Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of plant virus detection, and in particular relates to a primer and probe combination, a kit, a detection method and an application thereof for detecting chrysanthemum B virus. Background Art

[0002] Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) is an important economic crop in my country. Viral diseases caused by Chrysanthemum virus B (CVB) are a common type of viral disease in chrysanthemum production, seriously affecting the yield and quality of chrysanthemum.

[0003] At present, the detection technology of CVB has problems such as insufficient sensitivity and complex operation. Although traditional detection technologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its derivative technologies (such as RT-PCR) are widely used, they rely on thermal cyclers for temperature control (such as 94°C denaturation, 72°C extension, etc.), require complex equipment and are time-consuming (usually 1.5-2 hours). Although the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology has gotten rid of the limitations of thermal cyclers and can complete amplification at a constant temperature (40-60°C), its reaction time still takes about 1 hour, and false positives are easily caused by aerosol contamination during the amplification process. The primer design is complex (4-6 specific primers are required), and it is highly dependent on the target sequence, making it difficult to adapt to rapid viral mutations or complex infection scenarios. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) relies on the labeling and binding of virus-specific antibodies. Although it has been commercialized, the cost of antibody development is high, and it cannot detect virus-like viruses without capsid proteins. The sensitivity is insufficient (usually the detection limit is 10 -2 ~10 -3 μg / mL), which is easily interfered by impurities in the sample and leads to nonspecific color development, making it difficult to meet the needs of early field diagnosis.

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] 1. Materials and Methods

[0039] 1.1 Materials

[0040] The experimental materials included chrysanthemum leaves infected with Chrysanthemum virus B (CVB), Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd), Chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid (CChMVd), and Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), as well as leaves from virus-free chrysanthemum tissue-cultured test tube plantlets. All materials were provided by the inventor's laboratory.

[0041] The rapid universal plant RNA extraction kit was purchased from Beijing Huayueyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; the RNA constant temperature rapid amplification kit (nfo enzyme type) was purchased from Changzhou Anpu Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; the nucleic acid detection test strips were purchased from Changzhou Anpu Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; and the reverse transcription kit (Evo M-MLVPlus cDNA synthesis kit) was purchased from Aikerui Bioengineering Co., Ltd.

[0042] 1.2 Methods

[0043] 1.2.1 Preparation of total RNA samples

[0044] RNA was extracted from the samples using the Beijing Huayueyang Rapid Universal Plant RNA Extraction Kit according to the kit instructions. The extracted RNA was stored at -80°C until use.

[0045] 1.2.2 Design of primers and probes

[0046] The CVB capsid protein sequence of the sample was amplified and TA cloned. The positive clones were then sent to Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for sequencing. The sequencing results were compared, and primers and probes were designed in the conserved regions. According to the RT-RPA primer design principles, sequence analysis was performed using software such as SnapGene, SeqHunter2, and MEGA-X.

The corresponding sequences are shown in Table 1 (where 5'FAM is the full name of 5'carboxyfluorescein, C3 spacer is a modification group, and 5'-Biotin refers to the addition of a biotin label at the 5' end). Primers and probes were synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0047] Table 1 Primers used in the present invention

[0048]

[0049] 1.2.3 Establishment and Optimization of RT-RPA-LFD Detection System

[0050] Using RNA from CVB-infected (+) samples, virus-free vaccine RNA (-), and sterile ultrapure water (-) as templates, the RT-RPA-nfo (test strip) kit and modified preferred primers and probes were used to optimize the reaction system. Six reaction time gradients (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min) and three reaction temperature gradients (37, 42, and 45°C) were set. Based on the test results, the optimal reaction time and temperature were screened to establish the RT-RPA-LFD detection system.

[0051] RT-RPA-nfo (test strip type) amplification reaction system (total volume 50 μL): Add 29.5 μL of Abuffer, 1 μL of modified upstream and downstream primers (10 μmol·L-1), 0.3 μL of probe (10 μmol·L-1), 1 μL of nucleic acid (197 μg / mL), and 2.0 μL of B buffer to the reaction tube in sequence; directly aspirate 10 μL of the liquid after the reaction is completed, add 190 μL of deionized water to dilute and mix, then dispense 70 μL of the diluted amplification product into the sample well of the nucleic acid detection test strip. Record the control line and test line within 5 minutes to determine the test result.

[0052] Method for interpreting nucleic acid test paper results:

[0053] Positive (+): A blue band appears on the control line (C line) of the test strip; a red band appears on the test line (T line);

[0054] Negative (-): A blue band appears on the control line (C line) of the test strip, and there is no band on the test line (T line);

[0055] Invalid: No bands appear on either the control line (C line) or the test line (T line) of the test strip.

[0056] 1.2.4 RT-RPA-LFD sensitivity test

[0057] The total RNA nucleic acid concentration of chrysanthemum samples containing CVB was adjusted to 100 ng / μL, and then the solution was diluted in a 10-fold gradient, and 6 10 -0 , 10 -1 , 10 -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 The sensitivity of the established method was determined using the total RNA of positive chrysanthemum diluted in a gradient as a template, and water was set as a template as a negative control. RT-PCR and RT-RPA-LFD were used in parallel to compare the sensitivity of different methods.

[0058] 1.2.5 RT-RPA-LFD specificity test

[0059] RNA from samples containing CVB served as a positive control, and RNA from virus-free seedlings served as a negative control. The optimized RT-RPA-LFD method was used for both RT-RPA-LFD and RT-RPA electrophoresis detection, using RNA extracted from samples containing CSVd, TMV, and CChMV as templates. The specificity of the RT-RPA-LFD assay was determined based on the results.

[0060] 2. Results and Analysis

[0061] 2.1 Establishment and optimization of the RT-RPA-LFD detection system

[0062] 2.1.1 Design of primers and probes

[0063] The sequencing results showed that the amplified gene size was 945 bp. Subsequently, the measured sequences were compared and analyzed, and the results were as follows ( Figure 1 ), conserved regions were selected to design RT-RPA-LFD primers and probes.

[0064] 2.1.1 Reaction system optimization

[0065] The test results showed that the results can be obtained after 5 minutes of RT-RPA amplification. As the amplification time increases, the red color of the strip in the test area gradually deepens. However, when the gene amplification lasts for more than 10 minutes, the negative control will produce a false positive ( Figure 2 ), so the ideal time for gene amplification during detection is 3 to 5 minutes.

[0066] The temperature screening results showed that when the amplification was performed at several gradient temperatures from 37°C to 45°C for 5 minutes, false positives were found at both 37°C and 45°C ( Figure 3 Therefore, the recommended temperature for the kit is 42°C.

[0067] 2.2 Evaluation of the RT-RPA-LFD detection system

[0068] 2.2.1 Sensitivity test

[0069] After the concentration of total RNA nucleic acid and cDNA nucleic acid of CVB sample was adjusted to 100ng / μL, it was diluted in 10-fold gradient. The original solution and the dilution were tested by different methods. The test results showed that when the original solution was diluted to 10 -1 When the stock solution was diluted to 10 -4 When RT-PCR did not detect CVB, the RT-RPA-LFD detection area still showed a red band, indicating that CVB was detected ( Figure 4-5 The results showed that the detection sensitivity of RT-RPA-LFD was 1000 times that of RT-PCR.

[0070] 2.2.2 Specificity detection

[0071] The test results showed that RT-RPA-LFD detection showed that samples infected with CVB were positive, while the rest of the samples were negative. This shows that the established RT-RPA-LFD detection method is specific for CVB detection and has no cross-reaction with Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd), Chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid (CChMVd) and Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), showing strong specificity for CVB.
