Original Article: Real time reverse transcription (RRT)‐polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for detection of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus and European swine influenza A virus infections in pigs 2010-08-17 .txt text/plain 7990 469 62 Fifteen of these specimens (six swabs and nine tissues) were shown to be Avian influenza viruses, with highly pathogenic (HP) H5 and H7 isolates indicated positive for H1N1v by non-RRT PCR approaches (Table 3) , i.e. amplification of RNA extracted from the clinical specimen by conventional RT PCR using primers that had been designed specifically for the HA gene of current H1N1v isolates, available at: http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/swineflu/GenomePrimers_20090512.pdf Amplicons were electrophoresed in 2% agarose and stained with RedSafeÔ (iNtRON Biotechnology, Kyungki-Do, Korea) for visualisation, excised and purified from agarose using the QIAquick Ò Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Crawley, UK). These test results with archived tissue specimens obtained from the field reinforced the observation that the ''perfect match'' M gene RRT PCR is the most sensitive for detecting contemporary European and UK SIVs. All 31 archived UK tissue samples from SIV-positive pigs were negative by the ''H1-118'' RRT PCR assay (Table 2) . ./cache/cord-307338-4nta9b6w.txt ./txt/cord-307338-4nta9b6w.txt
