Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to a primer-probe combination, kit, and application for the simultaneous detection of African swine fever virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. Background Technology
[0002] African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and deadly disease of pigs caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). ASFV is an enveloped, single-molecule, linear, double-stranded DNA virus with a genome length of approximately 170kb–193kb. ASF is characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates, resulting in enormous economic losses. Currently, there is a lack of effective vaccines and specific treatments, making ASF one of the most serious diseases threatening the pig farming industry.
[0003] Diarrhea is a major cause of piglet mortality in intensive pig farms, and porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), is the leading cause. PED is a highly contagious intestinal disease characterized by vomiting, watery diarrhea, and dehydration. It has a rapid onset, spreads quickly, has a high mortality rate, can occur year-round but is more prevalent in winter and spring, and vaccine control is not ideal. Medium and large pigs show mild symptoms but can carry and shed the virus for extended periods; recovered pigs can shed the virus for up to two months.
[0004] Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a common infectious disease of pigs caused by Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). It primarily manifests as reproductive disorders in pregnant sows, such as abortion, stillbirth, and mummified fetuses. Piglets and finishing pigs develop respiratory diseases. The disease has a significant impact on piglets, clinically presenting with pneumonia, slow growth, and increased mortality. Clinically, this disease also presents with cyanosis of the ear skin, hence the name "blue ear disease."
[0005] RT-PCR is widely used for detecting pig-related diseases due to its advantages of speed, high sensitivity, and good specificity compared to other pathogen detection methods. Although there are kits for single detection of African swine fever virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, the operation is cumbersome, costly, and has low sensitivity. There is an urgent need to develop a kit that can simultaneously detect African swine fever virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

[0084] The preparation steps of the detection template are as follows: (1) The original plasmid (specifically, plasmids containing target sequences of African swine fever virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, or porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus) is about 4µg / tube (dry powder state), add 400µL of 0.01%TE-SDS, shake to mix, and the liquid is used as the original plasmid (concentration is 1×10). -2 Use (µg / µL). (2) Take 10 µL of the original plasmid and add 990 µL of 0.01% TE-SDS, labeling it as 10⁻²; (3) Take 10 µL of plasmid with a concentration of 10⁻² and add 990 µL of 0.01% TE-SDS, labeling it as 10⁻⁴; (4) Take 10 µL of plasmid with a concentration of 10⁻⁴ and add 990 µL of 0.01% TE-SDS, labeling it as 10⁻⁶; (5) Take 100 µL of plasmid with a concentration of 10⁻⁶ and add 900 µL of 0.01% TE-SDS, labeling it as 10⁻⁷; (6) Take 100 µL of plasmid with a concentration of 10⁻⁷ and add 900 µL of 0.01% TE-SDS, labeling it as 10⁻⁸; (7) Take 100 µL of plasmid with a concentration of 10⁻⁸ and add 900 µL of 0.01% TE-SDS, labeling it as 10⁻⁹ (concentration is 1×10⁻⁶). -11 µg / µL).
[0085] Select plasmid templates of 10⁻⁶, 10⁻⁷, and 10⁻⁸ (apply plasmid concentrations of 10⁻⁶ and 10⁻⁷ in 2 replicates each, and plasmid concentration of 10⁻⁸ in 4 replicates each), and use the following reaction system and procedure to detect African swine fever virus.
[0086] Select plasmid templates of 10⁻⁷, 10⁻⁸, and 10⁻⁹ (spot 2 replicates for each of the 10⁻⁷ and 10⁻⁸ plasmid concentrations, and spot 4 replicates for the 10⁻⁹ plasmid concentration), and use the following reaction system and procedure to detect porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.
[0087] Select plasmid templates of 10⁻⁷, 10⁻⁸, and 10⁻⁹ (apply plasmid concentrations of 10⁻⁷ and 10⁻⁸ in 2 replicates each, and plasmid concentration of 10⁻⁹ in 4 replicates each), and use the following reaction system and procedure to detect porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.
[0088] The reaction systems used for screening primer and probe sets for African swine fever virus are shown in Table 2, the reaction systems used for screening primer and probe sets for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus are shown in Table 3, and the reaction systems used for screening primer and probe sets for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus are shown in Table 4.

[0103] The screening results of primer and probe sets for detecting African swine fever virus are shown in Table 6 and Figure 1-4 As shown, primer probe sets 2-4 all have good detection effects. From the low concentration sample 10-8, primer probe sets 2-4 can detect all samples. Primer probe set 4 has better linearity and CT value. Therefore, primer probe set 4 was selected for subsequent experiments.
[0104] The screening results of primer and probe sets for detecting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus are shown in Table 7 and... Figure 5-10 As shown, considering the Ct values and detection rates of low-concentration samples (10⁻⁹), only primer-probe set 1 can achieve full detection, and its Ct value is also higher. Therefore, primer-probe set 1 was selected for subsequent experiments.
[0105] The screening results of the primer and probe sets used to detect porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus are shown in Table 8 and... Figure 11-16 As shown, it can be seen that, based on the Ct values and detection rates of low-concentration samples 10-9, only primer probe sets 4-5 can detect all samples. The Ct value of primer probe set 5 is 1.5 Ct higher, so primer probe set 5 is selected.

