PhD student in Chemical and Biological Engineering in Sheffield University

Beta herpesvirusesGenome Direct or inverted repeat sequences( unique regions of the genome Unique long ULUS caused

A) circularization B) recombination within the genome

1) slow ndash growing 2)emlargment of infected cells 3) become latent in secretary glands and kidney

CMV replicates in epithelial cells of respiratory tract salivary gland kidney and persist in lymphocytes

Left Cytomegalovirus History Right Figure of Herpesviruses CMV is reported in 1956 ( was

first isolated from salivary gland and kidney of two dying infants with cytomegalic inclusion bodies

Initially called salivary gland virus ldquo

In 1960 Weller et al purposed the term Cytomegalovirus

In 1965 Klemola and et al described CMV mononucleosis

In 1965 was first isolated in a renal transplant recipient

Cytomegalovirus Infection Congenital infection

Prenatal infection

Infection in children and adults

Transmission via transfusion and transplantation

Infection in the immunocompromised host

Congenital Infection the most prevalent viral cause of congenital

disease ( 05 - 25 )Approximately 40000 per year have clinical

evidence of ( such as small size thrombocytopenia microcephaly interacereberal calcification jaundice hepatosplenomegaly and rash ( cytomehalic inclusion disease)

Hearing loss

Mental retardationDetection of CMV by isolation of viruses from urine

( during the first week of life

Infection In ImmonocompromisedPneumonia and pneumonitis Retinitis Interstitial pneumoniaColitis and esophagitis Failure of many kidney transplant

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

Figure Left Cytopatic Affect of CMV Figure Right Cells from a lung biopsy demonstratingthe classic ldquoowlrsquos eyerdquo inclusion bodies

Left Inclusions in the lining cells of the renal tubules of transplanted patient Right Retinal pathology caused bycytomegalovirus in a patient with acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome showing retinalnecrosis with hemorrhage

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

6) one tenth of taken solution from Sodium Acetate was added and then two times of the taken volume Cold Ethanol 96 solution was added and centrifuged in 13000 Rpm for 15 Min

7) All of the solution was evacuated on clean paper8) 100 microl Ethanol 75 solution was added and after 10s Vertexed then

centrifuged for 3 Min in 13000 rpm 9) total solution was evacuated on a clean paper allowed the tube be

dried then 30 microl sterile distillated water added 10) DNA extracted to time use was kept and freeze in - 20 ˚C

DNA Extraction from Leukocyte by R Cunningham et al Method in 19951) Glycigel preserved whole blood was melted a 37 ˚C

water bath2) 1CC from above solution centrifuged at 14000 rpm for

one Min3) The top 05 ml was discarded 05ml Lysis Buffer added4) This was centrifuged 14000 rpm for 20 S 5) Pellet cellular washed twice with 1 ml Lysis Buffer 6) The pellet was resuspended in 100 microl Extraction Buffer

and 06 microl Proteinase K was added7) This solution was heated in a 60 ˚C water bath for two

hours 8) The Proteinase K denatured by heating to 95 ˚C for 10

Min9) The extract was stored at -20 ˚C until processed

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

Electrophorus of PCR ProductsTo this purpose 15 agarose gel sheet

containing Etidium Bromide was prepared Gel was placed in a thank containing 05 X TBE and 10 microl of PCR Product from each tube was mixed with 1 microl Loading Buffer for confirmation results 3 microl standard ladder of 100 bp also were utilized Thank electrophoresis were connected to feeding recourse and for 20-25 Min PCR products were electrophoreses under voltage 80 After this period PCR products were considered by Gel Document device

Setting up of Experiment by Positive Control Sample To set up of experiment with new primers

there was no published working-model available on these primers Standard program in DrShah Hoseini book with minor modification was utilized Primary PCR according to methods and materials paragraphs 2-11-1 was performed and band 257 bp for plasmid which Cytomegalovirus gB gene was cloned in it comparison with ladder 100 bp observed But DNA extracted samples were taken in Gholhak lab was verified the results was in according to Fig 2-1

