Light Cycler System

for Swine Influenza Virus Detection

Influenza A is a negative strand single-stranded RNA virus


from the Orthomyvirus family which infects birds and
mammals. It is characterized using the Hemagglutinin (HA)
and Neuraminidase (NA) genes. In April 2009, a new H1N1
virus was reported in Mexico. This H1N1 influenza virus has
a NA gene similar to H5N1, but a very specific HA gene
which can be used for its identification. RT-PCR detection of
influenza A is based on the conserved matrix protein 2 gene
(M2). The respective subtype identification is based on
detection of the hemagglutinin HA1 gene. A network of
virologist has selected and verified two primer/hydrolysis
probe mixes to detect the viral RNA genes of influenza using
actual H1N1 clinical samples.
The recommended procedure for testing for the new
Influenza pandemic (H1N1) 2009 is the detection of the M2
gene for Influenza A in combination with an extraction
control from human nucleic acid. Positive samples are then
tested targeting specific H1 gene, or parallel testing of both
targets is performed.
The primer/probe set for detection of Influenza A
Hemagglutinin HA1 (Panning et al., 2009, submitted) has
