Abstract Objective To establish a molecular biology method for detecting sequences of unknown viruses.methods The hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses were used as hypothetically unrecognized DNA RNA viruses respectively to test the efficacy of this random PCR2 based method. Virus2containing serum was first filtered through a m disk filter followed by DNase I treatment to eliminate the host genomic DNA. After the 26mer 5end anchored random primer was annealed to the extracted nucleic acids either by Klenow polymerase extension (DNA as template) or by reverse transcription ( RNA as template) the virus genomes were randomly amplified with the 20mer anchor primer. Purified PCR products were cloned sequenced and subjected to BLAST search for further analysis. Results HBV and HCV genomes were amplified by random PCR and their fragments could be detected in the picked clones. The detective rate was about 15 % at copies/ ml viral load. Positive clones could still be obtained with as few as copies/ ml viral load. Conclusion This culture2 independent random PCR2based method can be used to investigate unknown viruses and will be useful for the early diagnosis of emerging infectious disease.