MgCl2 ConcentrationFigures 2-2 2-3 To 6 pits show

2mMconcentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C) 7 to 12 pits show MgCl2 25mM concentration respectively at same temperatures

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Beta herpesvirusesGenome Direct or inverted repeat sequences( unique regions of the genome Unique long ULUS caused

A) circularization B) recombination within the genome

1) slow ndash growing 2)emlargment of infected cells 3) become latent in secretary glands and kidney

CMV replicates in epithelial cells of respiratory tract salivary gland kidney and persist in lymphocytes

Left Cytomegalovirus History Right Figure of Herpesviruses CMV is reported in 1956 ( was

first isolated from salivary gland and kidney of two dying infants with cytomegalic inclusion bodies

Initially called salivary gland virus ldquo

In 1960 Weller et al purposed the term Cytomegalovirus

In 1965 Klemola and et al described CMV mononucleosis

In 1965 was first isolated in a renal transplant recipient

Cytomegalovirus Infection Congenital infection

Prenatal infection

Infection in children and adults

Transmission via transfusion and transplantation

Infection in the immunocompromised host

Congenital Infection the most prevalent viral cause of congenital

disease ( 05 - 25 )Approximately 40000 per year have clinical

evidence of ( such as small size thrombocytopenia microcephaly interacereberal calcification jaundice hepatosplenomegaly and rash ( cytomehalic inclusion disease)

Hearing loss

Mental retardationDetection of CMV by isolation of viruses from urine

( during the first week of life

Infection In ImmonocompromisedPneumonia and pneumonitis Retinitis Interstitial pneumoniaColitis and esophagitis Failure of many kidney transplant

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

Figure Left Cytopatic Affect of CMV Figure Right Cells from a lung biopsy demonstratingthe classic ldquoowlrsquos eyerdquo inclusion bodies

Left Inclusions in the lining cells of the renal tubules of transplanted patient Right Retinal pathology caused bycytomegalovirus in a patient with acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome showing retinalnecrosis with hemorrhage

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Left Cytomegalovirus History Right Figure of Herpesviruses CMV is reported in 1956 ( was

first isolated from salivary gland and kidney of two dying infants with cytomegalic inclusion bodies

Initially called salivary gland virus ldquo

In 1960 Weller et al purposed the term Cytomegalovirus

In 1965 Klemola and et al described CMV mononucleosis

In 1965 was first isolated in a renal transplant recipient

Cytomegalovirus Infection Congenital infection

Prenatal infection

Infection in children and adults

Transmission via transfusion and transplantation

Infection in the immunocompromised host

Congenital Infection the most prevalent viral cause of congenital

disease ( 05 - 25 )Approximately 40000 per year have clinical

evidence of ( such as small size thrombocytopenia microcephaly interacereberal calcification jaundice hepatosplenomegaly and rash ( cytomehalic inclusion disease)

Infection In ImmonocompromisedPneumonia and pneumonitis Retinitis Interstitial pneumoniaColitis and esophagitis Failure of many kidney transplant

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

Figure Left Cytopatic Affect of CMV Figure Right Cells from a lung biopsy demonstratingthe classic ldquoowlrsquos eyerdquo inclusion bodies

Left Inclusions in the lining cells of the renal tubules of transplanted patient Right Retinal pathology caused bycytomegalovirus in a patient with acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome showing retinalnecrosis with hemorrhage

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

4) The supernatant was evacuated and pellet was in the bottom of tube5) 500 microl Washing Buffer was added and pellet resuspended in it and was

spine( 10S in 8000 rpm) this step three times were repeated6) All of solution were evacuated and allowed the tube is dried

7) Then 35 microl distillated water was added and tube is placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

immunodeficiency syndrome showing retinalnecrosis with hemorrhage

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

MgCl2 ConcentrationFigures 2-2 2-3 To 6 pits show

2mMconcentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C) 7 to 12 pits show MgCl2 25mM concentration respectively at same temperatures

