Problems solved by technology

[0005] Nucleic acid detection can detect patients in the window period and detect infected persons early. It is the "gold standard" for the detection of new coronaviruses, but it has high requirements for detection equipment or platforms. The cleanliness and operator requirements are also high
In addition, nucleic acid detection takes a long time. Considering the situation of sample transportation and sample backlog, the results are usually reported within 24 hours at the fastest

Embodiment 1

[0041] Example 1: Construction of N protein expression strain E.coli BL21-N

[0042] 1. Design of N protein coding gene

[0043] In this study, the gene and protein homology analysis of the key gene N protein coding gene of the new coronavirus (NCBI number YP_009724397.2) and 6 other respiratory infection viruses including SARS and MERS, including SARS and MERS, and influenza virus were carried out. The N protein of the new coronavirus has 91.2% homology with SARS N protein, 47.6% homology with MERS N protein, and 8.8%-33.5% homology with other virus N proteins. We cut out the homologous sequence of the N protein gene of the new coronavirus and other viruses, especially those that do not cause disease, or only cause mild colds, and take the N protein coding gene of the new coronavirus spliced ​​in multiple segments of specific sequences, and the optimized new coronavirus N Proteins increase the specificity of antibody responses.

Embodiment 2

[0051] Embodiment 2: N protein expression and purification

[0052] 1. Activation and cultivation of strain E.coli BL21-N

[0053] Pick three single bacterium colonies of E.coli BL21-N obtained in Example 1, add respectively to 30mL shake flasks equipped with 5mL LB liquid medium, add kanamycin according to the concentration of 50mg / L, place in a shaker, Cultivate at 180 rpm at 37°C for 10 hours; then, add 1% inoculum into a 500mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 300mL LB liquid medium, and add kanamycin at a concentration of 50mg / L, and culture at 180rpm at 37°C in a shaker.

[0054] 2. Induced expression and identification of N protein

[0055] E.coli BL21-N cultured to OD 600 When it is 0.6-0.8, add 1mM IPTG to induce, after 6 hours of induction, collect the fermentation broth, detect whether the N protein is expressed; and ultrasonically disrupt the bacterial cells to determine the expression form of the N protein, the results are as follows figure 2 shown.

Embodiment 3

[0062] Example 3: Purified N protein is used for antibody detection of novel coronavirus pneumonia

[0063] 1. Detect the serum of patients with new coronavirus and do sensitivity analysis

[0064] The truncated N protein collected in Example 2 was diluted, and 0.2 μg / mL truncated N protein and full-length N protein were used to coat the microtiter plate respectively, and the serum of the new crown patient was detected by indirect ELISA.

[0065] The specific operation steps are: 10-fold dilution of the serum sample with phosphate buffer solution containing 0.05% Tween 20, adding 100 microliters of the sample, reacting in the dark at 37°C for 30 minutes, and washing 5 times with phosphate buffer solution containing 0.05% Tween 20 , 30 seconds each time, add 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase-labeled mouse anti-human IgG diluted 5000 times with phosphate buffer containing 0.05% Tween 20, and react in the dark at 37°C for 30 minutes, then wash with 0.05% Tween 20 Wash 5 times wit...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of immunology, and particularly relates to a recombinant antigen used for detection of novel coronavirus COVID-19 and preparation and application thereof.The recombinant antigen used for detection of COVID-19 is particularly truncated N protein, and the amino acid sequence thereof is as shown by a sequence table SEQ ID NO.1. The recombinant N protein used for detection of COVID-19 provided by the invention provides a new option for serologic detection of COVID-19, and using the truncated N protein as shown by SEQ ID NO.1 to detect COVID-19 has theadvantages that sensitivity is high, specificity is high, the false positive rate is significantly reduced and the like, wherein the sensitivity is about 60%-100% higher than that of full-length N protein, and the specificity reaches 98 .57%; and the N protein has wide application prospects.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of immunization, and in particular relates to an N protein for detection of novel coronavirus COVID-19 and its preparation and application. Background technique: [0002] 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19, or Corona Virus Disease 2019), was tentatively named "2019-nCoV" by the World Health Organization on January 12, 2020 due to the discovery of viral pneumonia cases in 2019. On February 11, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus officially named the disease caused by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV): 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19, or Corona Virus Disease 2019). The pathogenic microorganism is a new type of coronavirus. According to the monitoring of influenza and related diseases, many cases of viral pneumonia were found, all of which were diagnosed as viral pneumonia / lung infection. There is a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission of the new type of pneumonia. The National Health ...
