Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reagent kit technology, specifically to an equivalent reagent kit for the fluorescent PCR detection of peanut allergen components. Background Technology
[0002] Peanuts, belonging to the legume family, are rich in nutrients and have a relatively balanced amino acid content. Reports indicate that peanuts contain 45-53% oil and 24-29% protein. In recent years, allergic diseases have received widespread attention, and peanuts are one of the eight major food allergens listed in a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. They are a significant food allergen, very common in food allergies, accounting for 10%-47% of all food allergy cases. Moreover, peanut allergies are characterized by severe clinical symptoms; even ingesting trace amounts of peanut allergens can trigger strong allergic reactions, making them a major concern in public health and food safety. Furthermore, due to the prevalence and complexity of cross-allergies, peanut allergies exhibit significant cross-reactions with other types of allergies, increasing the probability of developing a peanut allergy. Additionally, peanut allergies do not develop immune tolerance with age, and if left untreated, they can easily lead to other serious diseases.
[0003] Currently, methods for detecting food allergens include antigen detection, nucleic acid detection, and immunological detection. Among these, fluorescent PCR detection has become the main method for food testing due to its advantages such as high sensitivity and good specificity. However, existing fluorescent PCR detection kits for peanut allergen components suffer from low detection accuracy and poor stability.
[0004] Therefore, an equivalent kit for the fluorescent PCR detection of peanut allergen components is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides an equivalent kit for fluorescent PCR detection of peanut allergen components, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention addresses the false-negative risk problem in traditional detection methods by establishing a dual-target synchronous detection system for peanut allergen detection in food samples. This system combines a peanut-specific gene and a universal eukaryotic internal reference gene for detection, and employs a specially designed chimeric recombinant plasmid as a multifunctional positive control. The system constructs a triple quality control barrier, enabling real-time monitoring of sample DNA extraction quality, reaction inhibitor interference, and amplification system effectiveness. When handling complex food matrices, the mandatory target achievement mechanism of the internal reference gene channel can promptly identify abnormal sample processing conditions, avoiding misinterpretations due to improper operation. Simultaneously, the dual-channel synchronous response characteristics of the positive control verify the activity of the core components of the kit, ensuring the reliability of each batch of tests and improving the credibility and scientific rigor of the test results.
[0017] 2. This invention addresses the technical bottleneck of drastically reduced sensitivity of traditional reagents in oily and complex matrices by optimizing the concentration ratio of key ions in the reaction buffer. This concentration design neutralizes the inhibitory effect of oily substances on enzyme activity, maintaining the continuous stability of the catalytic reaction in complex matrices. When processing samples from food production environments, the optimized buffer system resists interference from processing residues, ensuring ideal amplification efficiency. Maintaining stable amplification kinetics in the presence of oil achieves high consistency in detection results across different food matrices, providing a reliable monitoring method across food safety production chains.
[0018] 3. In interpreting trace allergen components, this invention improves amplification specificity and signal acquisition efficiency by constructing a multi-level quality control mechanism and synergistically optimizing key temperature parameters. This temperature parameter design achieves an optimal balance between probe hydrolysis efficiency and primer binding specificity, completing fluorescence signal release within a limited time. Combined with the DNA unwinding process during the sufficient pre-denaturation stage, it ensures early recognition of weak positive signals. The simultaneously established gradient standard interpretation system, through specific mathematical relationships, avoids interference from non-specific amplification while enhancing the sensitivity of trace component identification.
[0019] 4. The detection results of this invention have a high degree of consistency with standard methods. The target genes and usage parameters are consistent with relevant standards. The test kit results are accurate and reliable, and can be used as an effective detection method for detection or scientific research.

[0040] Example 3: A method for using an equivalent kit for the fluorescent PCR detection of peanut allergen components, comprising the following steps: (1) Sample preparation DNA samples were extracted from food samples such as chocolate, biscuits, and sauces. The extracted DNA samples can be used for testing immediately. If they are not tested immediately after extraction, they can be stored at -20°C for later use. (2) Preparation of reaction solution ① Preparation of the reaction system Place the 2×Probe qPCR Mix and primer / probe reaction solution on ice or at 4°C to thaw and shake well. Prepare the reaction system according to the amount of each component added for a single reaction as shown in Table 3.

[0049] The detection effect and judgment mechanism of an equivalent kit for fluorescent PCR detection of peanut allergen components: an analysis of its advantages compared with national standards and existing technologies. 1. Detection and judgment mechanism: The core of the kit lies in its dual-target simultaneous detection system, combining a peanut-derived specific gene and an 18S internal reference gene with a specially designed chimeric recombinant plasmid positive control, thus constructing a rigorous result interpretation process. Multiple rules must be followed when interpreting test results to mitigate the risks of false negatives and false positives: Forced monitoring of the internal control gene: The Ct value of the 18S internal control gene channel must be <30; otherwise, the test result is considered invalid. This mechanism monitors the quality of sample DNA extraction and reaction inhibitors in real time, including oils in the food matrix, to ensure accurate sample processing. The document explicitly requires: "An 18S channel Ct value <30 is considered a valid detection; otherwise, the result is invalid."
