Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of testing technology for the parasite-killing ability of fiber fabrics, specifically relating to a method for testing the parasite-killing ability of fiber fabrics. Background Technology
[0002] With societal development, people are increasingly in contact with their environment. Whether working outdoors, traveling, or keeping pets at home, we are constantly in contact with various invisible parasites. These close encounters can lead to potential risks—parasitic infections. We may come into contact with unknown substances containing parasites in the external environment, or at home, through contact with sofas, beds, or pets. People consider wearing certain fabrics to protect themselves from these risks. However, are these fabrics, such as clothing and sofa upholstery, truly effective against parasites? How can we test whether these fibers kill parasites? Currently, there aren't many relevant testing methods available on the market for insect repellency. Some methods test the repellency properties of the material, while others use a dissecting microscope to directly observe the number of live insects remaining after the actual fiber fabric comes into contact with the insect. However, these methods are only suitable for fabrics with odors or containing leaching insecticides, and there will be errors in counting. Some methods use vat dyes to stain the parasite's metabolic products, and then use a spectrophotometer or ELISA reader to measure the absorbance to roughly determine the number of live insects. These methods are also subject to unstable factors such as the toxicity of reaction additives to cells, the limitations of light on detection conditions, and the easy loss of cells during separation after culture in the culture medium, which will more or less cause inaccurate test calculations. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Purpose of the invention: In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for detecting the parasite-killing ability of fiber fabrics, which can significantly improve the accuracy of the detection method for the parasite-killing ability of fiber fabrics.
[0004] Technical Solution: To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0005] A method for detecting the parasite-killing ability of fiber fabrics includes the following steps:
[0006] (1) Pretreatment of fiber fabric to remove biological interference factors;
[0007] (2) Prepare several groups of parasite solutions using the gradient dilution method, plot a standard curve, and determine the optimal concentration of the solution;
[0008] (3) The fiber fabric and the control fabric were respectively immersed in the parasite solution with the optimal concentration of the insect solution and cultured by shaking;
[0009] (4) After the culture is completed, take insect liquid samples, dilute them, prepare qPCR reaction system, and perform PCR amplification;
[0010] (5) The parasite load in the insect fluid samples was calculated using the ΔΔCT method, including insect fluid samples soaked in fiber fabric and insect fluid samples soaked in control fabric, and the kill rate was calculated.
[0011] As a specific implementation plan, in step (1), the pretreatment includes high-pressure steam sterilization or ultraviolet irradiation.
[0012] Preferably, the conditions for the high-pressure steam sterilization treatment are: 121±5℃, 0.1±0.02MPa, 30±2min; and the ultraviolet sterilization irradiation time is 1.5-2.5h.
[0013] As a specific implementation plan, in step (2), the method for selecting the concentration of the parasite fluid includes: preparing a standard parasite fluid, diluting it 5 to 6 times in a 10-fold gradient, creating a standard curve, determining that the activity of the parasite fluid meets the requirements by the amplification factor and the slope of the curve, and selecting the concentration value closest to the standard according to the standard curve.
[0014] As a specific implementation plan, in step (3), the parasite is selected from Toxoplasma gondii, and the concentration of the parasite fluid is 10. 5 pcs / ML.
[0015] As a specific implementation plan, in step (3), the control fabric is selected from fiber fabrics that have no ability to kill parasites.
[0016] As a specific implementation plan, in step (3), the conditions for the shaking culture are: temperature 30±37℃, 100~120rpm, shaking reaction for 10-14h.
[0017] As a specific implementation plan, in step (4), the qPCR reaction system includes insect fluid sample, upstream primer, downstream primer, buffer solution and enzyme-free water.
[0018] As a specific implementation plan, the PCR amplification conditions in step (4) are as follows:
[0019] Stage 1: 95℃, 5min;
[0020] Stage 2: 95℃, 30s; 55℃, 30s; 72℃, 60s; (40 cycles)
[0021] Stage 3: 72℃, 5min;
[0022] Stage 4: 25℃, 5min.
[0023] As a specific implementation plan, in step (5), the parasite load of the insect liquid sample soaked in the fiber fabric is set as the experimental group load, and the parasite load of the insect liquid sample soaked in the control fabric is set as the control group load. The killing rate is (control group load - experimental group load) / control group load * 100%.
[0024] Beneficial effects: Compared with existing technologies, this invention is based on the specific properties of fiber fabrics that kill parasite growth. It innovatively combines the shaking method with the qPCR method, selects the optimal concentration of insect solution and shakes the fiber fabric for a certain period of time, and then uses the qPCR amplification reaction to intuitively calculate the killing rate of the fiber fabric against parasites from the difference in the labeled gene load between the experimental sample and the control sample. This allows for a more accurate assessment of the killing effect of the fiber fabric on parasite growth from a genetic perspective. Attached Figure Description
