[Detection of WU polyomavirus in children with low respiratory tract infections using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR].

Objective: Development and application of a real time fluorescent quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) assay for detecting WU polyomavirus in children with low respiratory tract infections.

Methods: The VP2 gene of WU polyomavirus was selected as the detection target, from which the real time primers and probes were designed. The standard curve was established by using recombinant plasmid as template.

[Isolation and cell culture of human bocavirus (HBoV) by human bronchial epithelial cell lines].

Objective: To investigate pave a way for studying pathogenicty of HBoV.

Methods: Isolation and cell culture of HBoV by human bronchial epithelial cell line, which was founded in our laboratory. The morphology of the virus were primarily studied with a transmission electron microscope.

[Expression of recombinant VP2 gene in insect sf9 cells and screening of clinical specimens].

Objective: To clone and express VP, gene from HBoV, and the expressed VP, protein was as the antigen in order to detect serum from children in Wenling area with lower respiratory tract infections.

Methods: The VP, gene was recombined with the genome of Baculovirus, which infected the insect cell. The fusion protein with HA tag was applied to confirm the specificity of expressed protein.

[Identification of KI polyomavirus in children with lower respiratory tract infections from Zhejiang region of China].

KI polyomavirus, which was firstly discovered in 2007, is a new human polyomavirus belonging to Polyomaviridae and containing circular double-strand genomic DNA. This study was based on identification assay of KI polyomavirus reported. Total 2293 clinical sputum specimens from children under 3-years-old were collected and screened from Wenzhou Medical College affiliated Wenling Hospital, Zhejiang Province.

[Characterization of the cytopathic effect in human bronchial epithelial cell after Human Bocavirus Infection (HBoV)].

Objective: In this study, human bronchial epithelial cells were inoculated with positive sputum specimens of HBoV. After four days' infection, cytopathic effects (CPE) were observed by inverted microscopy. These viruses all cause typical cell damages such as rounded and shrivelled, fusion and fallout.

[Discovery and identification of WU polyomavirus in children from Zhejing region].

WU polyomavirus, which was firstly discovered in 2007, is a new human polyomavirus belonging to Polyomaviridae and containing circular double-stranded genomic DNA. In this study, the 278 clinical sputum specimens from children under 5 years old were collected from Wenzhou Medical College affiliated Wenling First Hospital, Zhejiang Province. Based on identification assay of WU polyomavirus previously reported, a WU polyomavirus was identified from clinical samples successfully, the positive rate was 0.
