OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PRIMERS, METHOD AND TEST SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING GENOME OF SHEEP NAIROBI DISEASE VIRUS BY REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION - POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C12Q1/68 C12N15/40 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to biotechnology, namely to synthetic oligonucleotide primers complementary to a conservative S-segment region of a genome of sheep Nairobi disease virus, to a method for identifying sheep Nairobi disease virus and to a test system for identifying DNA of sheep Nairobi disease virus. The offered invention can be used in veterinary virology. The method for identifying sheep Nairobi disease virus involves RNA recovery from the biological material. It is followed with conducting a polymerase chain reaction with using primers NSD F₁ 5'TATGCTTCTGCCTTGGTTG-3' NSD R₁ 5'-ATCCGATTGGC AGTGAAG-3', NSD F₂ 5'-AGAGCACATTGACTGGGC-3', NSD R₂ 5'-GCCTTCCAAAGCCAGTAG-3' Thereafter, virus RNA is amplified. Then, the reaction is assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis, with a reaction result considered as positive if the PCR product corresponds to the size of 360 base pairs.

EFFECT: offered invention allows identifying genome RNA of sheep Nairobi disease virus by means of a nidicolous version of RT-PCR with using two synthesized pairs of oligonucleotide primers complementary to conservative gene region of core protein N.
