Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of disinfection effect evaluation, and in particular to a method for evaluating the virus disinfection effect of virus aerosols. Background Art

[0002] In the disinfection effect evaluation technology system, the killing rate of indicator microorganisms is generally used to evaluate the disinfection effect. For example, in the "Disinfection Technical Specifications" (2002), Staphylococcus aureus is used as an indicator microorganism when evaluating the disinfection effect of air, and polio virus type I vaccine strain is used as an indicator microorganism when evaluating the disinfection effect of viruses; in the "Ultraviolet Disinfector Hygiene Requirements", artificial spray Staphylococcus aureus aerosol is used to evaluate the minimum effective dose of air disinfection of ultraviolet air disinfectors. It can be seen that in the existing disinfection effect evaluation system, bacteria are usually used as indicator microorganisms.

[0003] However, some disinfection methods have different effects on bacteria and viruses. For example, when ultraviolet rays are used for disinfection, viruses are significantly less sensitive to ultraviolet rays than bacteria. Using bacteria alone as indicator microorganisms is obviously not enough to indicate all pathogenic microorganisms in the air. Related technologies also propose to use real viruses in the laboratory to conduct evaluation experiments on the disinfection effect of viruses, but these methods are limited to the laboratory and face extremely high biosafety risks. In addition, the experimental steps of virus activity detection are many and the operation is complicated, which is not conducive to promotion and application.

[0004] Therefore, it is difficult to accurately, safely and easily evaluate the virus disinfection effect in the existing disinfection effect evaluation system. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the virus disinfection effect of virus aerosols to solve the problem that it is difficult to accurately, safely and simply evaluate the virus disinfection effect in the existing disinfection effect evaluation system.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the virus disinfection effect of virus aerosols, comprising the following steps: The pseudovirus aerosol generating liquid is used to generate pseudovirus aerosol in the experimental chamber, wherein the pseudovirus aerosol generating liquid contains pseudovirus, the pseudovirus has host cell infection ability and carries a fluorescent protein gene; Performing virus disinfection treatment on the pseudovirus aerosol, and collecting the aerosol after virus disinfection treatment to obtain a pseudovirus aerosol collection liquid; Using the pseudovirus aerosol collection solution to infect host cells, and detecting the number of host cells expressing fluorescent proteins after the infection is completed; Based on the number of host cells expressing the fluorescent protein, the virus killing rate of the virus disinfection treatment for viral aerosols is determined.

[0007] In the above-mentioned evaluation method for the virus disinfection effect of viral aerosols, biosafety risks are avoided by using pseudoviruses to simulate real viruses; through innovative pseudovirus activity detection methods, the complexity of experimental operations is greatly reduced, the detection time is shortened, and the sensitivity of detection is increased. It can be applied to scientific research and commercial air disinfection equipment (such as ultraviolet disinfection equipment) disinfection effect testing and evaluation.

[0008] Specifically, by adopting the above evaluation method, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention uses pseudoviruses to evaluate the disinfection effect of viral aerosols. After the virus infects the host cells, it only needs to be cultured for one day (24 hours) to be detected, which is 2-3 days shorter than similar technologies. (2) The pseudovirus used in the present invention carries a fluorescent protein gene. After the pseudovirus infects the host cell, the host cell can express the fluorescent protein. The cell count can be directly performed using a fluorescent cell counter. The traditional qPCR method for detecting the infectivity titer of the pseudovirus requires nucleic acid extraction, reverse transcription, and PCR amplification. Therefore, the present invention is simpler and faster in experimental operation; (3) The present invention uses pseudoviruses to simulate real viruses, avoiding high biosafety risks and having a wider range of application scenarios; (4) The present invention transforms the observation of infectious viruses into imaging of cells expressing fluorescence, making the detection results more realistic and intuitive; (5) The present invention completely simulates the situation in which real viruses form viral aerosols in the air, overcoming the technical difficulties of producing a large amount of infectious viral aerosols when using real viruses in related technologies and the low detection sensitivity of real active viruses, making it possible to directly use fake viruses to carry out evaluation experiments on the disinfection effect of viral aerosols.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the pseudovirus is obtained by packaging a pseudovirus vector into a cell plasmid, wherein the cell plasmid includes a fluorescent protein gene transfer plasmid, and the fluorescent protein gene is inserted into the fluorescent protein gene transfer plasmid; Optionally, the pseudovirus vector includes but is not limited to a lentivirus vector, an adenovirus vector and a VSV virus vector; Optionally, the cell plasmid further includes an envelope plasmid and / or a backbone plasmid.

Discard the supernatant and dissolve the precipitate with 1×PBS.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the preset infectivity titer is 5×10 5 IU / mL~5×10 8 IU / mL.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the infectivity titer of the pseudovirus aerosol generating liquid can be detected by the following method: Take the host cells, inoculate them into the cell culture plate according to the appropriate number of cells per well and culture medium volume, and place them in the cell culture incubator for culture; take the pseudovirus aerosol generator and dilute it in a gradient manner using the cell culture medium (dilution ratio: k); before infection, take the cells on the cell culture plate and count them to obtain the average number of cells per well before infection (m, unit: cells); take out the cells cultured overnight, discard all the cell culture medium, add the dilution of the virus aerosol generator for infection, and return to the cell culture incubator for culture for at least 24 hours; take out the infected cells, disperse the cells into single cells, and transfer them to a centrifuge tube; centrifuge the cells at an appropriate speed and time; discard the supernatant and resuspend the cells with PBS; use a fluorescent cell counter to count the cells expressing fluorescence to obtain the ratio of the number of cells expressing fluorescence to the total number of cells (infection ratio or transduction efficiency: f); according to the dilution ratio, calculate the infectious virus titer of the virus aerosol generator at this volume (t, unit: IU, IU: Infectous units):

