2.5. Selection of PCR primers and TaqMan probe for CMNV
A pair of RT-PCR primers and a TaqMan probe (Table. 1) were designed
from the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of
CMNV from which 130-bp amplicon (981-1110 in GenBank
KM112247.1) was obtained. The CMNV probe was synthesized and labeled
with 5-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) dye at the 5′ end and
carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) at the 3′ end (5′ FAM/3′
TAMRA).
