Abstract In order to develop a detection method for diagnosing Brucella in velvet antler and deer blood rapidly, and to ensure the safety of related deer products used for food and medicine, primers and probes were designed and synthesized on the base of the specific gene IS711 of Brucella. A realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR method was established. The reaction conditions were optimized and a standard kinetic curve, Y=-3.14X+37.62,R2=0.997,was drawn. The method has good reproducibility, sensitivity and specificity. The standard deviation of Ct value for intragroup and intergroup reproducibility tests is less than 0.5, the variation coefficients are all less than 2%, and the minimum detectable copy number is 2.65×101Copies/μL, with good specificity for Brucella abortus IS711 gene. The results showed that the method is sensitive to target gene detection and can be used for the detection of fresh velvet antler, deer blood and other related samples. The method can also be used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of Brucella, providing an important technical guarantee for the quality and safety assessment of related deer products.
