Abstract

A method was developed for detecting bovine leukemia virus (BLV) RNA in serum samples using a pair of primers from the BLV polymerase gene in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR was able to detect 3800–7600 molecules of BLV RNA. At this level of sensitivity eleven pools of adult and one fetal bovine serum appeared free from BLV contamination.
