Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to an HPV virus detection kit. Background Art
[0002] Human papillomavirus (HμMan Papillomavirus, HPV) belongs to the genus Papillomavirus A of the family Papovaviridae. It can cause a variety of benign papillomas or warts in human skin and mucous membrane tissues, lead to abnormal tissue proliferation, and infection with certain subtypes is potentially carcinogenic. Molecular epidemiological studies have shown that persistent HPV infection is a necessary condition for causing cervical cancer and oropharyngeal cancer. Currently, more than 200 papillomavirus subtypes have been isolated and sequenced, of which 15 are considered carcinogenic or high-risk. Most oropharyngeal and cervical cancer patients are caused by HPV16 or HPV18 subtypes.
[0003] Globally, cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer and the fourth most common malignant tumor in terms of morbidity and mortality. In 2018, there were an estimated 570,000 cases of cervical cancer and 311,000 deaths worldwide. In addition, cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in 42 countries. However, the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer have declined significantly over the past 80 years, mainly due to effective screening and treatment of precancerous lesions, which also highlights the importance of more widespread adoption of effective screening methods. The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) caused by HPV is steadily increasing and recently surpassed cervical cancer to become the most common HPV-related cancer in the United States, of which HPV16 subtype accounts for approximately 87% of oropharyngeal cancers. Due to the importance of HPV in the pathogenesis of these cancers, increasing HPV The accuracy of the test is critical for effectively screening people at risk for cancer, rapidly diagnosing cancer, and monitoring patients receiving active treatment. A variety of HPV detection methods have been developed, including nucleic acid hybridization assays, signal amplification assays, nucleic acid amplification-based assays, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. For patients with newly diagnosed oropharyngeal cancer, p16 expression is detected by immunohistochemistry as a surrogate marker of HPV infection. However, these methods require a lot of resources, including testing costs, sophisticated equipment, trained personnel, and specialized reagents, which may be difficult to expand for a wider range of HPV testing, including screening and monitoring treatment response. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a robust technology that can rapidly and highly specifically amplify DNA. LAMP technology relies on specific primers and Bst DNA polymerase large fragment, a DNA polymerase that can self-circulate and displace chains. The workflow of LAMP technology is suitable for clinical settings and can quickly, easily, and economically detect HPV DNA, especially the two most common high-risk subtypes HPV16.
[0004] Currently, HPV detection methods mainly include: cytology, immunology, molecular biology, and PCR technology. These methods require a thermal cycler, are complex to operate, and are expensive, making them unsuitable for primary care. Hybridization capture technology, however, often requires expensive instruments, complex procedures, and long detection times, limiting their application in primary care settings and resource-limited areas. Furthermore, some existing rapid detection methods lack sensitivity, specificity, or stability, making them difficult to meet clinical needs. Therefore, developing an HPV virus detection kit that is simple to operate, rapid, accurate, and suitable for on-site testing is of great significance.
[0005] The prior art CN103898241B discloses a kit for detecting HPV, which is mainly based on NASBA technology (relying on RNA reverse transcriptase, RNA polymerase, etc.) and chip capillary electrophoresis, and requires complex instruments to analyze the electrophoresis results. The experimental results are not analyzed visually and the samples are extracted after lysis. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of HPV detection requiring expensive instruments, complex operating procedures and long detection time, which limit its application in primary medical institutions and resource-limited areas, the present application provides an HPV virus detection kit, which achieves low-cost, rapid, portable and highly sensitive detection through the following technological innovations. Through constant temperature amplification, visual detection and integrated design, it solves the high requirements of traditional HPV detection on equipment, operation and time, making the popularization of HPV screening in primary medical institutions possible. As a tool for early detection, monitoring treatment response and evaluating cancer recurrence, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a simple and powerful technology that can detect and amplify DNA using Bst chain displacement DNA polymerase in a single test tube.

Sample processing is simple and only requires lysis before being directly added to the reaction system, reducing the number of operating steps and improving detection throughput.
[0030] (3) Low cost and easy to promote: freeze-drying technology (trehalose-sorbitol composite protective agent) is used to stabilize the enzyme and primers, extend the shelf life, reduce transportation and storage costs, and the integrated design of the test kit reduces the use of consumables. The overall cost is only 1 / 3 of the traditional PCR test, which is suitable for promotion in resource-limited areas.
[0031] (4) MOPS buffer microspheres dynamically regulate pH to avoid false positives / false negatives and improve detection accuracy.
[0032] (5) Strong stability and adaptability to different environments: The composite protective agent (trehalose-sorbitol) in the freeze-dried tube can maintain enzyme activity for a long time. The kit can be stably stored at 4-25°C for more than 6 months. The lysis solution (containing Triton X-100 and Tween 20) can effectively release viral DNA, reduce sample processing errors, and amplify through the extraction-free DNA lysis method, which greatly shortens the extraction time and reduces complex operations.

The MOPS buffer microspheres in the liquid reaction tube can maintain the reaction environment when the pH changes, ensuring the accuracy and stability of neutral red color development. The results can be visually judged by color changes (orange-yellow is negative, red is positive). During the test, the sample is mixed and heated with the lysate, and then added to the reaction system and kept at a constant temperature of 60°C for 30 minutes. No equipment such as a thermal cycler is required. It is low cost and highly portable. After performance verification, the kit has a sensitivity of 10 copies / μL and high specificity, which is consistent with the commercial HPV qPCR kit. It can be stably stored for more than 6 months at 4-25°C and is suitable for oral epithelial cells. It is of great significance to promote the popularization and application of HPV screening in primary medical institutions.
