Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of viral nucleic acid detection, and particularly relates to a primer probe combination for full-genome coverage of NADC30-like PRRSV-2 and a multiplex detection kit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important pathogen that causes significant economic losses to the global pig industry. In recent years, the prevalence of NADC30-like PRRSV-2 has brought new challenges to the pig industry. NADC30-like PRRSV-2 has high genetic diversity and recombination ability, which makes the traditional detection method have many limitations in detecting and identifying the virus. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a multi-target multiplex detection RT-qPCR technology that can cover the whole genome of NADC30-like PRRSV-2.

[0003] Single-target detection cannot effectively distinguish NADC30-like PRRSV-2 from other PRRSV strains. If the detection site mutates or recombines, it will lead to a high false negative rate of the detection result. Moreover, NADC30-like PRRSV-2 has high recombination ability, and single-target detection cannot detect the recombination of the virus.

[0004] Although the existing qPCR detection method can detect at most 5 target points at the same time, these target points are usually concentrated in limited gene regions and cannot comprehensively cover the whole genome of PRRSV. Moreover, the existing qPCR detection method cannot effectively detect the recombination in the viral genome, but the analysis of the recombination is particularly important for NADC30-like PRRSV-2.

[0005] The first inventor of the present application, Chen Nanhua, has been committed to the research of PRRSV differential diagnosis method since 2006. A number of SCI papers related to PRRSV detection have been published (Chen et al., 2009. Rapid differential detection of classical and highly pathogenic North American Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus in China by a duplex real-time RT-PCR. Journal of Virological Methods, 161(2), 192-198. DOI: 10.1016 / j. j viromet. 2009.06.007 .Chen et al., 2019. Development of universal and quadruplex real-time RT-PCR assays for simultaneously detection and differentiation of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 66(6):2271-2278. DOI: 10.1111 / tbed.13276) and obtained a number of patents related to PRRSV fluorescent quantitative PCR differential detection (PRRSV classic strain and highly pathogenic variant strain double real-time fluorescent RT-PCR differential detection method, ZL200910077704.8; Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus universal type real-time fluorescent RT-PCR detection method and kit, ZL201110073381.2). With more than ten years of rich experience in the field of primer probe design, when designing primer probe combinations, most potential factors that may interfere with multiplex differential detection have been fully considered and avoided as much as possible. These factors include but are not limited to dimers that may be formed between primer probe sequences, mutual interference between primer probe combinations of different targets, and differences in annealing temperature, etc. However, although careful consideration and optimization have been made in the design stage, many challenges have still been encountered in the actual test process, such as mutual inhibition between primer probes, synergy between primer probes, and more complexly, some primer probe combinations are not compatible with any other primer probe combinations, etc. leading to no amplification signal, etc. This phenomenon may be related to serious mutual interference between primer probes. This interference may be caused by factors such as high homology, complementarity or steric hindrance between primer probe sequences, leading to the failure of primer probes to normally bind to the target template during the reaction, and thus the failure to initiate the amplification reaction. SUMMARY

[0045] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: compared with the prior art, the present application adopts a whole genome multi-target detection strategy, which can effectively detect and analyze the recombination of NADC30-like PRRSV-2; multiple detection is realized, and multiple gene targets can be detected simultaneously in a single reaction, which significantly improves the detection efficiency and reduces the cost of single gene detection. By designing primers and probes covering the key regions of the whole genome, the virus recombination characteristics can be accurately identified, which provides important data support for virus evolution research and prevention and control strategy making. The technology is simple to operate, the results are reliable, and it is suitable for large-scale screening of clinical samples. Specifically, the following points are included:

[0046] 1、The present application can effectively distinguish NADC30-like PRRSV-2 from other PRRSV strains by designing specific primers and probes covering the whole genome of NADC30-like PRRSV-2. The traditional single-target detection method is prone to false negative when facing virus variation or recombination, while the present application adopts a whole genome multi-target detection strategy, which greatly improves the reliability of the detection results and reduces the breeding loss caused by misjudgment.

[0047] 2、The present application realizes multiple detection and whole genome coverage of NADC30-like PRRSV-2, which can detect multiple gene targets simultaneously in one reaction, reduces the repeated use of reagents and equipment, significantly shortens the detection time, and reduces the detection cost. Through optimized primer and probe design, the detection efficiency is improved, which provides strong support for large-scale sample detection. Not only is it helpful to promote the use in the pig industry, but also provides stronger technical support for the prevention and control of the pig industry, and can be applied to epidemiological investigation and pig farm detection to quickly and accurately understand the virus variation.

