Abstract

A cross-priming isothermal amplification (CPA) assay was developed for detection of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1). In this assay, the target fragment of the FHV-1 glycoprotein B gene is amplified rapidly by Bst DNA polymerase at a constant temperature (63 °C, 45 min), using a simple thermostat. The assay had no cross-reactions with four types of feline viruses, and the detection limit was 100 copies/μl. The positive rate of clinical samples from CPA was 100% consistent with qPCR but higher than ordinary PCR, indicating its superiority to ordinary PCR. Visualization was achieved using SYBR Green I dye.
