Abstract
This SOP describes the procedure for generating cDNA from RSV viral nucleic acid extracts and subsequently producing amplicons tiling the viral genome using. We propose two systems for genomic characterization of RSV. First, a novel RSV amplicon-based system for WGS, and second, a method focused on obtaining the specific sequences of the main antigens, G and F.
dsCDNA generation:
dsCDNA generation:
During this step three master mixes will be prepared: MMI, MMII and MMIII.
Materials: Kit Superscript III First Strand (Invitrogen)
100% DMSO
RNAseH (Invitrogen)
Klenow fragment 3' ->5' exo (New England Biolabs)
Primer FR26RV-N : 5’GCC GGA GCT CTG CAG ATA TCNNNNNN 3’
Note
This step must be performed in a RNase free, pre-PCR environment in which post PCR RSV amplicons are not present, to minimise risk of sample contamination.

RSVAB GF protocol starting from ds cDNA
Due to the significance of achieving accurate RSV genomic characterization, it was
developed the RSVAB-GF PCR to complement the genomic coverage of both antigenic
major proteins in cases where WGS encounters difficulties, and to provide a
simpler and more cost-effective method of obtaining the sequences of both
antigens.