[0048] 3、The present application covers multiple key gene regions of the whole genome of NADC30-like PRRSV-2, which can effectively determine and analyze the recombination of the epidemic virus to be detected. Through synchronous detection of different gene regions, the position and frequency of recombination can be accurately located, which provides important data support for virus evolution research and prevention and control. The prior art cannot effectively detect the recombination due to the limitation of target points, and the breakthrough of the present application in this aspect fills the gap of the prior art, which helps to deeply understand the variation rule of the virus and develop more effective prevention and control strategies.

[0049] 4、The application can effectively monitor the prevalence of PRRSV in pig farms, especially for the NADC30-like strain and its recombinant variants widely prevalent in current Chinese pig populations. Regular detection using the specific primer probe combination of the application can help real-time grasp the changes in viral genetic characteristics in pig populations. When the detection finds changes in the gene combination, it often indicates that the pig farm may have introduced a new recombinant strain. Given the high prevalence of the current NADC30-like strain and its complex recombinant characteristics, this multi-target detection technology can provide important technical support for the prevention and control of PRRSV in pig farms. By timely detecting strain variation, it can guide pig farms to take targeted immunization and management measures to effectively control the spread and prevalence of PRRSV.

[0065] Establishment of whole genome multi-target multiplex detection method for NADC30-like PRRSV-2

[0066] 1. Design and screening of primers and probes for whole genome detection of NADC30-like PRRSV-2

[0067] 100 complete genome sequences covering all major lineages of PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 were downloaded from the GenBank database, and multiple sequence alignment analysis was performed using sequence alignment software DNAMAN. Based on the highly conserved and different subtype-specific gene regions in PRRSV strains (such as Figure 1 ), the selected regions on the whole genome include 50bp-500bp (No. 1), 1000bp-2300bp (No. 2-No. 6), 4400bp-6500bp (No. 7-No. 13), 7000bp-9000bp (No. 14-No. 16), 9500bp-11000bp (No. 17-No. 18), 11500bp-14000bp (No. 19-No. 24), 14300bp-15050bp (No. 25-No. 27).

[0068] According to the above relatively conservative region design NADC30-like PRRSV-2 full gene coverage specific detection primer and probe. The 5' end of the probe is labeled with different fluorescent groups (FAM and HEX) respectively. The specific 27 group primer probe sequence is shown in Table 1. The NADC30-like PRRSV-2 (SD17-36 strain) RNA extracted by QIAGEN RNAeasy Mini Kit was used as template, and the HiScript III 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit was used for reverse transcription to cDNA, and then the reaction system shown in Table 2 and the reaction condition shown in Table 3 were used for qPCR amplification and signal collection. Eliminate 5 groups of primer-probe combinations without amplification signal, and retain 22 groups of effective primer-probe combinations for subsequent experiments. The specific primer probe sequence is shown in Table 1 (number 1-4, 6-9, 11-17, 20-22, 24-27).

[0077] 2、Specificity test

[0078] The RNA of different PRRSV strains (NADC34-like PRRSV-2rBJ1805-2 strain, NADC30-like PRRSV-2SD17-36 strain, HP-PRRSV-2XJ17-5 strain, VR2332-like PRRSV-2JSYC-2005-2 strain and PRRSV-1 AHEU2024-2671 strain) extracted by QIAGEN RNAeasy Mini Kit was used as a template to prepare viral cDNA using HiScript III 1stStrand cDNA Synthesis Kit to evaluate the specificity of the method. The specificity of the 22 selected primer probe combinations was systematically evaluated during the detection of different PRRSV strains using real-time fluorescent PCR method. The specific amplification conditions and amplification system are shown in Step 1. The results show that some primer probe combinations (Table 1, numbered as 2-4, 6-9, 11, 13-14, 16, 20-22, 25, 27) can achieve specific amplification of specific strains. For example, as shown in Figure 2A , the N30-8480 group only produces specific amplification signals for the NADC30-like SD17-36 strain during detection, and no obvious cross-reaction occurs for other strains, indicating that it has high specificity and can accurately identify the target strain. It can be used as a powerful tool for specific detection of NADC30-like strains in subsequent experiments.

