[Strain differentiation of the Newcastle disease virus by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing population exchange].

A system for detection and strain differentiation of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) by reverse transcription of polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (isolation of RNA, choice of primers for nested PCR, and purification of PCR products) and sequencing is developed and optimized. A nucleotide sequence of gene F site, coding for the F2/F1 cleavage site of F0 fusion protein and including several hypervariable regions, is determined for 10 Russian strains and vaccine strains. The data indicate a replacement of NDV populations in Russia and a rapid evolution of the virus. The origin of pathogenic NDV strains which have been circulating up to the present time is still unknown.

[The nucleotide sequences of the HN gene and F gene fragment of Newcastle disease virus strains BOR74 and BOR82].

The complete nucleotide sequence of HN gene, the region of F gene, and intergene regions (M-F, F-HN, and HN-L) of the BOR74 and BOR82 strains of Newcastle disease virus have been determined. Based on the nucleotide and amino acid sequences, the speeds of the nucleic and amino acid changes were calculated (approximately 10(-3) nucleotides or amino acids/year). The BOR strains were grouped phylogenetically with the asymptomatic strains. These strains and the BOR strains have the same motif of the cleavage site (112GKQGR116-L117), but the HN protein of BOR strains has the 572 amino acids which differ the BOR strains from all other strains (571, 577, and 616 amino acids).

[A simple method for RNA isolation and purification].

RNAs from Escherichia coli cells, Syrian hamster kidney cells, foot-and-mouth disease virus, and Newcastle disease virus were isolated using glass fiber filters GF/F or GF/C. The RNA was reversibly adsorbed on the filters in the presence of 2 M guanidine thiocyanate and 50% ethanol (or isopropanol) and eluted with water. The fraction composition of the isolated RNA depended on the guanidine thiocyanate and alcohol concentrations in the adsorption and washing procedures. The RNA preparations obtained by this method can be used in reverse transcription and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction without additional purification.
