Fig. 1 <strong>Detection</strong> <strong>of</strong> M. bovis from tissue <strong>of</strong> different lung lobes and fluid samples <strong>of</strong><br />

an experimentally infected calf using the nested oppD/F assay. For DNA extraction,<br />

the High Pure <strong>PCR</strong> Template Preparation Kit was used. The eluted DNA fraction was<br />

processed as described in Subheading 3.1.3.2., steps 15–19. Lane 1, accessory lobe;<br />

lane 2, left diaphragmatic lobe; lane 3, right diaphragmatic lobe; lane 4, right apical<br />

cranial lobe; lane 5, left apical cranial lobe; lane 6, endo/pericardium; lane 7, cerebrospinal<br />

fluid; lane 8, left carpal joint fluid; lane 9, right carpal joint fluid; lane 10,<br />

left tarsal joint fluid; lane 11, right tarsal joint fluid; lane 12, reagent control; lane 13,<br />

reference strain PG 45 <strong>of</strong> M. bovis; lane 14, DNA marker, 100-bp ladder.<br />

3.2.5. <strong>Detection</strong> <strong>of</strong> M. mycoides subsp. mycoides SC ( MmmSC)<br />

The following nested <strong>PCR</strong> is particularly suitable for the detection <strong>of</strong><br />

MmmSC from bronchial lavage fluid samples prepared as described under Subheading<br />

3.1.2. The first amplification reaction is done using 5 µL <strong>of</strong> DNA<br />

extract and primer pair SC3NEST1-L/SC3NEST1-R with 35 cycles <strong>of</strong> 94°C<br />

for 30 s, 52°C for 30 s, 72°C for 30 s. The resulting fragment is 716 bp long.<br />

The second round uses 1 µL <strong>of</strong> the product <strong>of</strong> the first reaction as a template<br />

and primer pair SC3VII/SC3IV-S in 35 cycles with the same temperature–time<br />

program. For species identification from culture, a single-step amplification<br />

with either <strong>of</strong> the two primer pairs is sufficient. Important general advice is<br />

given in Note 7.<br />

3.2.6. <strong>Detection</strong> <strong>of</strong> M. mycoides subsp. mycoides LC ( MmmLC)<br />

and M. mycoides subsp. capri<br />

A detection system for these caprine mycoplasmas was developed on the<br />

basis <strong>of</strong> their lppA genes, which encode a 62-kDa surface lipoprotein (20).
