Product information
The Bovine Virus Diarrhea RNA Test Kit (VetMAX-Gold BVDV Detection
Kit, PN 4413938) is intended for use in the rapid, in vitro detection of
bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV) RNA extracted from ear notch samples in acute and persistently infected cattle.
BVDV is an approximately 12-kb single-stranded, positive RNA enveloped virus in the genus Pestivirus of the Flaviviridae family. Based on
antigenic and genomic sequence variation, BVDV is divided into two
subtypes: 1 and 2. BVDV infection in cattle is a worldwide problem that
results in significant economic losses in the dairy and beef industries.
It can cause respiratory disease, enteritis, still-birth, abortion, and
mucosal disease. In utero BVDV infection can induce immunotolerance,
causing animals to be persistently infected (PI) for life. PI animals continuously shed the virus and are the main source of BVDV infection in
herds. Rapid detection of PI cattle is essential for BVDV control.
The assay is a single-tube, real-time, reverse transcription-polymerase
chain reaction (RT-PCR) in which RNA is reverse transcribed into cDNA,
and BVDV RNA and Xeno RNA Control targets are amplified and
detected in real time using fluorescent TaqMan probes (hydrolysis
probe chemistry). BVDV Control RNA and Xeno RNA Control are provided to serve as positive controls for the RT-PCR reaction components.
Xeno RNA Control also serves as an internal positive control for the
RNA purification process. The 25 BVDV Primer Probe Mix provided is
optimized for multiplex real-time RT-PCR amplification of both Xeno
RNA Control and BVDV RNA targets.

Cal Fluor Orange 560 dye has an absorbance maximum of 538 nm and an
emission maximum of 559 nm. When using an Applied Biosystems Real-Time
PCR System, calibrate with Cal Fluor Orange 560 dye. If that is not possible,
use the VIC dye detector.
b. Thaw all reagents on ice, gently vortex each tube to mix the
contents thoroughly, then briefly centrifuge to collect the solution at the bottom of the tube. Keep reagents on ice.

If BVDV CT 38:
1. Dilute the original diagnostic sample 1:4.
3. Determine the number of samples with BVDV CT < 40. The standard deviation
of the triplicates should be 1 CT.
0 of 3: BVDV negative.
1 of 3: Presumptive positive; confirm with secondary test method.
2 of 3: BVDV positive.
Troubleshooting
Observation
Possible cause
Use appropriate precautions against RNase contamination when handling the control
RNAs. For example, wear clean gloves and use nuclease-free barrier pipette tips.
PCR contamination.
Repeat the RT-PCR with fresh reagents and freshly decontaminated pipettors.
Set up the RT-PCR in an area separate from areas used for RNA isolation and PCR
product analysis.
No or low signal from Xeno RNA Control is expected in a reaction that has a strong
signal for BVDV RNA.

Safety information
Obtaining SDSs
Wear clean gloves and a clean lab coat (not previously worn while
handling amplified PCR/RT-PCR products or used during sample
preparation).
Change gloves whenever you suspect that they are contaminated.
Maintain separate areas and dedicated equipment and supplies for:
Sample preparation and PCR/RT-PCR setup
PCR amplification and analysis of PCR/RT-PCR products
Never bring amplified PCR/RT-PCR products into the PCR/RT-PCR
setup area.
Open and close all sample tubes carefully. Centrifuge tubes before
opening. Try not to splash or spray PCR/RT-PCR samples.
Note:For the SDSs of chemicals not distributed by Applied Biosystems or Ambion, contact the chemical manufacturer.
