Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical detection technology, and in particular to a rapid detection kit for novel coronaviruses XBB and XDV based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology. Background Art

[0002] XBB is a variant of the Omicron subtype, which is mainly characterized by increased transmission and immune escape. The study pointed out that the pathogenicity of XBB has not been significantly enhanced, but because the mutation of the strain can better bind to human cell receptors, XBB.1.5 has a higher immune escape ability. Symptoms of infection with the XBB subtype strain include difficulty breathing, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, body pain, fatigue and fever. Scientists described the resistance of the XBB subvariant to antibodies produced by vaccination and infection as "worrying." They found that the XBB subvariant was more effective in evading the protection of the booster shot than the BQ subvariant, and these two subvariants are the variants with the strongest ability to escape vaccine protection so far.

[0003] XDV (also known as XDV.1) is a multi-recombinant variant in the Omicron sublineage, which contains genomic information from the XBB lineage (itself a recombinant) and the spike protein of JN.1 (including a FLiRT mutation). That is, the XDV variant is a subbranch of the new coronavirus JN.1 variant. Since the end of 2023, the JN.1 variant has gradually become the dominant strain worldwide, and XDV, as one of its subbranches, has gradually attracted the attention of the scientific community. According to the latest data from the China CDC, the proportion of XDV variants in influenza-like cases has increased. Because it is a multi-recombinant variant, it may have different transmission characteristics and the ability to escape existing immune protection. At present, it is unclear whether XDV.1 will pose a greater threat to public health, but its prevalence in Asia and other regions will be closely monitored. Global health agencies are stepping up monitoring and research on XD V.1 to assess its potential impact on vaccine efficacy, treatment strategies, and public health measures. From clinical observations, the symptoms of those infected with the XDV variant are generally mild, but it is worth noting that the elderly and people with chronic underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are still at high risk of infection and progression to severe illness. The emergence of the XDV variant once again reminds us that the prevention and control of the new coronavirus cannot be relaxed. By staying vigilant, strengthening personal protection, and paying attention to the epidemic situation, we can jointly curb the spread of the virus and safeguard public health safety.

[0004] In summary, the detection of XDV and XBB variants is of great significance for timely understanding their transmission, evaluating their impact on public health safety, and providing a scientific basis for prevention and control measures.

[0005] In order to accurately identify the XBB and XDV variants of the new coronavirus, molecular real-time diagnostic methods including RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptio n-Polymerase Chain Reaction) are usually used. For example, some domestic companies and scientific research institutions have developed PCR detection reagents for JN.1.

[0006] Although fluorescence quantitative PCR is the preferred option for virus detection at this stage, it has the following limitations: (1) It is easy to generate aerosol contamination, resulting in false positive results. It requires professionally trained technicians with PCR job certificates, professional PCR certification laboratories, and expensive temperature change control analysis instruments; (2) Traditional fluorescence quantitative PCR sample nucleic acid extraction and amplification detection are carried out in two steps, and it takes at least 1.5-2 hours from sampling to issuing test results. Although multiplex PCR real-time amplification technology for a single target gene has been developed recently, its amplification detection process of up to 90 to 120 minutes and its strict requirements on experimental equipment and experimental personnel are obviously not suitable for rapid detection.

[0089]

[0090] The above-mentioned primers and probes can be used to detect the S gene of the new coronavirus XBB and XDV.

[0108] (2) RPA amplification reaction: Using the RNA extracted in step (1) as a template and using the RPA primers and probes in the kit, an RPA amplification reaction is performed in an RPA reaction tube.

[0109] Example 3 Sensitivity detection of RPA primers.

[0110] (1) Provide the kit of Example 2, and add each reagent according to the following reaction system, specifically including:

[0111] Add 2.1 μL of upstream primer, 2.1 μL of downstream primer, 0.6 μL of probe, 29.5 μL of rehydration buffer, and 3.2 μL of RNase-free sterile deionized water to the RPA amplification tube (containing dry powder enzyme) respectively. After the dry powder in the amplification tube is completely dissolved, add 10 μL of template, centrifuge instantly at 2,000 rpm, and add 2.5 μL of activator magnesium acetate.

[0112] (2) Immediately place the reaction tube in an instrument that has been set up in advance to collect fluorescence signals. The RPA reaction conditions are 39°C, the reaction time is 10 minutes, and the fluorescence signal is collected every 30 seconds.

