Resumo
Um método de diagnóstico baseado na associação entre as técnicas de RT-PCR e ELISA foi desenvolvido para a detecção do vírus da bronquite infecciosa das aves (VBI). Inicialmente, a especificidade e a sensibilidade analíticas dessa técnica, bem como dos métodos de RT-PCR e Nested-RT-PCR, foram determinadas, tendo-se demonstrado, para o primeiro parâmetro, apenas a detecção do VBI, enquanto que outros vírus heterólogos aviários testados, tais como pneumovírus aviário (APV / estirpe do grupo B), vírus da doença de Newcastle (NDV / estirpe La Sota) e vírus da doença de Gumboro (GDV - estirpe Lukert), não foram detectados. Quanto à avaliação da sensibilidade analítica dos métodos empregados neste estudo foi constatado que o RT-PCR-ELISA demonstrou ser 10 vezes mais sensível do que a RT-PCR, enquanto que a reação de Nested-PCR foi 100 vezes mais sensível que a RT-PCR e 10 vezes mais sensível que o RT-PCR-ELISA. A técnica de RT-PCR-ELISA, juntamente com os outros dois métodos de biologia molecular, foram aplicadas para a detecção das estirpes H-120 e A034 do VBI, em amostras de pulmão e traquéia obtidas de aves experimentalmente infectadas com essas duas estirpes virais. Os resultados obtidos nos diferentes métodos de biologia molecular foram comparados entre si e com a técnica padrão de isolamento viral em ovos embrionados, verificando-se que o RT-PCR-ELISA revelou-se tão específico quanto as técnicas de isolamento viral e Nested-PCR, porém foi menos sensível do que esses mesmos métodos na detecção do VBI. A técnica de RT-PCR-ELISA, utilizada pela primeira vez para o VBI, demonstrou o potencial de se constituir uma alternativa viável para um diagnóstico direto mais rápido e específico do VBI.
A molecular biology method for the detection of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) was developed combining the reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Firstly, the analytical specificity and sensitivity of RT-PCR-ELISA, RT-PCR and Nested-RT-PCR were assessed. The specificity of these methods were confirmed since only IBV was detected, while other heterologous avian viral pathogens such as pneumovirus (Group B), Newcastle disease virus (LaSota strain) and gumboro disease virus (Lukert strain) were not detected by these techniques. The sensitivity of these methods was established, indicating that the RT-PCR-ELISA was about ten times more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR, while Nested-PCR was a hundred more sensitive than RT-PCR and ten times more sensitive than PCR-ELISA. The RT-PCR-ELISA and the two molecular biology methods were also applied for the detection of IBV strains H-120 and A034, in lung and tracheal tissue samples collected from experimentally infected chickens. The results of these different methods were also compared with the standard diagnostic technique, the virus isolation in chicken embryonated eggs, showing that RT-PCR-ELISA was as specific as virus isolation and Nested-PCR, however it was less sensitive than these methods for the IBV detection. The RT-PCR-ELISA, applied for the first time for IBV detection and direct diagnosis in tissue samples, can be potentially applied as an useful alternative for the rapid and specific diagnosis of IBV.