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Infection In ImmonocompromisedPneumonia and pneumonitis Retinitis Interstitial pneumoniaColitis and esophagitis Failure of many kidney transplant

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

immunodeficiency syndrome showing retinalnecrosis with hemorrhage

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Infection inhellip HCMV infection is associated with

significant disease and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals Patients at greatest risk from HCMV infection include

1) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- infected individuals 2) renal transplant 3) patients who receive stem cell harvests and bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients

immunodeficiency syndrome showing retinalnecrosis with hemorrhage

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

Electrophorus of PCR ProductsTo this purpose 15 agarose gel sheet

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Left Clinical Manifestations Right atypical lymphocyte CMV disease is usually

defined as CMV infection accompanied by clinical manifestations The most common of these is a viral syndrome with malaise fever leucopenia atypical lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia mild to Moderate elevations of serum aminotranferases

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

The virus importance in kidney transplantationHCMV infection is a frequent complication of

kidney transplantation especially in the period 1 to 4 months after transplantation Overall incidences of HCMV infection and disease during the first 100 days post-transplantation 60 and 25 respectively when no HCMV prophylaxis or pre-emptive therapy is given HCMV infection is an independent risk-factor for kidney graft rejection and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Diagnosis Methods 1-Histopathology ( Tissue ) Detects inclusion bodies very insensitive

requires biopsy2- Serology ( Serum) Several techniques available for detection of

IgG and IgM ELISA is most common but others include

complement fixation latex agglutination Useful to detect past

exposure (IgG) serology results are difficult to interpret especially in Immonocompromised patients

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Diagnosis Methods3- Conventional culture ( Any) Long development time (21 days) is a

relatively insensitive method Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

4- Shell vial assay (Any) Rapid development time (1 to 2 d) Semi quantifiable Less labor

intensive than Antigenemia assay Positive test indicates active CMV Sensitivity decreased drastically with a delay of processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Diagnosis Methods5- Antigenemia assay

( Blood) Or PP65 Antigenemia

erythrocyte Lysis leukocyte fixation and Permeablization process Rapid (same day) Semi quantifiable Labor intensive requires

specially trained technician Sensitivity decreased with a delay of

processing exceeding 6 h

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Diagnosis Methods6 - PCR (Any) Fairly rapid (same day) Most sensitive of all tests

Positive test indicates active CMV but not necessarily latent CMV rarely detectable quantification PCR of DNA is not affected by delays in transportation

7- Hybrid capture assay ( Any)Rapid Detects viral DNA less sensitive than PCR

Quantifiable8- Branched DNA ( Any) Less sensitive9- NASBA (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification)

(Any) Detects viral RNA highly sensitive10 - In situ DNA hybridization (Tissue) Requires special techniques may localize CMV DNA

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

SummaryRapid diagnostic such as PP65

Antigenemia PCR NASBA for detection of viral genome or mRNA are more sensitive than traditional methods To detect virus from latency to replication before onset disease

Molecular assays are now considered asrdquo Gold Standardrdquo for assessment of disease and the presses of prescription antiviral drugs have essential role

Result make the use of pre-emptive therapy possible

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Pre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold Standard Methods was first described in the early 1990 by

Rubin

as a means of reducing the incidence of HCMV disease By antiviral drugs

Antiviral treatment is initiated when HCMV positivist is detected in the blood or BAL fluid using sensitive methods such as PCR NASBA and PP65 Antigenemia

Treatment

(FDA) Ganciclovir cidofovir and Foscarnet

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

Electrophorus of PCR ProductsTo this purpose 15 agarose gel sheet

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Why PCR Method Was Selected1)PCR is most sensitive of others assays2) Many samples and earlier time HCMV

infection were identified by PCR assay3) PCR also stayed positive for the longest

time after transplantation4)In the study of Werner et al(2004USA)

Piiparinen et al(2001Finland) Gregory et al (1994USA)etc has been showmen that PCR was the more sensitive of other assays

HerpesvirusesThe name is derived from a Greek word

meaning to creep Cold sores were described in antiquity and viral etiology was established in 1919

