Serological and Molecular Assays for West Nile Virus: 

Serological and Molecular Assays for West Nile Virus Current Techniques & Improvements

Recommended Tests for WN Virus: 

Recommended Tests for WN Virus

Slide3: 

Serological Assays for West Nile Virus human serum/csf equine serum avian (chicken) IgM ELISA IgG ELISA POS NEG PRNT with: SLE, WN, DEN STOP

Slide4: 

WN Serological Data IgM ELISA P/N for WN > 2X IgM P/N to SLE. PRNT titer to WN 4-fold higher than to SLE or DEN 4-fold rise in PRNT titer to WN from acute to conv. specimen Typical Human WN Case 83% of 2001 WN cases met criteria

Slide5: 

WN Serological Data from 2001 IgM ELISA P/N for WN < IgM P/N to SLE. PRNT titer to WN 4-fold higher than to SLE or DEN

Slide6: 

WN Serological Data from 2001 IgM ELISA P/N for WN > 2X IgM P/N to SLE. 4-fold rise in PRNT titer to WN from acute to conv. Specimen Flavivirus IgG in acute serum WN & SLE PRNT titer approximately equal.

Slide7: 

Virus/Antigen Detection Assays for West Nile Virus mosquito pools avian/equine/other tissues human csf 1. NASBA & TaqMan (0.1 pfu) 2. Virus isolation (1 pfu) Antigen capture ELISA, RT-PCR & VecTest (10 pfu)

Slide8: 

Antigen-capture ELISA VecTest (WN & SLE) 18/30 (60%) TaqMan positive pools positive. Oral Swabs of avian carcasses Crows & blue jays 100% agreement with assay of brain tissues New Developments in Virus/Antigen Detection Assays for West Nile Virus 15 min

Instruments for TaqMan Assays: 

Instruments Evaluated at CDC PE-ABI 7700 – in use BioRad iCycler – in use PE-ABI 7000 MJ Research DNA Engine OPTICAN Available/Not Evaluated at CDC Cepheid SmartCycler Stratagene Mx4000 Corbett Research RotorGene Instruments for TaqMan Assays

TaqMan Multiplex Assays for Arboviruses: 

TaqMan Multiplex Assays for Arboviruses WN, SLE, and LAC detected in a single reaction. Up to 4 probes could be utilized (i.e. EEE). Instrument capable of multiplexing. WN-FAM probe SLE-CY5 probe LAC-HEX probe