[0079] However, not all primer probe combinations have ideal specificity. For example, as shown in Figure 2B , the N30-9720 group has obvious non-specific amplification during detection. This combination produces amplification signals for strains of different lineages, indicating that it cannot effectively distinguish between target strains and other strains, and has poor specificity. This non-specific amplification can lead to misjudgment of the detection results and affect the accurate identification and analysis of PRRSV strains. In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the experiment, all combinations with non-specific amplification were discarded, and 16 primer probe combinations with high specificity were finally selected for subsequent experiments. The specific primer probe sequences are shown in Table 1 (numbered as 2-4, 6-9, 11, 13-14, 16, 20-22, 25, 27).

[0080] 3. Recombinant strain detection

[0081] To verify the accuracy and reliability of the screened primer probe combinations in detecting NADC30-like PRRSV recombinant strains, NADC30-like recombinant strain JSYZ24-2748 and NADC30-like non-recombinant strain SD17-36 were selected as test objects, and the 16 groups of high-specificity primer probe combinations (numbered 2-4, 6-9, 11, 13-14, 16, 20-22, 25, and 27) finally screened were systematically tested. In the test, real-time fluorescent PCR technology was used to quantitatively analyze the 16 groups of primer probe combinations, and the specific amplification conditions and amplification system are shown in Step 1, to evaluate their performance in detecting recombinant strains. As shown in Figure 3A , the quantitative amplification curve and statistical analysis results clearly show that all primer probe combinations can effectively amplify the SD17-36 strain, which indicates that these combinations have high sensitivity and stability in detecting this strain. However, for the JSYZ24-2748 strain, Figure 3B , the results show that only some primer probe combinations can produce amplification signals, while the remaining combinations fail to detect obvious amplification products. This difference indicates that different primer probe combinations exhibit significant specificity differences in detecting different strains.

[0082] To further verify the ability of these primer probe combinations to distinguish between recombinant strains and non-recombinant strains, RDP4 and Simplot software were used to perform detailed recombinant analysis on the SD17-36 strain and the JSYZ24-2748 strain. After comparing the results of the recombinant analysis with the detection results of the quantitative PCR, it was found that they were highly consistent (as shown in Figure 3C ). This result indicates that the primer probe combinations not only can accurately detect the presence of PRRSV strains, but also can effectively distinguish between recombinant strains and non-recombinant strains, which is of great significance for the accurate detection and classification of PRRSV, as well as the in-depth study of the genetic variation and epidemic trend of PRRSV.

[0083] 4. Probe labeling and combination testing

[0084] After labeling the primer probe combinations with different channels, the primer probe combinations were optimized. Based on the rich experience accumulated in the field of primer probe design for more than ten years, the present application has fully considered and as far as possible avoided most potential factors that may interfere with multiplex differential detection when designing primer probe combinations. These factors include but are not limited to the possible formation of dimers between primer probe sequences, the mutual interference between primer probe combinations of different targets, and the difference in annealing temperature, etc. However, despite careful consideration and optimization during the design stage, many challenges were still encountered during the actual test process. For example, in the process of Figure 4AThe results of single-base detection using two primer and probe sets, N30-1150 and N30-8480, are shown in the image (e.g., Figure 4A (a and b in the text) and the detection results when they are combined for dual detection (e.g.) Figure 4A (c) From the single-detection results, the N30-8480 group can effectively amplify SDLY23-1742 and BJ23-2652 strains. However, when N30-1150 (primer-probe combination number 2) and N30-8480 (primer-probe combination number 16) are combined for dual detection, the amplification ability of the N30-8480 group for these two strains disappears. This phenomenon may be related to the mutual inhibition between the primers and probes.

[0085] Furthermore, contrary to the aforementioned mutual inhibition phenomenon, combining individual primers and probes can actually increase the number of amplifiable strains. For example... Figure 4B As shown, primer-probe combination N30-12620 (numbered 20) and primer-probe combination N30-12750 (numbered 21) are used in single detection (e.g.) Figure 4B In the samples a and b), group N30-12620 showed no amplification signal against either GDCZ22-1580 or HNZK24-2680 strains. However, when these two primers and probes were combined (e.g., ...), ... Figure 4B In group c), the N30-12620 group was able to successfully amplify both strains. This phenomenon may be related to the synergistic effect between the primers and probes.