A large group of envelop viruses contains of DNA ( ds DNA linear approximately 150 nm in diameter ) is surrounded by an icosadeltahedral Capsid containing 162 capsomers

Materials and MethodsThe first time PCR

method was performed in 1991 to identify HCMV infection on serum samples at Maryland University by Frickhofen amp Neal S Young

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Positive Control Samples Method of preparing control positive 1- Plasmid sample in which CMV virus gB

gene was cloned and was prepared by Tehran Medical Sciences university children institute used as positive control sample

2- Some samples extracted DNA from Gholhak Lab

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Sample gathering

Preparation serum sample The serum sample was taken from 59 kidney transplant

recipients in Baqiyatallah (as) Hospital These patients were in two groups first week post transplantation and second at least fours years after transplantation Serums were kept and freeze in ndash 20 ˚C and then were stored in - 70 ˚C

Preparing plasma samples 68 plasma samples of kidney transplantation recipients from

Gholhak lab were prepared At least 15 months after transplantation

Preparing leukocyte samples From 10 patients 4 weeks after transplantation plasma and

leukocyte were separated and used to identify CMV

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Designation and selecting primersIn this study we designed primers for to set up of experiment

So designing primers was performed according to studying many sources Finally the segment CMV virus GB gene sequence accruing to L Barber et al in 1999 was selected (Note just gene had been brought and these primers havenrsquot been used)

In this study a piece of glycoprotein B of Human Cytomegalovirus (a protected section) was selected and several primers by Gunrunner software were designed Finally among them these primers were selected (next slides)

These primers both have 22 nucleotides reproduce the piece 257 bp of GB gene virus The sequence related to Lab strain AD169 To comparison with this sequence to other strain of this virus no different in sequence between them were observed

Blast results and Homology Rate Considerations confirmed that above primer pair

which its aimed gene is HCMV virus gB has the ability of identifying and amplification a piece of genome in length of 257 bp Analyzing of primers by computer (BLAST Software) showed that both primers have 100 homology with Human Cytomegalovirus genome and can identify different strains

Also to assess the primers specifications for loop formation Oligo and Gene Runner were used The results of primers analysis and unspecialized disjoining evolution (loop amp primerdimer) are in a desirable status Selected primers to be made were ordered to South Korea Co Bioneer

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

Electrophorus of PCR ProductsTo this purpose 15 agarose gel sheet

containing Etidium Bromide was prepared Gel was placed in a thank containing 05 X TBE and 10 microl of PCR Product from each tube was mixed with 1 microl Loading Buffer for confirmation results 3 microl standard ladder of 100 bp also were utilized Thank electrophoresis were connected to feeding recourse and for 20-25 Min PCR products were electrophoreses under voltage 80 After this period PCR products were considered by Gel Document device

Setting up of Experiment by Positive Control Sample To set up of experiment with new primers

there was no published working-model available on these primers Standard program in DrShah Hoseini book with minor modification was utilized Primary PCR according to methods and materials paragraphs 2-11-1 was performed and band 257 bp for plasmid which Cytomegalovirus gB gene was cloned in it comparison with ladder 100 bp observed But DNA extracted samples were taken in Gholhak lab was verified the results was in according to Fig 2-1

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

4) The supernatant was evacuated and pellet was in the bottom of tube5) 500 microl Washing Buffer was added and pellet resuspended in it and was

spine( 10S in 8000 rpm) this step three times were repeated6) All of solution were evacuated and allowed the tube is dried

7) Then 35 microl distillated water was added and tube is placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved

8) Then spin (10S in 8000rpm) and the top clear liquid was removed (DNA in liquid phase)

9) For confirmation of process 5 microl of top clear liquid was removed and electrophoresis

10) The top clear liquid was kept and freezes in ndash 20 C until for sequencing was sent to France