[0132] The results are shown in Table 14. Proline concentrations ranging from 10 to 40 mM all showed a certain degree of enhancement to the PCR reaction, with 20 mM being the optimal concentration. At this concentration, the detection sensitivity for African swine fever virus was 4.2 × 10⁻⁶. -13 The detection sensitivity for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is 8.3 × 10 µg / µL. -13 µg / µL, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus sensitivity 4.2×10 -13 µg / µL.
[0133] 2. Validation experiment of bovine serum albumin as an enhancer
[0134] Bovine serum albumin was added to the reaction system shown in Table 9 at final concentrations of 0.05, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg / mL to verify that bovine serum albumin can effectively increase the sensitivity of PCR detection. The detection template used was the African swine fever virus standard plasmid 10⁻⁹⁻¹:7 prepared in Example 1 (i.e., a concentration of 0.125 × 10⁻⁶). -11 µg / µL), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus standard plasmid 10⁻⁹⁻¹:3 (i.e., concentration of 0.25 × 10⁻⁶ µg / µL), -11 µg / µL), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus standard plasmid 10⁻⁹⁻¹:7 (i.e., concentration of 0.125 × 10⁻⁶ µg / µL), -11(µg / µL), primers and probes used were primer set 4 for detecting African swine fever virus, primer set 1 for detecting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and primer set 5 for detecting porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. The reaction procedure is shown in Table 5.
[0135] Table 15
[0136]
[0137] The test results are shown in Table 15. As can be seen from the table, the concentration range of the stabilizer bovine serum albumin is 0.05-0.5 mg / mL, which can improve the detection effect. The optimal concentration is 0.25 mg / mL.
[0138] 3. Testing the effect of stabilizers and reinforcing agents on anti-interference.
[0139] Proline was added to the reaction system shown in Table 9 at a final concentration of 20 mM and bovine serum albumin at a final concentration of 0.25 mg / mL. Primers and probes used were primer set 4 for detecting African swine fever virus, primer set 1 for detecting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and primer set 5 for detecting porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. The reaction procedure is shown in Table 5.
[0140] The detection template is as follows: First, the standard plasmids 10⁻⁶ for African swine fever virus, 10⁻⁶ for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, 10⁻⁶ for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and 0.01% TE-SDS are mixed in a ratio of 1:1:1:7 to form a mixed plasmid 10⁻⁷. Then, the interfering substances, physiological saline, heme, purified mucin, and anhydrous ethanol are mixed in a ratio of 1:1:1:1 and then mixed with the mixed plasmid 10⁻⁷ in a volume ratio of 1:1. The final concentrations of physiological saline are 0.9% (v / v), heme is 10 μg / mL, purified mucin is 20 μg / mL, and anhydrous ethanol is 20% (v / v). 10 μL of the mixture is added to the reaction solution and mixed well before being loaded onto the instrument.
[0141] Table 16
[0142]
[0143] The results are shown in Table 16. As can be seen from the table, after adding 20 mM proline and 0.25 mg / mL bovine serum albumin, the amplification of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in the FAM channel, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in the HEX / VIC channel, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in the CY5 channel was not inhibited. The virus showed good anti-interference properties against interfering substances such as physiological saline, heme, purified mucin, and anhydrous ethanol.
[0144] Example 3 A kit for detecting African swine fever virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
[0145] This example provides a kit for simultaneously detecting African swine fever virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. The kit contains a primer-probe set 4 for detecting African swine fever virus at a concentration of 50 μM, a primer-probe set 1 for detecting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus at a concentration of 50 μM, a primer-probe set 5 for detecting porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus at a concentration of 50 μM, an internal standard NB primer-probe set at a concentration of 50 μM, 4× PCR buffer, a MgCl2 solution at a concentration of 1 mol / L, dNTPs at a concentration of 25 mmol / L, an RT enzyme at a concentration of 200 U / μL, a Taq enzyme at a concentration of 5 U / μL, proline, 5% bovine serum albumin, a negative control, and a positive control.
[0146] The negative control is water.
[0147] The positive control is the 3 standard plasmids prepared in Example 1.
[0148] The fluorescence PCR reaction system detected by the kit is shown in Table 17 below.
[0149] Table 17
[0150]
[0151] The fluorescence PCR reaction procedure is as shown in Table 5 in Example 1.
[0152] Sample result determination criteria:
[0153] 1. For the measured Ct value of the FAM channel ≤ 40, report as positive for ASFV; for the measured Ct value of the HEX / VIC channel ≤ 40, report as positive for PEDV; for the measured Ct value of the CY5 channel ≤ 40, report as positive for PRRSV;
[0154] 2. For no Ct value measured in the FAM, HEX / VIC, and CY5 channels, and at the same time the Ct value of the ROX channel ≤ 35, report as negative for ASFV, PEDV, and PRRSV;
[0155] 3. When 40 < Ct value ≤ 45 in the FAM, HEX / VIC, and CY5 channels and the Ct value of the ROX channel ≤ 35, it is judged as suspicious, and it is recommended to recheck, with the recheck result as the standard (re-perform nucleic acid extraction and PCR detection);
[0156] 4. If the internal standard Ct value is >35 or not displayed, the test result of the sample is invalid. This may be due to PCR inhibitors. It is recommended to serially dilute the sample and retest or resample and retest.
[0157] The standard plasmids 10⁻⁶ for African swine fever virus, 10⁻⁶ for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and 10⁻⁶ for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus were mixed in a 1:1:1 volume ratio and used as a detection template. The results of the detection using the above kit are as follows: Figure 17 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that three types of viruses can be accurately detected.
