Abstract:
A method of detecting a Borna disease virus (BDV) nucleic acid in a sample, the method comprising:a) hybridizing the nucleic acid in the sample with a probe consisting of a polynucleotide sequence encoding a human BDV polypeptide selected from the group of amino acid residue sequences consisting ofMATGPSSLVDSLEDEEDP (SEQ ID NO 32), RIYPQLPSAPTADEWDIIP (SEQ ID NO 33), MNSKHSYVELKGKVIVPG (SEQ ID NO 34), RLRNIGVGPLGPDIRSSGP (SEQ ID NO 35), GLSCNTDSTPGLIDLEIR (SEQ ID NO 36), RSKLRRRRRDTQQIEYLV (SEQ ID NO 37), LISLCVSLPASFARRRRLGRWQE (SEQ ID NO 38), MPPKRRLVDDADAMEDQD (SEQ ID NO 39), MEDQDDLYEPPASLPKLP (SEQ ID NO 40) and ELSGEISAIMRMIGVTGLN (SEQ ID NO 41); andb) determining the presence of hybridization product comprising the probe, the presence of the hybridization product indicating the presence of BDV nucleic acid in the sample.
