LOINC long common name : PRRSV Ingelvac MLV strain ORF5 gene [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA with probe
detection;
LOINC short name : PRRSV Ingel MLV ORF5 Ct Spec Qn NAA prb;
LOINC description : The Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSv) genome contains at
least eight opens reading frames (ORFs). ORF 5 contains about 600bp and is the least
conserved region of PRRSV. Samples taken from infected pigs, as well as virus isolates,
can be tested to determine the genetic sequence of the PRRSv. Examining the portion
of the RNA that is most likely to mutate helps in determining how closely linked one
PRRSv is to another, and can also be used to differentiate field strains from vaccine
strains. This assay targets the ORF5 gene for Ingelvac MLV like PRRSV strain. Sample
types for this test may include serum, fresh tissue, oral fluids or swabs, nasal swabs
and environmental specimens like feed or feed pre-mix.;
