conventional RT-PCR for detecting dengue virus. Methods The real-time RT-PCR and the conventional RT-PCR assays were used to quantitatively detect dengue virus, Japanese encephalitis virus and West Nile virus and the sensitivity, specificity and time-spending were evaluated between the two methods above. Results Both Japanese encephalitis virus and West Nile were not detected by those two methods, however, dengue virus could be detected by both two methods. The sensitivity of the conventional RT-PCR was 0.1 TCID50/mL, while TaqMan real-time quantitative RT-PCR was 0.001TCID50/mL, which was 100 times sensitive than conventional RT-PCR. Meanwhile, the real-time RT-PCR was more time-saving than conventional RT-PCR. Conclusion TaqMan quantitative real-time RT-PCR assay is more sensitive and time-saving than conventional RT-PCR for the rapid diagnosis of dengue virus.

    Objective To explore the improvement of detecting HBV-DNA by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR)using both SYBR green I and TaqMan probe in the reaction.Method 3 HBV-DNA positive serum samples(108.48,105.70 and 103.70 copies/ml)and 1 HBV-DNA negative serum sample were used to detect HBV-DNA by the double fluorescent quantitative PCR(TaqMan+SYBR Green I group),SYBR Green I PCR(SYBR Green I group)and TaqMan probe PCR(TaqMan goup).The detection of the HBV-DNA of each sample was performed for 5 times.Result The HBV-DNA concentrations of the 3 HBV-DNA positive serum samples detected by TaqMan+SYBR Green I PCR were 108.55±0.32,105.79±0.29 and 103.81±0.30,while those detected by TaqMan PCR were 108.49±0.31,105.69±0.30,103.72±0.25 copies/ml.There was no statistically significance between two methods(t=0.31,0.54 and 0.27,resectively P 0.05).The HBV-DNA concentration detected by SYBR Green I PCR of the 3 positive samples were 108.41±0.35,105.21±0.34 and 103.26±0.26 copies/ml.The sensitivity of SYBR Green PCR in detecting HBV-DNA showed no significant difference to that of TaqMan+SYBR Green I PCR for the sample with a high HBV-DNA copy number(108.48 copies/ml)(t=0.68,P0.05),but was significantly lower for the samples with lower HBV-DNA copy number(105.70 and 103.70 copies/ml)(t=2.90,2.62,respectively P0.05).The melting curves were detected in both TaqMan+SYBR Green I group and SYBR Green I group,with Tm of 71.8℃,72℃ and 79.8℃,but was not detected in HBV-DNA negative serum samples.Conclusion Sensitivity and specificity of detecting HBV-DNA by SYBR Green I combined with TaqMan PCR are higher than only using SYBR Green I or TaqMan probe.