[0086] To complicate matters further, some primer-probe combinations are incompatible with any other primer-probe combination. For example... Figure 4C As shown, the N30-1750 group (primer-probe combination number 4) and the N30-2050 group (primer-probe combination number 6) in single detection (e.g.) Figure 4C Both a and b in the above can amplify their respective target strains normally, but when they are combined (e.g., ... Figure 4C In section c), the N30-2050 group showed no amplification signal for any strain. To further verify this incompatibility, the N30-2050 group was tested with primer-probe combinations from all other different channels. The results showed that this group showed no amplification signal in any combination. This phenomenon may be related to severe mutual interference between primers and probes. This interference may stem from factors such as high homology, complementarity, or steric hindrance between primer-probe sequences, preventing the primers and probes from binding properly to the target template during the reaction, thus failing to initiate the amplification reaction.

[0087] After repeated testing and verification, the incompatible primer probe was finally retained for single detection to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection results. In order to further optimize the primer probe combination, on the basis of the real-time fluorescent RT-PCR detection method, considering the cost of using the kit and the position of the primer probe, etc., the primer probe combination was strictly screened and optimized. Through careful comparison and analysis of the amplification efficiency, sensitivity and other key parameters of different combinations, 15 groups of optimal primer probe combinations were finally selected, and they were combined into 7 groups of duplex detection combinations (combination 1: primer probe combination No. 2 + primer probe combination No. 11; combination 3: primer probe combination No. 3 + primer probe combination No. 7; combination 4: primer probe combination No. 4 + primer probe combination No. 9; combination 5: primer probe combination No. 14 + primer probe combination No. 27; combination 6: primer probe combination No. 13 + primer probe combination No. 16; combination 7: primer probe combination No. 20 + primer probe combination No. 21; combination 8: primer probe combination No. 22 (N30-13270) + primer probe combination No. 25 (N30-14630)) + 1 group of single detection combination (combination 2: primer probe combination No. 6) (in which the primer probe No. 8 (N30-4750) was removed) for the development of the kit (Figures 5-7).

[0088] 5. Kit development and iteration

[0089] After the optimization of the primer probe combination, it was assembled into a kit for actual application testing. The test kit at least includes the main components: negative control, positive control, nuclease-free water, RT-PCR reaction solution, reverse transcriptase and Taq enzyme mixed solution, 15 groups of primer probe single mixed solution or duplex mixed solution, etc. However, some problems were found during the test. For example, the V1 kit developed, 15 groups of primer probe pairing combinations were formed into 7 groups of duplex detection combinations and 1 group of single detection combination (see Figures 5-7 for specific combination methods), and after assembly, a comprehensive test was carried out.

[0090] Specifically, the N30-13270P-HEX group in the duplex combination 8 (No. 22 (N30-13270) + No. 25 (N30-14630)) in the V1 kit did not appear after assembly. The phenomenon of amplification, which is clearly shown in Figure 5A However, before assembly, this combination can successfully amplify the target template Figure 5B), indicating that the problem may have occurred during assembly or other components of the kit affected the primer probe. This difference in performance before and after formed a sharp contrast, which attracted our high attention. In order to solve this problem, various methods were tried. First, considering that the quality of primer probe synthesis may be the root of the problem, the V2 kit was re-synthesized by Universal Biological (Anhui) Co., Ltd. all primers-probes, instead of the original supplier Suzhou Jinyuzhi Biological Technology Co., Ltd. and Kunshan Punopu Biological Technology Co., Ltd. However, the comparison of test results before and after assembly showed that the problem was still not solved( Figure 6A and Figure 6B ), which indicated that the problem may not be caused entirely by the quality of synthesis, but may be related to other factors of the kit. After further analysis and adjustment, the duplex combination 8 was optimized in V3 kit, adjusted to No. 4 (N30-1750) + No. 25 (N30-14630), while the duplex combination 4 was adjusted to No. 9 (N30-4920) + No. 22 (N30-13270). After this adjustment, the test results showed the expected( Figure 7A and Figure 7B ), indicating that the new combination could amplify normally, solving the previous problem. This result also further verified the importance of primer probe combination optimization for the performance of the kit.

[0091] Through this series of tests and adjustments, the primer probe combination scheme of V3 kit was finally determined, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the kit in actual application. This process not only solved the problem, but also provided valuable experience and reference for the production and application of subsequent kits.