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

hours 8) The Proteinase K denatured by heating to 95 ˚C for 10

Min9) The extract was stored at -20 ˚C until processed

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Purity VerificationTo determine DNA purity OD values in

wavelength 260 to 280 Nm are measured if this ratio 18 ndash 2 DNA have enough purity if is less than this

1) Contamination with protein 2) Contamination with Aromatic material like

Phenol3) And if is more than 2 contamination with

RNA Since 260280 ratio is between 18 to 2 then

our DNA has desirable purity

Preparing Gel Agarose

For this purpose 015gr agarose powder special for PCR is weighted and mixed with 10CC TBE 1X buffer was heated until being cleared When the mixture temperature approximately reached 45 ˚C 2 microl of Etidium Bromide were added to it and solution was poured in a special container and proper comb was placed in it After getting cold and darkness of gel the comb was ousted

Electrophorus of PCR ProductsTo this purpose 15 agarose gel sheet

containing Etidium Bromide was prepared Gel was placed in a thank containing 05 X TBE and 10 microl of PCR Product from each tube was mixed with 1 microl Loading Buffer for confirmation results 3 microl standard ladder of 100 bp also were utilized Thank electrophoresis were connected to feeding recourse and for 20-25 Min PCR products were electrophoreses under voltage 80 After this period PCR products were considered by Gel Document device

Setting up of Experiment by Positive Control Sample To set up of experiment with new primers

there was no published working-model available on these primers Standard program in DrShah Hoseini book with minor modification was utilized Primary PCR according to methods and materials paragraphs 2-11-1 was performed and band 257 bp for plasmid which Cytomegalovirus gB gene was cloned in it comparison with ladder 100 bp observed But DNA extracted samples were taken in Gholhak lab was verified the results was in according to Fig 2-1

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

4) The supernatant was evacuated and pellet was in the bottom of tube5) 500 microl Washing Buffer was added and pellet resuspended in it and was

spine( 10S in 8000 rpm) this step three times were repeated6) All of solution were evacuated and allowed the tube is dried

7) Then 35 microl distillated water was added and tube is placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved

8) Then spin (10S in 8000rpm) and the top clear liquid was removed (DNA in liquid phase)

9) For confirmation of process 5 microl of top clear liquid was removed and electrophoresis

10) The top clear liquid was kept and freezes in ndash 20 C until for sequencing was sent to France

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

4) The supernatant was evacuated and pellet was in the bottom of tube5) 500 microl Washing Buffer was added and pellet resuspended in it and was

spine( 10S in 8000 rpm) this step three times were repeated6) All of solution were evacuated and allowed the tube is dried

7) Then 35 microl distillated water was added and tube is placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved

8) Then spin (10S in 8000rpm) and the top clear liquid was removed (DNA in liquid phase)

9) For confirmation of process 5 microl of top clear liquid was removed and electrophoresis

10) The top clear liquid was kept and freezes in ndash 20 C until for sequencing was sent to France

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

MgCl2 ConcentrationFigures 2-2 2-3 To 6 pits show

2mMconcentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C) 7 to 12 pits show MgCl2 25mM concentration respectively at same temperatures

To 18 pits show 1mM concentration of MgCl2 respectively in six temperatures (51C to 56C)19 to 24 pits show MgCl2 15 mM concentration respectively at these temperatures

MgCl2 Concentration

Results indicate that MgCl2 concentration has importance in reaction procedure 1mM 15mM 2mM and 25mM in six cases temperature from

51 ˚C to 56 ˚C to determine the best MgCl2 concentration were used Since desirable MgCl2 concentration can be different temperatures it was necessary to considerate the concentrations of this material in different temperatures to prepare the possibility of comparison

MgCl2 concentrationBased on frequent results obtained from the test

15mM concentration was the best for PCR reaction In contrast 55 ˚C temperature also was desirable one which in it primers can easily join their aim and from other side in this stage the sensitive test The power of received bands were maintained With decreasing MgCl2 concentration received band became weaker On contrast adding temperature to 56 ˚C caused decreasing of the band rate Figures 2-2 2-3

Finally 15mM concentration was selected as the best MgCl2 concentration and best volume for PCR reaction selected 075 microl

