“…For nested-PCR, DNA extraction from the buffy coat of the blood samples was performed using a QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Netherlands) and the HTLV virus DNA was detected with an in-house nested-PCR following the protocols described elsewhere,25,26 using MT-2 cells infected with HTLV-1 as a positive control. Briefly, two sets of primers for the tax/rex gene were used: for the first PCR reaction the primers fw 5ʹ-CGGATACCCAGTCTACGTGT-3ʹ and rv 5ʹ-GAGCCGATAACGCGTCCATC-3ʹ and for the nested-PCR reaction primers fw 5ʹ-GTGTTTGGCGATTGTGTACA-3ʹ and rv 5ʹ-CCATCGATGGGGTCCCA-3ʹ.…”

“…In cases where Western blot proves inconclusive, molecular approaches should be used 8,13,14 which show, especially when PCR is used, a higher degree of specificity. 15 Real-time PCR allows the detection and quantification of target sequences by continuously measuring the fluctuations in fluorescence during reaction amplification. This is carried out in a closed system, thereby diminishing the risk of contamination and eliminating the gel phase of standard PCR.…”
