Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological detection, and particularly relates to a Brucella typing detection kit and a detection method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Brucellosis is a zoonosis caused by Brucella, which poses a serious threat to animal husbandry production and human health. There are many species of Brucella, and different species and biotypes differ in pathogenicity, transmission route and treatment method. Therefore, accurate typing detection is crucial for disease prevention and treatment, which not only helps to understand the biological characteristics and pathogenic mechanism, but also provides an important basis for epidemic tracking, clinical diagnosis, epidemiological research and prevention and control.

[0003] Traditional Brucella typing detection methods mainly include bacterial culture method and serological detection method. Although the bacterial culture method is the "gold standard" for diagnosing Brucella, it has a long detection period, high requirements for experimental environment and operating personnel, and is easily contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria, which affects the accuracy of the detection results. Although the serological detection method, such as the rose bengal plate agglutination test and the test tube agglutination test, is relatively simple to operate, it has low specificity and sensitivity, and cannot accurately distinguish different Brucella types, which may result in false positive and false negative results. With the development of molecular biology technology, nucleic acid-based detection methods have been gradually applied to Brucella typing detection, but the existing nucleic acid-based detection technology still has defects in signal strength and adaptability to complex samples.

[0004] In the existing Brucella detection, the performance of the marker has a significant impact on the detection results. Conventional markers have weak signals and are prone to quenching, which makes it difficult to meet the detection needs of trace samples. At the same time, actual detection samples are derived from a wide range of sources and are complex in composition, often containing various inhibitors such as hemoglobin in blood and proteases in tissues, which can interfere with the activity of the detection reagent, resulting in inaccurate detection results. The existing detection kit has poor tolerance to complex samples, which cannot meet the actual detection needs.

[0005] For example, a Chinese invention patent with the authorized publication number CN105624303B discloses a bovine, ovine, porcine and canine Brucella typing fluorescence PCR detection kit and its preparation and application. The kit includes bovine Brucella detection primers and probes, ovine Brucella detection primers and probes, porcine Brucella detection primers and probes, and canine Brucella detection primers and probes. The kit has high detection sensitivity, with a minimum detection limit of 1x10 3 copy / ml, and the accuracy and positive rate are both as high as 100%. However, the signal strength and tolerance to complex samples of the kit and its application method still need to be further improved.

[0006] It can be seen that the Brucella typing detection kit and the detection method thereof, which are superior to the traditional detection method in signal strength, complex sample tolerance, detection sensitivity and specificity, can more accurately and efficiently realize the typing detection of Brucella, meet the market demand, have wide market value and application prospect, and have very important significance for promoting the development of accurate Brucella typing technology.

[0036] Another object of the present application is to provide a detection method for detecting Brucella by using the above-mentioned Brucella typing detection kit, comprising the following steps:

[0037] Step S1, using the DNA sample extracted from whole blood as the DNA sample to be tested, using positive control and blank control, and using the Brucella typing detection kit to perform PCR detection;

[0041] Preferably, the reaction conditions of the fluorescent quantitative PCR in the PCR detection in step S1 are as follows: 95°C pre-denaturation for 3 min; 98°C denaturation for 10 s, 60°C annealing and extension for 30 s, and 72°C extension for 30 s, for a total of 50 cycles; then melting curve scanning is performed, 95°C for 1 min, 45°C for 3 min, scanning from 45°C to 85°C at an interval of 1°C, and the fluorescence channel is selected as the detection channel corresponding to the ROX PLUS dye.

[0042] Preferably, in the PCR detection in step S1, a segmented temperature strategy is used in the PCR reaction process, the annealing temperature is appropriately increased to 62°C in the early stage of 1-20 cycles to promote specific binding, and the annealing temperature is reduced to 58°C in the later stage of 21-50 cycles to improve the amplification efficiency and further enhance the detection signal strength.

[0043] The present application relates to a Brucella quantitative and typing detection kit, the principle of quantitative detection is based on fluorescence quantitative PCR technology. Fluorescence quantitative PCR (Quantitative Real-time PCR, qPCR) is a high sensitivity molecular biology technology which can monitor the fluorescence signal change in the PCR amplification process, and thus can quantitatively analyze the target nucleic acid. Its core principle is to combine the fluorescence marker with the amplification product, and through detecting the dynamic change of fluorescence intensity with the number of amplification cycles, combined with the standard curve or relative quantitative method, the concentration of the initial template can be accurately calculated. The key of the technology is to realize the combination of "real-time monitoring" and "quantitative analysis": after each cycle of PCR reaction, the fluorescence signal in the reaction system is collected by the fluorescence detection system, and its intensity is proportional to the accumulation of the amplification product. According to the generation mode of fluorescence signal, qPCR is mainly divided into two types: non-specific fluorescent dye method (such as SYBR Green I) and specific probe method (such as TaqMan probe, molecular beacon). SYBR Green I emits fluorescence by embedding into the small groove of double-stranded DNA, and its advantage is low cost and simple operation, but it may be interfered by non-specific amplification products (such as primer dimers); the probe method depends on the nucleic acid probe labeled with fluorescence group and quencher group, and after the probe is specifically combined with the target sequence, the fluorescence group and the quencher group are separated by hydrolysis or conformation change, and the fluorescence signal is released, so as to ensure the specificity of detection. The basis of quantitative analysis is Ct value (threshold cycle number), that is, the amplification cycle number required for the fluorescence signal to reach the preset threshold, and the more the initial template amount, the smaller the Ct value. Through the gradient dilution of the standard sample with known concentration, the logarithmic linear relationship (standard curve) between Ct value and template concentration can be established, so as to calculate the absolute copy number of unknown sample; relative quantification is to correct the difference between samples by internal reference gene (such as housekeeping gene), and to calculate the expression fold change of target gene.