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Extracted DNA Amount

Annealing temperature was 55˚C Result The best DNA amount for reaction in

terms of sharpness and best value of 5 microl of extracted DNA were selected which are pertaining to tube No4 of table 2-5 to materials and methods

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Primers ConcentrationAdjustment of primers with two different

concentrations of primers according to paragraph 2-12-13 of materials and methods was performed and after several repetition of PCR test 10 Pmol of each Forward and Reverse primers considered as desirable amount Of course with increasing primer amount to 20 Pmol a good band received but the extra amount of primers in received pictures was considerable and receive band had no significant difference with created band with 10 Pmolmicrol

Rate of dNTPs and Polymerase Taq Enzyme

Concentration Rate of dNTPs

Determining dNTPs concentration rate in articles is not so common because minimum dNTPs amount was used( 05 microl) and sharp band also observed so there was no need to optimize dNTPs concentration

Polymerase Taq Enzyme concentration Due to utilization of Taq enzyme( 02 microl) and

seeing sharp band there was no need to optimize Taq

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Amplification Cycles

Based on paragraph 2-12-4 materials an methods section The PCR reaction were performed in 30 and 35 cycles) The best selected cycle number was 30 cycle

And increasing the cycles to 35 regarding the term of placing enzyme in high temperature accuses denaturizing it So amount of received band made in 35 cycle no difference with 30 cycles

Annealing temperatureAccording to paragraph 2-12-5 materials and

methods annealing temperature were performed in 51 ˚C to 56 ˚C The best

temperature for annealing was determined 55 ˚C

Result In the case that that best temperature for primers not selected joining primers to unspecific genome sequences causes extra bands (Fig 2-1) So the different stages temperature in PCR reaction was altered to get the best temperature

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

4) The supernatant was evacuated and pellet was in the bottom of tube5) 500 microl Washing Buffer was added and pellet resuspended in it and was

spine( 10S in 8000 rpm) this step three times were repeated6) All of solution were evacuated and allowed the tube is dried

7) Then 35 microl distillated water was added and tube is placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved

8) Then spin (10S in 8000rpm) and the top clear liquid was removed (DNA in liquid phase)

9) For confirmation of process 5 microl of top clear liquid was removed and electrophoresis

10) The top clear liquid was kept and freezes in ndash 20 C until for sequencing was sent to France

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

Comparing and Identifying Cytomegalovirus DNA in Leukocyte amp Plasma

Recognizing cytomegalovirus DNA in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and identified sooner so this is compatible with our results and we could identify virus DNA at four weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma in four weeks after transplantation still was negative

The process of product for sequencing 1) First 40 microl from PCR product was poured in 15CC tube and 3 equals

volume Banding Solution was added2) To over solution 5 microl of Silica gel Suspension solution was added

3( Over solution in placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved For 15S in 8000 rpm was spine

4) The supernatant was evacuated and pellet was in the bottom of tube5) 500 microl Washing Buffer was added and pellet resuspended in it and was

spine( 10S in 8000 rpm) this step three times were repeated6) All of solution were evacuated and allowed the tube is dried

7) Then 35 microl distillated water was added and tube is placed in water bath 55 ˚C for 5 Min and permanently was moved

8) Then spin (10S in 8000rpm) and the top clear liquid was removed (DNA in liquid phase)

9) For confirmation of process 5 microl of top clear liquid was removed and electrophoresis

10) The top clear liquid was kept and freezes in ndash 20 C until for sequencing was sent to France

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML

Discussion The delays in HCMV infection diagnosis at

first four months after kidney transplantation due to transplanted kidney reject

Antigen detection like PP65 Antigenemia can not use in medical labs a) more expensive than PCR assay B) with six hours delay the sensitive was reduced and caused false positive amp negative C) required experienced technician and florescent microscope D) required to monoclonal antibody

DiscussionSome of the researchers announced the detection of

latent viruses in PBL by PCR assay that of course this subject wasnrsquot accepted in this study

