Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vitro detection technology, and in particular to a primer and probe combination for detecting four viruses in the feline digestive tract, their applications, and a kit. Background Technology

[0002] Gastrointestinal diseases in cats are a common problem in veterinary clinics. Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), feline enteric coronavirus (FCoV), feline astrovirus (FeAstV), and feline bocavirus type 1 (FBoV) are the main pathogens causing feline gastrointestinal infections. These viruses are highly contagious and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, and in severe cases, even death.

[0003] Currently, the detection of these viruses mostly employs a single detection method, requiring multiple sampling and testing, which is inefficient, costly, and cannot meet the needs of rapid clinical diagnosis. For example, feline panleukopenia virus detection typically uses colloidal gold test strips or quantitative real-time PCR; feline coronavirus detection relies on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); and feline astrovirus and feline bocavirus detection require separate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.

[0004] Therefore, there is currently a lack of rapid methods that can simultaneously detect the above four viruses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a primer and probe combination for detecting four viruses in the feline digestive tract, along with their applications and a reagent kit.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Specifically, feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) belongs to the parvoviridae family. It is a non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus with strong resistance to the environment. It is mainly transmitted through direct contact (such as saliva, feces, and urine) or indirect contact. Clinical symptoms include high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and a significant decrease in white blood cell count. Common detection methods include clinical symptom observation, complete blood count (CBC), FPV test strips, and PCR testing.

[0033] Feline enteric coronavirus (FCoV) belongs to the Coronaviridae family and has two biotypes: the more pathogenic feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and the less pathogenic feline enteric coronavirus (FECV). It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Clinical symptoms include mild to moderate diarrhea, which may lead to fever, weight loss, and anemia. Common detection methods include clinical symptoms and medical history, and laboratory tests (viral testing, blood tests, and ascites examination).

[0034] Feline astrovirus (FeAstV) belongs to the genus *Astrovirus* and is typically associated with intestinal infection. Its specific transmission route is unclear, but it may be related to contact with felines. Clinical symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, but asymptomatic infection is also possible. Currently, there is no specific detection method.

[0035] Feline bocavirus type 1 (FBoV) belongs to the parvoviridae family and is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus. FBoV exhibits genetic diversity, and its specific transmission routes are not fully understood, but it may be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. It is commonly found in gastrointestinal samples from cats exhibiting diarrhea. Its primary clinical symptom is diarrhea in cats, which may be associated with severe enteritis or hemorrhagic enteritis. It is frequently co-infected with other viruses, exacerbating diarrhea symptoms. Common detection methods include TaqMan-based real-time quantitative PCR and SYBR Green I-based double-stranded real-time PCR.

[0036] The current methods for detecting the above four viruses have the following disadvantages: (1) Cumbersome operation: multiple sampling and testing are required, increasing the workload of clinical staff. (2) High risk of missed detection: a single test cannot cover multiple pathogens, resulting in low efficiency of comprehensive diagnosis. (3) High cost: repeated testing consumes more reagents and consumables.

[0037] In view of this, the present invention proposes a primer and probe combination for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses. The primer and probe combination for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses includes a first combination, a second combination, a third combination, and a fourth combination, wherein: the first combination includes an upstream primer for FeAstV_F, a downstream primer for FeAstV_R, and a FeAstV_P probe targeting feline astrovirus. The nucleotide sequence of the FeAstV_F upstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, the nucleotide sequence of the FeAstV_R downstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, and the nucleotide sequence of the FeAstV_P probe is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3; the second combination includes an upstream primer for FPV_F, a downstream primer for FPV_R, and an FPV_P probe targeting feline panleukopenia virus. The nucleotide sequence of the FPV_F upstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4, the nucleotide sequence of the FPV_R downstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 5, and the nucleotide sequence of the FPV_P probe is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4. As shown in SEQ ID NO. 6; the third combination includes an upstream primer for FCoV_F, a downstream primer for FCoV_R, and an FCoV_P probe targeting feline enteric coronaviruses. The nucleotide sequence of the FCoV_F upstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 7, the nucleotide sequence of the FCoV_R downstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 8, and the nucleotide sequence of the FCoV_P probe is shown in SEQ ID NO. 9; the fourth combination includes an upstream primer for FBoV_F, a downstream primer for FBoV_R, and an FBoV_P probe targeting feline bocavirus type 1. The nucleotide sequence of the FBoV_F upstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 10, the nucleotide sequence of the FBoV_R downstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO. 11, and the nucleotide sequence of the FBoV_P probe is shown in SEQ ID NO. 12.

[0039]

[0040] In the technical solution of this invention, the primer and probe combination for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses includes a first combination, a second combination, a third combination, and a fourth combination. The four combinations are designed with upstream primers, downstream primers, and probes for feline astrovirus, feline panleukopenia virus, feline enteric coronavirus, and feline bocavirus type 1, respectively. Combined with multiplex PCR technology, four viruses, FPV, FCoV, FeAstV, and FBoV, can be detected simultaneously, shortening the diagnostic time and reducing the detection cost. At the same time, the primer and probe combination design of this invention can avoid cross-reactions during the amplification process, improving the sensitivity and accuracy of detection.

