Members of the family Picornaviridae are the most
common viruses infecting humans, and species in several genera also
infect a wide variety of other mammals. Picornaviruses have
traditionally been classified by antigenic type, based on a serum
neutralization assay. However, this method is time-consuming and
labor-intensive, is sensitive to virus aggregation and antigenic
variation, and requires a large number of antisera to identify all
serotypes, even when antiserum pools are used. We developed generic
reverse transcription (RT)-PCR primers that will amplify all human
enterovirus serotypes, as well as many rhinoviruses and other
picornaviruses, and used RT-PCR amplification of the VP1 gene and
amplicon sequencing to identify enteroviruses that were refractory to
typing by neutralization with pooled antisera. Enterovirus serotypes
determined by sequencing were confirmed by neutralization with
monospecific antisera. Of 55 isolates tested, 49 were of known
enterovirus serotypes, two were rhinoviruses, and four were clearly
picornaviruses but did not match any known picornavirus sequence. All
four untyped picornaviruses were closely related to one another in
sequence, suggesting that they are of the same serotype. RT-PCR,
coupled with amplicon sequencing, is a simple and rapid method for the
typing and classification of picornaviruses and may lead to the
identification of many new picornavirus serotypes.
