Simultaneous rapid culture for four respiratory viruses in the same cell monolayer using a differential multicolored fluorescent confirmatory stain

Abstract: A simultaneous rapid culture for influenza virus types A and B, parainfluenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus was developed in a 96-well plate format with a culture-confirmatory stain using multiple fluorescent tags. Performance characteristics were comparable to those of standard and/or single rapid-culture methods as shown by parallel testing of 590 fresh clinical specimens and retrospective testing of 190 previously positive frozen specimens. The quadruple culture required less specimen volume than s… Show more

“…The use of monoclonal antibody pools for presumptive identification of viral infections greatly simplifies the SV assay (9,13,14). Theoretically, this technique could be improved by using monoclonal antiserum pools labelled with different fluorochromes which would allow final viral identification in a single step (2,11). These reagents are not easily available, and the need for a fluorescence microscope versatile enough to detect all the fluorochromes makes this approach difficult (11).…”

“…Of the symptoms listed above, the combinations of findings including fever, cough, sore throat and nasal congestion can improve diagnostic accuracy [35]. [36,37]. Other methods are indirect where the clinical samples may be inoculated in cell cultures, eggs, or animals for growth of the virus and its further typing.…”

“…The test with the enterovirusspecific MAb scored negative for echovirus types 22, 23, and 25 and some strains of echovirus 1 and 3. Fifteen clinical adenovirus isolates that belonged to types 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,15,17,19,20, and 21 and that had been stored at Ϫ70°C were examined and tested positive by both techniques (data not shown).…”

“…Of the more recently developed methods, the use of nucleic acid amplification techniques for the direct detection of enteroviruses and adenoviruses in clinical specimens is available only in laboratories highly specialized for the diagnosis of viral infections (7). On the other hand, rapid techniques with short-term culture and immunofluorescence for the detection of, for example, respiratory viruses in clinical specimens are widely used (2,6,11,12,15). Application of this approach for the examination of fecal specimens for adenoviruses and enteroviruses has been reported less often (17,19,20).…”
