BACKGROUND: Dengue fever is caused by four related RNA viruses of the genus Flavivirus, dengue virus (DENV)-1, -2, -3, and -4, which are transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Although DENV is not endemic in Japan, an autochthonous dengue outbreak occurred in 2014. Several transfusion-transmitted cases have also been reported after the use of blood and plasma products in DENV-endemic countries. The aim of this study was to develop a novel multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for DENV blood screening.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Large-scale oligonucleotide screening was performed to obtain DENV-specific primers and probes using a variety of DENV clinical isolates. A multiplex RT-PCR assay was then developed using the identified oligonucleotides and the ability of this assay to detect DENV RNA was evaluated.
RESULTS: A number of oligonucleotides suitable for DENV RNA detection were identified and a novel DENV serotype-specific multiplex RT-PCR assay was successfully established. Comparative analysis revealed that the multiplex assay could detect levels of viral contamination as low as 100 viral copies/mL.
CONCLUSION: This established serotype-specific multiplex RT-PCR assay provides a simple, sensitive, and quantitative detection method for DENV, which could be applied in the screening of blood samples to prevent transfusion-transmitted DENV infection.
