Description

Technical Field

[0002] Respiratory multi-pathogens refer to multiple pathogens that infect the respiratory tract simultaneously or successively, causing respiratory diseases such as acute upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis or pneumonia. These pathogens may include bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycoplasmas and chlamydia. Respiratory multi-pathogen detection uses PCR amplification technology to detect whether there are respiratory pathogens in the sample, and cannot directly obtain the whole genome of the pathogen. If you want to obtain the whole genome of respiratory multi-pathogens, you need to conduct pathogen sequencing experiments on each detected pathogen separately. Most pathogens can be sequenced by amplicon sequencing like influenza viruses; however, amplicon sequencing is not suitable for rhinoviruses, which have many types.

[0003] Probe capture technology, especially probe capture sequencing, is a high-throughput sequencing technology with extensive and in-depth principles and applications. The core principle of probe capture sequencing is to use specific nucleic acid probes to efficiently and specifically enrich the target area, and then read it through a sequencer to obtain high-quality sequencing data of the target area. In addition, there is a probe capture method based on liquid phase hybridization capture technology, which uses the principle of complementary hybridization of nucleic acid molecule bases to design molecular probes modified with biotin.

[0192] In this step, the amount of magnetic beads used is relatively small, so there is no need to dry them separately at room temperature. Be careful not to over-dry the magnetic beads.

[0193] 10) Briefly centrifuge the PCR tube to ensure there are no bubbles in the tube, then add 15 μl Enhancer.

[0194] 11) Carry out the reaction according to the procedure in Table 15. After the temperature of the PCR instrument rises to 95°C, place the sample into the PCR instrument, skip procedure 1, and proceed to the subsequent procedure.

[0195] Table 15

[0197]

[0198] Make sure the PCR tubes are tightly sealed to prevent evaporation during incubation.

[0199] Before proceeding, verify that Program 2 on the thermal cycler is started.

[0200] 2. Targeted capture with streptavidin magnetic beads

[0201] 1) Take out each component of the hybridization capture kit B and equilibrate it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

[0202] 2) Ensure that there are no crystals in Fast Binding Buffer, Fast Wash Buffer 1, and Wash Buffer 2 before use. Vortex the pre-equilibrated Streptavidin Binding Beads until mixed.

[0203] 3) Add 100 μl of Streptavidin Binding Beads to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube. Prepare one centrifuge tube for each hybridization reaction.

[0204] 4) Add 200 μl Fast Binding Buffer to the centrifuge tube and mix well by pipetting.

[0205] 5) Allow the tube to sit on the magnetic rack for 1 minute, then aspirate and discard the supernatant. Be careful not to break up the magnetic beads. Remove the tube from the magnetic rack.

[0206] 6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 above twice, for a total of three washes.

[0207] 7) After the third wash, remove the supernatant and add 200 μl Fast Binding Buffer to resuspend the magnetic beads.

[0208] 8) After the hybridization reaction is completed, open the cover of the PCR instrument and quickly transfer all the hybridization reaction solutions (magnetic bead concentration and hybridization, step (11) product) to the corresponding centrifuge tube containing Streptavidin Binding Beads (cleaned). Mix the reagents by pipetting and flicking.

[0209] Rapid transfer directly from the 60°C thermal cycler is a critical step to reduce off-target reactions. Do not remove the hybridization reaction tubes from the thermal cycler or cool them below 60°C before transferring the solution to the washed Streptavidin Binding Beads.

[0210] 9) Mix the hybridization reaction solution and Streptavidin Binding Beads at room temperature for 30 minutes using a rotary mixer or oscillator at a speed that allows the solution to mix well (600 rpm).

[0211] Do not vortex. Vigorous mixing is not necessary.

[0212] 10) During the incubation of the hybridization reaction solution and magnetic beads, add 100 μl Fast Wash Buffer 1 to the PCR tube or 8-row strip according to the number of samples, mark it and place it in the PCR instrument, preheat it to 68°C, and set the temperature of the hot cover to 68°C. One sample requires 2 tubes of 100 μl Fast Wash Buffer 1.

[0213] 11) Similarly, aliquot Wash Buffer 2 and preheat to 48°C in a PCR instrument with the heated lid set to 48°C. One sample requires three tubes of 100 μl Wash Buffer 2.

[0214] 12) Remove the centrifuge tube containing the hybridization reaction solution and Streptavidin Binding Beads from the mixer and centrifuge briefly to ensure that all the solution is at the bottom of the centrifuge tube.

[0215] 13) Transfer all the solution in the centrifuge tube to a clean PCR tube.

[0216] 14) Let the PCR tube stand on the magnetic rack for 1 minute, aspirate and discard the supernatant. Do not break up the magnetic bead pellet.

[0217] 15) Remove the PCR tube from the magnetic stand and add 100 μl of 68°C preheated Fast Wash Buffer 1. Mix well by pipetting.

[0218] Transfer Fast Wash Buffer 1 directly from the 68°C thermal cycler.

[0219] 16) Place the PCR tube on a PCR instrument and incubate at 68°C for 5 minutes.

[0220] 17) Let the PCR tube stand on the magnetic rack for 1 minute, aspirate and discard the supernatant. Do not break up the magnetic bead pellet.