[0113] The specific sensitivity of fluorescence signal detection is shown in the figure Figure 1 As shown, the amplified fluorescence signals of the new coronavirus XBB and XD V can be detected within 1 minute at the fastest, and the detection sensitivity can reach 3 copies / μL within 10 minutes.

[0114] Example 4 Specific detection of RPA primers.

[0115] The novel coronavirus variants XBB, XDV, other strains and PBS buffer were selected as templates for RPA primer specificity verification. The RNA of the novel coronavirus variants XBB and XDV was directly extracted using the purchased kit, and the concentration was measured and converted into copy number, and then diluted 10 times into a series of concentration gradients, including 10 5 copies / μL, 10 4 copies / μL, 10 3 copie s / μL, 10 2 copies / μL, 10 1 copies / μL and 1copy / L.

[0116] A kit of Example 2 is provided, and each reagent of the sample is added according to the following reaction system, specifically including: adding 2.1 μL of upstream primer, 2.1 μL of downstream primer, 0.6 μL of probe primer, 29.5 μL of rehydration buffer (Rehydration Buffer), and 3.2 μL of RNase-free sterile deionized water to the RPA amplification tube, adding 10 μL of template after the dry powder in the amplification tube is completely dissolved, centrifuging instantly at 2,000 rpm, and adding 2.5 μL of activator magnesium acetate.

[0117] Immediately place the reaction tube in an instrument that has been set up in advance to collect fluorescence signals. The RPA reaction conditions are 39°C, the reaction time is 10 minutes, and the fluorescence signal is collected every 30 seconds.

[0118] The results of specific tests are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, we selected common bacteria and viruses isolated from oral sputum and respiratory tract, including H1N1, H3N2, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, wild strain of new coronavirus, delta variant of new coronavirus, etc. (see Figure 3 ) for routine culture, and finally for concentration determination, extraction of nucleic acid and conversion into copy number, so that the concentration reaches 10 5 The DNA templates were extracted using the genome extraction kit produced by Qiagen. After the nucleic acid templates were extracted, the concentration of the nucleic acid templates was uniformly adjusted to 10 5 copies / μL, and non-specific amplification detection was performed using the kit and RPA amplification method described in Example 2. Figure 3 It can be seen that the new coronavirus primer amplification test only detected the XBB and XDV variants of the new coronavirus, and the others were negative, and no non-specific amplification occurred.

[0119] Example 5 Comparative verification of the RPA method and the fluorescent quantitative PCR method.

[0120] Select novel coronavirus XBB and XDV (10 4 copies / μL) were used as templates for RPA amplification and fluorescence quantitative PCR method for correlation verification.

[0121] The RPA reaction was performed according to the following reaction system for adding various reagents, wherein the primers and probes for gene detection were not mixed and added, but amplified separately, specifically including: adding 2.1 μL of upstream primer, 2.1 μL of downstream primer, 0.6 μL of probe primer, 29.5 μL of rehydration buffer, and 3.2 μL of RNase-free sterile deionized water to the RPA amplification tube, respectively, adding 10 μL of template after the dry powder in the amplification tube was completely dissolved, centrifuging at 2,000 rpm, and adding 2.5 μL of activator magnesium acetate.

[0122] Immediately place the RPA reaction tube in a pre-set instrument that can collect fluorescence signals. The RPA reaction conditions are 39°C, the reaction time is 10 minutes, and the fluorescence signal is collected every 30 seconds.

[0123] Fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction, according to the detection primers and probes recommended by WHO, and using commercial quantitative detection kit for amplification, the reaction system is (Table 2):

[0124] S gene:

[0126] The reaction conditions were: PCR enzyme activation (pre-denaturation) for 15 min at 95°C;

[0127] Cyclic Amplification:

[0128] Table 2. Quantitative PCR assay procedure

[0129]

[0130] Table 3 shows the RPA method of this embodiment for detecting various variant strains of the new coronavirus that have been clinically confirmed by PCR. It can be seen from Table 3 that this method can detect the presence of the new coronavirus XBB and XDV within 2 minutes at the fastest, and can complete viral gene detection within 10 minutes; the analysis of the accuracy fitting results with the quantitative PCR amplification results showed that there was no significant difference between the RPA method detection results of this embodiment and the fluorescent quantitative PCR detection results, and the fitting rate was 100%. At present, the gold standard for nucleic acid detection is still fluorescent quantitative PCR, indicating that the detection efficiency of the method we established is the same as the detection accuracy of fluorescent quantitative PCR, but the detection time is greatly shortened, and it only targets XBB and XDV variants.