[0017] The standard curve was prepared using the dilution gradient of the virus aerosol generating liquid and the corresponding virus titer to obtain the linear equation of the standard working curve (within the linear range). The infectious virus titer (T, unit: IU / mL) of the virus aerosol generating liquid per unit volume was then calculated based on the linear equation of the standard curve.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, when the pseudovirus aerosol generating liquid generates pseudovirus aerosol in the experimental chamber, the pseudovirus aerosol is generated under a preset pressure, temperature and humidity. Optionally, the pressure in the experimental chamber is controlled to be -1 Pa to -30 Pa, the temperature is 21°C to 29°C, and the humidity is 40% to 70%.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, determining the virus disinfecting rate of the virus disinfection treatment for virus aerosols based on the number of host cells expressing the fluorescent protein includes: Based on the number of host cells expressing fluorescent protein in the experimental group and the number of host cells expressing fluorescent protein in the control group, determining the virus killing rate of the virus disinfection treatment for the viral aerosol; Among them, the pseudovirus aerosol in the experimental group was disinfected before the pseudovirus aerosol collection fluid was collected, while the pseudovirus aerosol in the control group was not disinfected before the pseudovirus aerosol collection fluid was collected.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, after the infection is completed, the number of host cells expressing the fluorescent protein can be detected by the following method: Take out the pseudovirus aerosol collection solution, add it to the pre-cultured host cells, and infect for at least 24 hours; take out the cells and disperse them into single cells; transfer the cells to a centrifuge tube and centrifuge the cells at an appropriate speed and time; aspirate the supernatant, add PBS to resuspend the dispersed cells; take an appropriate amount of PBS-resuspended cell suspension and add it to the counting slot of the cell counting plate, and insert the cell counting plate into the cell counter; select the fluorescence imaging mode, perform fluorescence imaging on the sample to be tested, and the cell counter automatically identifies the fluorescence imaging photos and gives the number of cells expressing fluorescent protein in the image. The number of cells expressing fluorescent protein is positively correlated with the number of viruses with infectious activity. When the proportion of fluorescent cells to the total number of cells is less than 10%, the two numbers can be considered equal; count the number of active viruses detected in the experimental group (Nt, unit: individual) and the number of active viruses detected in the control group (Nc, unit: individual), and calculate the killing rate (K) of the relevant method or equipment for the virus aerosol:

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the virus disinfecting performance of an ultraviolet disinfection device based on pseudovirus aerosol, comprising the following steps: (1) Packaging and preparing pseudoviruses that can infect host cells and carry fluorescent protein genes, and concentrating the pseudoviruses to serve as pseudovirus aerosol generating liquid; (2) Conduct infectious titer testing on the pseudovirus aerosol generating fluid; (3) Add the pseudovirus aerosol generating liquid into the aerosol generator, hang it in the negative pressure aerosol test chamber, and arrange two ultraviolet air disinfection devices for the experimental group and the control group; (4) Pseudovirus aerosols occurred in the negative pressure aerosol test chamber; (5) Turn on the ultraviolet air disinfection equipment in the experimental group and start the floating bacteria sampler at the same time to obtain the pseudovirus aerosol collection liquid; (6) Use pseudovirus aerosol collection fluid to infect host cells, use a fluorescent cell counter to detect the number of infected host cells expressing fluorescent protein, and calculate the killing rate of virus aerosol by ultraviolet air disinfection equipment based on the data of the experimental group and the control group.

[0024] Optionally, the arrangement of the negative pressure aerosol test chamber in the above step (3) is as follows: Hang the aerosol generator on the upper part of the negative pressure aerosol experimental cabin, and insert the air compressor outlet pipe into the air inlet of the aerosol generator; place two identical ultraviolet air disinfection devices in the negative pressure aerosol experimental cabin, and the two devices are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the generator, and the air inlets of the two ultraviolet air disinfection devices are opposite to the air outlets of the aerosol generator; add the virus aerosol sampling liquid into the culture dish, and place the culture dish into the sampling head of the planktonic bacteria sampler; place two planktonic bacteria samplers with the same settings into the aerosol experimental cabin, and the sampling heads of the planktonic bacteria samplers are respectively connected to the air outlets of the two ultraviolet air disinfection devices, and sealed; close the aerosol experimental cabin door, turn on the control and monitoring equipment of the pressure, temperature and humidity in the cabin, and adjust the pressure, temperature and humidity parameters to reach the specified range.

[0025] Preferably, the aerosol generator in step (3) is a Collison bioaerosol generator, and the effect of generating aerosol is not affected by the bubbles generated by the aerosol generating liquid. The negative pressure aerosol test chamber has a volume of 1.5 to 20 m 3 The enclosed space is connected to the air compressor and the vacuum pump through pipes to control the internal air pressure, temperature and humidity. At the same time, pressure, temperature and humidity sensors are installed to monitor the internal air pressure, temperature and humidity parameters in real time through a computer.

[0026] Preferably, an ultraviolet lamp and a fan are installed inside the ultraviolet air disinfection equipment. Under the action of the fan, external air enters from one end of the box, passes through the ultraviolet lamp irradiation area inside the box, and then goes out through the opening at the other end, thereby completing the disinfection of the air.

[0027] Preferably, the air sampler is an impact-type planktonic bacteria sampler, and its working principle is as follows: the air inlet head has hundreds of air inlet holes with a diameter of 0.3 mm, which are arranged in a circle with a diameter not exceeding 10 cm. A culture dish containing air sampling liquid is placed under the air inlet holes. When the sampler is started, negative pressure is formed inside due to air extraction, and the external virus aerosol quickly enters the air inlet holes together with the air, and impacts the air sampling liquid, and the virus aerosol will be captured by the air sampling liquid.