[0041] Specifically, this invention obtains the gene sequences of feline astrovirus, feline panleukopenia virus, feline enteric coronavirus, and feline bocavirus type 1 from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and designs specific primers and probes from conserved regions of these viruses. The sequences of the conserved regions selected for the four viruses are shown in SEQ ID No. 13, SEQ ID No. 14, SEQ ID No. 15, and SEQ ID No. 16, respectively.

[0050] It should be noted that the primers and probes of the present invention are designed to be specific primers and probes for the conserved regions of four viruses, ensuring amplification specificity. Combining with the multiplex PCR technology, it can simultaneously screen four viruses, shorten the diagnostic time, have a relatively high detection efficiency, save reagent and labor costs; and the probability of cross-reaction between different primers and probes is relatively low, and the detection accuracy is good; at the same time, the primer and probe combination of the present invention can detect a virus load as low as 10 cp / μL, and the detection sensitivity is relatively high.

[0051] This invention also provides the application of the aforementioned primer and probe combination for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses in the preparation of products for detecting these four viruses. Therefore, it possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned primer and probe combination for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses, which will not be elaborated further here. It is understood that the products for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses include kits, test strips, etc.

[0052] This invention also provides a kit for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses, comprising the aforementioned primer and probe combination for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses. Therefore, it possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned primer and probe combination for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0053] In some embodiments, the kit for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses includes a PCR reaction solution and a standard template mixture; the PCR reaction solution includes the aforementioned primer and probe combination for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses. That is, the primer and probe combination for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses can be directly incorporated into the PCR reaction solution.

[0054] In some embodiments, the standard template mixture comprises plasmid DNA from feline astrovirus, feline panleukopenia virus, feline enteric coronavirus, or feline bocavirus type 1. The standard template mixture is a positive standard.

[0055] In some embodiments, the PCR reaction solution includes PCR reagents and the aforementioned primer and probe combinations for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses: the concentration of primers and probes in the first combination is 0.4 μM / μL; and / or, the concentration of primers and probes in the second combination is 0.4 μM / μL; and / or, the concentration of primers and probes in the third combination is 0.4 μM / μL; and / or, the concentration of primers and probes in the fourth combination is 0.4 μM / μL. It is understood that in the PCR reaction solution, the concentrations of primers and probes in the four combinations within the aforementioned ranges ensure a low probability of cross-reaction, effectively distinguishing the four viruses, resulting in high accuracy of the detection results. Furthermore, the primer and probe system at these concentrations can detect viral loads as low as 10 cp / μL, exhibiting high detection sensitivity. Preferably, in some embodiments, the PCR reagents include premixed lyophilizable probe-based qPCR reagents.

[0056] Understandably, PCR reagents can be prepared in multiple batches. During testing, primer and probe combinations for detecting four feline digestive tract viruses can be mixed with one batch of PCR reagent to obtain a PCR reaction solution. At the same time, a standard template mixture can be mixed with one batch of PCR reagent as a positive control.

[0057] This invention also provides a method for detecting four viruses in the feline digestive tract. Fluorescent probes are used to distinguish different amplification products, and a real-time quantitative PCR system (SLAN-96P) is used for detection. Results are interpreted based on the Ct value of the fluorescence channels (Ct value < 35 is interpreted as positive; Ct value ≥ 35 or no amplification curve is interpreted as negative). FPV is the FAM channel, FeAstV is the HEX channel, FCoV is the ROX channel, and FBoV is the CY5 channel.

[0058] Results interpretation: Fluorescent probe method was used to distinguish different viral amplification products, with each virus corresponding to a different channel.

[0059] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

The primer and probe combinations for detecting the four feline digestive tract viruses are mixed with one premixed lyophilizable probe-based qPCR reagent to obtain a PCR reaction solution. The specific components and concentrations of the PCR reaction solution are shown in Table 2. The standard template mixture is a mixture of plasmid DNA from feline astrovirus, feline panleukopenia virus, feline enteric coronavirus, and feline bocavirus type 1. Each standard template is mixed with one premixed lyophilizable probe-based qPCR reagent to obtain a positive control. The positive controls for FPV, FeAstV, FCoV, and FBoV are designated as Positive Control 1, Positive Control 2, Positive Control 3, and Positive Control 4, respectively.

[0073] Performance testing

[0074] The sensitivity of methods for detecting four viruses in the feline digestive tract was analyzed.

[0075] Sensitivity was determined by detection limit. Different concentrations of plasmids were prepared for four different feline digestive tract viruses. The plasmids were synthesized by Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Multiplex PCR detection was performed using the detection kit described in Example 1. The plasmids of each virus were diluted to five concentration gradients: 2000 copies / mL, 1000 copies / mL, 500 copies / mL, 250 copies / mL, and 125 copies / mL. Samples were prepared by mixing the plasmids of the same concentration in equal proportions, with virus concentrations of 500 copies / mL, 250 copies / mL, 125 copies / mL, 62.5 copies / mL, and 31.25 copies / mL. The samples were added according to the kit and then tested. The detection method was the same as in Example 2. The results are shown in Table 4.
