Differentiation of Cucumber mosaic virus isolates by hybridization to oligonucleotides in a microarray format
A system for microarrays was developed to detect and differentiate Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) serogroups and subgroups.

Summary: | A system for microarrays was developed to detect and differentiate Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) serogroups and subgroups. The coat protein genes of 14 different isolates were amplified using cy3-labelled generic but species–specific primers. These amplicons were hybridized against a set of five different serotype and subgroup specific 24-mer oligonucleotides bound to an aldehyde-coated glass slide via an aminolinker. The results of the hybridization revealed that the method allowed a clear differentiation of the 14 different CMV isolates into the serogroupes 1 and 2, and in addition was able to assign 9 out of 10 different serogroup 1 isolates correctly into subgroups 1a and 1b. This differentiation was not possible by RFLP analysis with the restriction enzyme MspI. The use of amplicons larger than 700 base pairs and their successful differentiation by hybridization to specific oligonucleotides opens avenues to highly parallel, yet sensitive assays for plant viruses. |