[0044] The principle of the kit for typing detection is based on the probe melting curve technology. The probe melting curve analysis is a high-sensitivity molecular detection technology based on the specific binding of a fluorescent probe to a target DNA sequence. The core principle is to monitor the change of fluorescence signal during the dissociation of the probe and the target sequence, and to realize the verification of the PCR product, the mutation detection or the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing by combining with the melting temperature (Tm value) analysis. The technology relies on a double-labeled fluorescent probe (such as TaqMan probe or molecular beacon), which is labeled with a fluorescent group (such as ROX-Plus) at the 5' end and a quencher group (such as TAMRA) at the 3' end. In the free state, the probe is close to the quencher group due to the stem-loop structure or spatial folding of itself, and the fluorescence is quenched; when the probe is specifically combined with the single-stranded target DNA, the conformation of the probe is unfolded, the fluorescent group and the quencher group are separated, and the fluorescence signal is released. After the PCR amplification is completed, the system is slowly heated (such as from 60℃ to 95℃), and the change of fluorescence intensity is monitored in real time: at low temperature, the probe is stably combined with the target sequence, and the fluorescence signal is high; as the temperature approaches the melting temperature (Tm value) of the probe-target sequence complex, the double-stranded gradually dissociates, the probe is separated from the target sequence, and the fluorescence signal sharply decreases; at high temperature, the probe is completely free, and the fluorescence signal returns to the baseline. By plotting the curve of fluorescence intensity versus temperature (melting curve), and calculating the negative derivative (-dF / dT), the characteristic melting peak can be obtained, and the temperature at the peak top is the Tm value. The Tm value is determined by factors such as the complementarity of the probe and the target sequence, the GC content, the probe length and the salt ion concentration: the Tm value of the perfectly matched probe is higher, and a single base mismatch can significantly reduce the Tm value. Therefore, by analyzing the number of melting peaks and the Tm value difference, the product specificity (single peak for specific amplification, multiple peaks indicating the presence of non-specific products or mutations), the detection of point mutations (such as wild type and mutant Tm value difference) or the SNP typing (different alleles of the probe design can produce different Tm values) can be judged.

[0045] Due to the use of the above technical scheme, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] (1) The Brucella typing detection kit and the detection method disclosed by the present application complete the quantitative detection and typing detection in a single tube reagent. The Brucella in the sample is quantitatively detected by the Taqman probe method. After the PCR amplification is completed, the product is analyzed by the probe melting curve method, so that accurate quantification can be realized, and the sample can be accurately typed and detected without cross reaction.

[0047] (2) The Brucella typing detection kit disclosed by the application is a single-tube single-channel 5-reaction PCR detection reagent. The single-channel fluorescent PCR reagent completes multi-index detection through the innovation of the detection method, reduces the comprehensive cost, and provides an efficient and reliable molecular detection solution for remote areas. The multi-channel interpretation is not required, the result is accurate, and the application is convenient.

[0048] (3) The Brucella typing detection kit and the detection method thereof disclosed by the application, the reaction solution comprises: 5x PCR buffer, 50mM MgCl2, 0.5Mm dNTP, 0.1-0.3% (v / v) surfactant, 0.5-2mol / L enhancer, 1-5% (w / v) trehalose, 0.1-1% (w / v) BSA, 0.1-1ug / ul SSB, 0.1-1mM MnCl2. Trehalose can protect the structure and activity of enzymes and nucleic acids under extreme conditions such as high temperature, maintain the structure of biological macromolecules by forming hydrogen bonds with enzyme and nucleic acid molecules, prevent Taq DNA polymerase from denaturation and inactivation, stabilize the structure of nucleic acid molecules, ensure the smooth progress of PCR reaction, and improve the detection stability; BSA can block the sites that may non-specifically adsorb nucleic acids or antibodies in the reaction system, the surfactant can reduce the non-specific interaction between molecules, and the two can synergistically reduce the background signal, make the detection signal more prominent, and improve the detection accuracy; SSB can tightly bind to single-stranded DNA, prevent single-stranded DNA from reannealing to form double-stranded DNA, and avoid degradation by nucleases, thereby improving the accessibility of template DNA in PCR reaction, accelerating the binding of primers to the template, significantly improving the amplification efficiency, and shortening the reaction time; MnCl2 can change the activity and specificity of Taq DNA polymerase, and in some cases can enhance the amplification ability of the enzyme to difficult templates (such as GC-rich sequences), which helps to detect complex sequence regions in Brucella and improves the comprehensiveness of detection. Through reasonable selection of the composition formula of the reaction solution, the components cooperate with each other, and the kit can maintain stable performance in complex samples containing high concentrations of proteins, polysaccharides and other interfering substances, effectively improving the detection accuracy.

[0049] (4) The Brucella typing detection kit and the detection method thereof disclosed by the application, the 5' end of the P0 / P1 / P2 / P3 / P4 probe is labeled with a reporter fluorescent dye ROX-Plus to improve the fluorescent labeling efficiency, and the segmented temperature strategy and the elimination effect of ExoIII exonuclease on non-specific products are combined to effectively reduce the background signal and improve the detection signal intensity; through the optimized reaction system and detection process, combined with high-sensitivity fluorescent labeling, the detection sensitivity can be effectively improved.

[0050] (5) The Brucella typing detection kit and the detection method thereof, the degradation of ExoIII exonuclease to non-specific products, and the promotion of the segmented variable temperature strategy to the specific binding of primers, effectively avoid the cross-reaction between primers, and the specificity reaches 100% in the detection of mixed samples of various microorganisms.