1) During a latent infection of lymphocytes the only region of the genome to be transcripted that were named as Latency- Associated Transcriptrdquo (LATs) but these RNAs are not translated into protein

2) LATS and no other viral genome related to latent infection

3) Gene expression were limited to E genome4) The gene used in our method has belonged to late

genome

DiscussionPre-emptive Treatment Refer to Gold

Standard Methods Scientists announced that hellipIt is generally agreed that it is better to

prevent HCMV disease with pre- emptive approaches than to treat an established disease since a virus infection may induce pathological phenomenon unresponsive to antiviral drugs an extensive tissue damage that may result in transplanted organ failure

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionFrom 33 patients with positive PCR test 20

people (666 ) had clinical symptoms include fever leucopenia thrombocytopenia interstitial pneumonia and junctures inflammation Also 13 ones (334 ) had no clinical symptoms of illness thus our PCR test can identify patients with clinical symptom of HCMV also patients without these Our result is in confirmatory with Vligeramp Van Drop results

DiscussionResearchers performed by Sabine Yearly et al

(2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland )showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML Our results also were approved that can identify both infections

DiscussionIn study of Warner and at al (USA) 104

kidney transplant recipients 27patents were recognized with PCR assay while with PP65 Antigenemia 11 Patients were recognized

All patients were in D+R+ serology group Prevalence infection+R+) in the world 21

in our study259 1- time 2- attend of problem patients

DiscussionFrequency incidence of infection

dependent on previous serological condition of donors and recipients ( primary infection in serological group D+R- is 70 ndash 90 in expose of Kidney reject and the most of hospital avoid from transplantation

D - R+ is 20 (virus reactivation ) D+ R+ is 21 D -R- is rare ( the best choice )

DiscussionIn Weinberg et al research (2002) also Woo et al (1997)

was showed cytomegalovirus DNA molecular recognition in leukocyte relative to plasma is more sensitive and can be sooner recognized which this is compatible to our results and we could recognized DNA virus 4 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte while these patients plasma still was negative and our findings are the same as Eckart at al (1997) and Tong et al (2000) results

CMV virus DNA may sooner and for longer time than DNA is appear in plasma Studies on PCR sensitivity prove that averagely they become positive 8 to 13 days before disease appearance (Tong et al 2000)

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

DiscussionIn study of DrMakvandi et al(2004Iran) could recognized DNA virus 4-7 weeks after transplantation in leukocyte With PP65 Antigenemia

Conclusion

So the most important difficultly in recognizing Cytomegalovirus is delay in recognition which affect patients tracing and one of the most important causes in patients tracing is fast recognition of HCMV infection which is no feasible by serologic tests like ELISA and this situation PCR test can help recognizing virus on time and from third weeks after kidney transplantation this test can be applied

Recommendations1) PCR test as the best method to recognize CMV

infection In the case of using other test to identify HCMV infection certainly PCR molecular methods as a complementary and reference method should be utilized

2) The best time for applying PCR test in kidney transplantation recipients is third weeks after transplantation and this time HCMV infection should be considered

3) The best sample to identify HCMV infection is PBL especially for the first consideration leukocyte sample is recommended

4) Best time to incept the treatment is when the asymptomatic infections can be identified by PCR molecular method

Difficulties Available in This Survey 1) The single weakness of this method is

unidentifying the rate of virus load in sample2) Lack of Tracing in different time after

kidney transplantation

Thanks for Your Pay attention

For My Opinion This Subject is still ChallengeIn Herman Einsele and et al research (1991) the

least DNA value that was identifiable (serial dilution) by PCR molecular method was 10 FL This rate sensitivity for virus dose not seems reasonable while in this research also real time method has not been utilized

Currently Research Researches performed by

Sabine Yearly et al (2007 Switzerland) and Piiparinen et al( 2001Fanland ) with Real Time showed that CMV symptomatic infections average peak load was 55100 copiesMl in whole blood while for asymptomatic infections this rate was averagely 1820 CopiesML
