Detection of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Different Lymphoid Organs by Single-Step Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction and Microplate Hybridization Assay
A rapid and sensitive method for the detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) RNA in different chicken lymphoid organs was developed. The method is based on a single-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detection method of amplified products. Vaccinal IBDV strain and field isolates were used for the optimization of RT-PCR and for the determination of conditions for microplate hybridization and colorimetric detection of the amplicons. With this method, viral RNA could be detected in various stages of infection in samples of different lymphoid organs. Bursas and cecal tonsils were suitable organs for viral RNA detection at different times during IBDV infection. The RT-PCR/ELISA method can be applied for IBDV detection in routine diagnostic tests, which are not usually carried out because of the difficulties involved in isolating the virus.
