Background technology
Rotavirus is one of sick modal pathogenic agent of global infant's severe diarrhea, its main infection intestinal epithelial cell, thus causes cell injury, causes diarrhoea.Rotavirus is popular in autumn and winter in summer every year, and route of infection is excrement a bite approach, and clinical manifestation is acute gastroenteritis, and sick in osmotic diarrhea, the course of disease is generally 7 days, and heating continues 3 days, vomits 2 ~ 3 days, suffers from diarrhoea 5 days, seriously occur dewatering symptom.
Rotavirus always has seven kinds, is numbered A, B, C, D, E, F and G etc. respectively with English alphabet.The mankind are mainly subject to the infection of rotavirus A kind, B kind and C kind, and wherein modal be the infection of rotavirus A kind.And these seven kinds of rotaviruss all can cause disease with it other animals.
Among rotavirus A kind, there is different virus strain, be referred to as serum variant (serovar).Similar with influenza virus, rotavirus employs dual categorizing system, does to classify according to two structural protein matter of virosomal surface.Glycoprotein VP7 defines G type.P type is then defined for protease-sensitive protein VP4.P type can indicate P serotype with a numeral, and indicates corresponding P genotype by a numeral of square bracket inside.The method for expressing of G serotype is also very similar, but the genotypic numeral of G can be identical with the numeral of G serotype.For one thing, " Rotavirus Wa strain virus strain " (rotavlrus straln Wa) will be labeled as " P1A [8] G1 ".Because these two determine that G types can be communicated separately with the gene of P type and produce offspring, so the different combination of two genes will produce various different virus strain.
Rotavirus all has distribution all over the world, and A, B, C group rotavirus can cause human and animal to suffer from diarrhoea, and D-G group only causes animal diarrhea.The serotype of A group Major Epidemic is G1P8, G2P4, G3P8 and G4P8, in all medical cases, account for more than 80%.Older children and adult, often in symptomless infection, claim virus carrier usually.No matter in flourishing or developing country, the diarrhoea that A group RV causes has higher sickness rate, is that infant falls ill and lethal Important cause of disease.In developing country, it is the second cause of disease being only second to respiratory tract infection that infant is lethal.Excrement-mouth is the main path that RV propagates, pollution of waterhead in addition, respiratory tract airborne transmission, and all can cause popular with the close contact in nursery schools and childcare centres in one's power kinsfolk in institute, somebody infers, animal may be the important contagium infecting RV as people.In the internal breeding of mucous membrane of small intestine villus cell after Virus entry human body, virus capsid protein VP4 is major virulent factor, and it causes cytolysis dead, microvillus atrophy, shortens, comes off; The hyperplasia of gland nest, secretion increasing, cause severe diarrhea, the forfeiture of water and eletrolytes.The latent period of virus only has one to two days, and then fever, watery diarrhea, vomiting dehydration suddenly, can recover completely with autoimmunization.But when the bad or existing dehydration of infant nutrition, if treat not in time, will infant death be caused.Because virus variation itself is comparatively large, specific aim vaccine is difficult to realize industrialization, and the World Health Organization (WHO) is recommended to put prevention first, and notices that infantile nutrition and sanitary condition reach the infection rate reducing virus.
The method that traditional detection RV infects depends on Electronic Speculum (EM) or immunologic assay, as Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (EL1SA) etc.In recent years along with the development of molecular genetics etc., establish more special and responsive detection method, as RNA nucleic acid hybridization, RT-PCR etc. are for detecting the method for nucleic acid.
Aptamer (Aptamer, also known as aptamers, aptamer) be can high-affinity, high specific the few nucleic acid molecule (ssDNA or ssRNA) of the strand in conjunction with certain biological target.Aptamer be by index concentration Fas lignand system evolution technology (Systematlc Evolutlon of Llgands by Exponentlal enrlchment, SELEX) screen from the DNA/RNA library of synthetic obtain can high degree of specificity in conjunction with the single stranded DNA/RNA of target molecules.Report that the target of aptamer comprises metal ion, organic molecule, polypeptide, protein, cell are even organized.The molecular recognition function of aptamer and antibody class are seemingly, there is the target recognition capability quite even stronger with antibody molecule, but there is much excellent characteristic compared with antibody, as molecular weight is little, can manufacture, not easy in inactivation, non-immunogenicity, easily synthesis and mark, between penetrate tissue, good dynamic metabolism, different batches, product can not there are differences and have fine chemical stability fast, has important application prospect in fields such as biological detection, medical diagnosis on disease treatments.
