Abstract: Abstract: Objective To develop a TaqManminor groove binder( MGB) probe-based，sensitive and specific realtime fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( qPCＲ) assay for rapid detection of Ectromelia virus ( ECTV) ． Method Primers and probes specific to HA( hemagglutinin) gene of Ectromelia virus were designed．Plasmid containing the sequence of HA gene was constructed as ECTV-DNA standard for quantitative analysis． A TaqMan MGB probeqPCＲ assay was developed． The sensitivity，specificity and stability of the assay were assessed．Then，the developed TaqMan MGB probe qPCＲ assay was applied to detect Ectromelia virus inclinical specimens．Ｒesult The developed TaqMan MGB probe qPCＲ assay was shown to be 100% specific to test a panel of fourteen organisms consisting of ECTV，other orthopoxvirus species，non-orthopoxvirus species，bacteria，fungi，parasites and cells． The technology was demonstrated to be highly sensitive，allowing a precise ECTV DNA quantitation over a range of ten orders of magnitude ( from 100 to 109 copies of standard DNA) ，and the limit of detection ( LOD) of the assay was determined to be 4 copies of target DNA． The reproducibility of this method was excellent as the Coefficient of Variation ( CV) for each point was less than 3%． Measurements of linearity such as Correlation coefficient ( Ｒ2 ) ，slope ( S) and efficiency ( Eff%) did not vary significantly among the test suggesting good accuracy and precision． The TaqMan MGB probe qPCＲ assay was successfully applied to quantifiable detection of viral genomic load in clinical specimens，and confirmed by using conventional PCＲ and sequence analysis． The assay described in this report generates complete result in 2 h and can be used as a fast diagnostic method．Conclusion This newly developed TaqMan MGB probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCＲ method，has the characteristics of quick and easy，strong specificity and high sensitivity，suitable for Ectromelia virus detection in animal origin products，food and drug safety inspection，environmental monitoring and epidemiology investigation． It provides a specific and effective evaluation tool for rapid and quantitative detection of Ectromelia virus in clinical specimens，is worthy of popularization and application．