[0050] Co-validation with negative and positive controls: The negative control, ultrapure water, showed no amplification (Ct value ≥ 40), while the positive control, the chimeric recombinant plasmid pUC57-HS-18S, exhibited S-shaped amplification curves with Ct values < 30 in both the peanut source and the 18S channel. This dual validation ensured the effectiveness of the kit's core components: primers, probes, and enzyme activity.
[0051] Criteria for positive / negative results in the test samples: A Ct value < 35 for the peanut source channel is considered positive, indicating the presence of peanut allergen; a Ct value ≥ 40 is considered negative. Furthermore, the interpretation must meet the requirement that "all samples show an amplification curve with a Ct value < 30 in the 18S internal control channel" to avoid misjudgments due to operational errors or matrix interference.
[0052] 2. Advantages compared to national standards: Eliminating the risk of false negatives: While national standards only require single-target quality control, this kit employs simultaneous dual-target detection—the peanut-derived gene, the 18S internal reference gene, and the chimeric plasmid positive control pUC57-HS-18S, containing SEQ ID NO: 7 and 8—to construct a "triple quality control barrier." Documented experimental data shows that in cross-contamination validation, the kit achieved a detection rate of 90-100% for food production line samples, compared to only 0-40% for the national standard kit. This is attributed to the mandatory compliance mechanism of the internal reference gene, which promptly identifies sample anomalies and avoids false negatives.
[0053] Enhanced resistance to matrix interference: While the national standard does not specify concrete parameters for resistance to high-fat environments, this kit features an optimized buffer formulation of 40 mmol / L KCl + 3 mmol / L MgCl2 to neutralize the enzyme activity inhibition caused by lipids. In accelerated stability testing, after 9 days of storage at 35°C, the kit's Ct value shift was ≤0.5. For freeze-thaw stability, the Ct shift after 10 cycles was ≤1.0, exceeding the national standard requirement of ≤1.5 after 7 days. This allows the kit to maintain stable amplification efficiency in high-fat matrices such as chocolate and baked goods, whereas traditional kits often experience a sharp drop in sensitivity due to buffer ion imbalance.
[0054] Improved accuracy in trace detection: The national standard specifies a probe fluorescence intensity ΔRn ≥ 5000 and a primer working concentration of 100-900 nM. The kit's measured ΔRn for the FAM channel reaches 7800 ± 210, with final primer concentrations of 0.4 μM and 400 nM, meeting the standard. However, through optimization of the 60℃ annealing extension temperature and 15-minute pre-denaturation program, the kit balances probe hydrolysis efficiency and specificity, achieving a detection limit as low as 10 pg / cm² in trace samples. The detection rate for the condiment filling line samples in the document is 90%, while the detection rate of the national standard kit is almost 0 under the same conditions.
[0055] 3. The innovative effect compared to existing technologies: A dual-probe quenching system replaces single-dye detection: Traditional kits often use SYBR Green dye or the quencher group BHQ1, which easily leads to non-specific amplification and background noise. This kit uses dual-labeled probes: a peanut-derived probe (SEQ ID NO:3) labeled with FAM-TAMRA, and an 18S internal control probe (SEQ ID NO:6) labeled with FAM-TAMRA. The TAMRA quencher group, with a spacing of 5.2 nm, reduces background noise, achieving a "superior" signal-to-noise ratio.
[0056] Dynamic threshold interpretation replaces fixed threshold: Traditional methods rely on fixed Ct thresholds, which cannot adapt to sample differences. The kit introduces a dynamic threshold mechanism for the internal reference gene and combines it with standard curve quantification to avoid misjudgments caused by fluctuations in amplification efficiency. In food processing environment detection, the kit achieves a detection rate as high as 90-100%, while traditional kits only reach 30-40%, highlighting its superior adaptability.
[0057] Enhanced freeze-thaw resistance and stability: Existing kits often suffer from enzyme activity loss or premix layering due to freeze-thaw cycles, affecting the accuracy of assays. This kit, through freeze-thaw protectants and a homogenizing and stabilizing formulation, achieves a Ct shift ≤1.0 after 10 freeze-thaw cycles, with an enzyme activity retention rate of 98.2%, surpassing the stability deficiencies of traditional products. Accelerated stability data, with a Ct shift ≤0.5 after 9 days of storage at 35°C, demonstrates its reliable assay performance even under harsh conditions.