[0221] 18) Repeat the above steps (15-17) once, washing twice in total using Fast Wash Buffer 1.

[0222] 19) Remove the tube from the magnetic rack and add 100 μl of 48°C preheated Wash Buffer 2. Mix well by pipetting, then centrifuge briefly to ensure that all the solution is at the bottom of the tube.

[0223] Quickly transfer Wash Buffer 2 directly from the 48°C thermal cycler.

[0224] 20) Place the PCR tube on a PCR instrument and incubate at 48°C for 5 minutes.

[0225] 21) Let the PCR tube stand on the magnetic rack for 1 minute, aspirate and discard the supernatant. Do not disrupt the magnetic bead pellet.

[0226] 22) Repeat steps 19-21 above twice, washing a total of three times using Wash Buffer 2.

[0227] 23) After the last wash, use a 10μl pipette to remove the remaining Wash Buffer 2. Proceed immediately to the next step. Do not allow the beads to dry out.

[0228] Before removing the supernatant, briefly centrifuge the magnetic bead pellet to collect the supernatant at the bottom of the tube or microplate and place it back on the magnet.

[0229] 24) Remove the centrifuge tube from the magnetic stand, add 45 μl of water, and mix and incubate the solution (hereinafter referred to as streptavidin-bound magnetic bead suspension) by pipetting.

[0230] IV. Post-capture amplification and purification

[0231] 1. Post-capture PCR amplification

[0232] 1) Thaw the PCR amplification components in the Hybridization Capture Kit A on ice or at 4°C and centrifuge briefly to collect the reagents on the tube wall. Equilibrate the DNA Purification Beads at room temperature for 30 minutes.

[0233] 2) Transfer 22.5 μl of the streptavidin-bound magnetic bead suspension to a 0.2 ml thin-walled PCR tube. Place on ice until used in the next step. If the streptavidin-bound magnetic bead suspension settles, use a pipette to mix it.

[0234] Store the remaining 22.5 μl of water / streptavidin-bound magnetic bead suspension at -20 °C for future use.

[0235] 3) Add the reagents in Table 16 to the PCR tube containing the streptavidin-bound magnetic bead suspension to prepare a PCR mixture. Mix by pipetting.

[0236] Table 16

[0237]

[0238] 4) Centrifuge the tube briefly, transfer it to a thermal cycler and start the cycling program in Table 17.

[0239] Table 17

[0240]

[0241] If no subsequent experiments are to be performed, store at -20°C and place on ice or thaw at 4°C before use.

[0242] 2. Post-capture magnetic bead purification

[0243] 1) Vortex DNA Purification Beads until mixed.

[0244] 2) Add 90 μl DNA Purification Beads to the PCR tube, mix well by pipetting or vortexing, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes.

[0245] 3) Transfer to a magnetic rack and place for 2 minutes to ensure that the liquid is clear, then discard the supernatant.

[0246] 4) Place on a magnetic rack and add 200 μl of freshly prepared 80% ethanol, wait for 30 seconds, and discard the supernatant.

[0247] 5) Repeat step 3 above once.

[0248] 6) On the magnetic stand, use a 10μl pipette to aspirate the residual ethanol at the bottom of the PCR tube, dry at room temperature for 5 minutes (if the air is dry, the drying time can be appropriately reduced, and do not over-dry to cause cracks in the magnetic beads). When the surface of the magnetic beads is no longer reflective, elution can be performed.

[0249] 7) Remove the test tube from the magnetic stand, add 32 μl of water, mix well with a pipette, and incubate at room temperature for 2 minutes.

[0250] 8) Transfer 30 μl of supernatant (containing the enriched library) to a clean PCR tube.

[0251] 9) Use Qubit to measure the concentration of the purified capture library.

[0252] Experimental results: The detection results of multiple respiratory pathogens are shown in Table 18. The cDNA concentration in Table 18 is the experimental result of sample preparation in Experimental Process 1, the library concentration is the experimental result of library preparation in Experimental Process 2, and the post-capture library concentration is the experimental result of hybrid capture in Experimental Process 3 and amplification and purification in Experimental Process 4.

[0253] Sample amplification efficiency: 1. All samples were successfully amplified, and the cDNA concentration ranged from 0.1ng / ul to 15.8ng / ul, showing different abundances of the original material. 2. The library concentration ranged from 74.8ng / ul to 272.8ng / ul, indicating that the amplification process was effective and that the amplification efficiency varied between samples.

[0254] 2. Capture efficiency: 1. The concentration of the library after capture ranged from 33.2ng / ul to 68.8ng / ul, reflecting the different efficiency of the capture step for different viruses. 2. Although the original cDNA concentration was low (such as COVID-19, dengue type 1, and rhinovirus), the concentration of the library after capture was still sufficient for subsequent sequencing analysis.

[0255] 3. Sequencing quality: 1. The ratio of Q20 and Q30 bases in all samples is high, indicating good sequencing quality. 2. The coverage is close to or reaches 100%, indicating that the sequencing depth is sufficient, indicating that the primers designed in this experiment can effectively amplify almost the entire length of the target pathogen genome, and the amplification efficiency is stable, which can fully cover the target area.
