Development of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of Porcine Boca-like Virus.
Li B, Ma JJ, Xiao SB, Zhang XH, Wen LB, Mao L, Ni YX, Guo RL, Zhou JM, Lv LX, He KW.
The porcine boca-like virus (Pbo-likeV) was recently discovered in Swedish pigs with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for rapid, specific and sensitive...

Development of a Plexor Real-Time PCR Assay for the Detection of Porcine Circovirus Type 2
Michaela Vlasakova, Anna Jackova, Valeria Leskova, Stefan Vilcek
A novel, real-time PCR system for the detection of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was developed. The system employed Plexor technology and detected 108–101 copies per reaction of PCV2 DNA within a recombinant plasmid. The examination...

Baculovirus as a PRRSV and PCV2 Bivalent Vaccine Vector: Baculovirus Virions Displaying Simultaneously GP5 Glycoprotein of PRRSV and Capsid Protein of PCV2
Xin-Gang Xu, Zhi-Sheng Wang, Qi Zhang, Zhao-Cai Li, Li Ding, Wei Li, Hung-Yi Wu, Ching-Dong Chang, Long-Huw Leed, De-Wen Tong, Hung-Jen Liu
The GP5 glycoprotein of PRRSV is the main target for inducing neutralizing antibodies and protective immunity in the natural host. The capsid (Cap) protein is the major immunogenic protein and associated with the production of PCV2-specific neutralizing...
