Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a primer pair, probe, complete set of reagents, and preparation method for detecting silkworm nucleovirus. Background Technology
[0002] Bombyx mori densovirus (BmBDV) is one of the main pathogens causing viral diseases in silkworms, often resulting in huge economic losses and seriously affecting the stability of silkworm production. Establishing early diagnostic methods will buy valuable time for the prevention and control of silkworm viral diseases.
[0003] BmBDV belongs to the Dividoviridae family and can cause silkworm dysplasia, manifesting as anorexia, empty head, and softening. In the early stages of infection, it presents similar symptoms to Bombyx morinfectious flacherie virus (BmIFV), making accurate early identification of the pathogen challenging solely based on the symptoms of infected silkworms and rearing experience. Nucleic acid detection is a major future direction for identifying silkworm viral diseases; however, due to operational complexity, commercially available reagent kits for detecting BmBDV are not yet available.
[0004] Currently, there are no reports in domestic or international literature on the detection of BmBDV using real-time quantitative PCR based on pre-set primers and probes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide primer pairs, probes, a complete set of reagents for detecting silkworm blastoma virus and their preparation method. Based on real-time quantitative PCR technology, a complete set of reagents for detecting BmBDV infection is established. The pre-set primer pairs and probes will effectively reduce the redundant operations that occur when configuring the detection system.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a primer pair for detecting silkworm nucleoid virus is provided, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the upstream primer is CTACGGGAGGCTTGTTGGTT; and the nucleotide sequence of the downstream primer is ACTTTACCATTTGGTTATAAGGGTG.
[0007] The present invention also provides a probe for detecting silkworm nucleoid virus, the nucleotide sequence of which is 5'-TCAATTACAACATCATCCA-3';
[0008] The probe is labeled with a FAM fluorescent group at its 5' end and a non-fluorescent quencher group NFQ-MGB at its 3' end.
[0009] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned primer pairs for detecting silkworm blastocystis virus or the above-mentioned probes for detecting silkworm blastocystis virus in the preparation of a complete set of reagents or kits for detecting silkworm blastocystis virus.
[0010] The present invention also provides a complete set of reagents for detecting silkworm blastocystis virus, including the primer pairs for detecting silkworm blastocystis virus and / or the probes for detecting silkworm blastocystis virus.
[0011] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned complete set of reagents for detecting silkworm nucleoid virus, comprising the following steps:
[0012] S1. Mix and disperse Pluronic F127, trehalose and DEPC water evenly, let stand overnight until the solution is clear, and add DEPC water to make up to 100 mL to obtain the buffer solution;
[0013] S2. Dilute the upstream primer of the primer pair with buffer, aliquot it into the bottom of a PCR tube, transfer it to room temperature and let it stand for 5-10 minutes to solidify into a transparent gel. Allow it to air dry at room temperature, and then repeat the above steps to aliquot the downstream primer and probe to obtain a complete set of reagents.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the mass ratio of Pluronic F127 to trehalose is 15-25:5.
[0015] Further, in step S2, the nucleotide sequence of the upstream primer of the primer pair is TATACCTGGGCACACTTGCG; the nucleotide sequence of the downstream primer is CCTCGCTCTCTTAGGCGTTC; and the nucleotide sequence of the probe is 5'-TAGTCAGCTAGTAGCGCA-3'; wherein, the 5' end of the probe is labeled with a FAM fluorescent group, and the 3' end is labeled with a non-fluorescent quencher group NFQ-MGB.
[0016] Furthermore, ensure that each PCR tube contains complete primer pairs (400 nM) and probe (200 nM) sequences.
[0017] This invention also provides a method for detecting silkworm nucleoid virus using the above-mentioned complete set of reagents, comprising the following steps:
[0018] (1) Extract the genome of the midgut and body wall tissue of the silkworm to be tested as a template;
[0019] (2) Prepare the reaction system in the PCR tubes containing the complete set of reagents;
[0020] (3) Place the reaction system in a real-time quantitative PCR instrument to perform the real-time quantitative PCR reaction and collect the fluorescence signal;
[0021] (4) If an amplification curve appears in the reaction system, the sample to be tested contains the pathogen corresponding to the amplification curve; if there is no amplification curve in the reaction system, the sample to be tested does not contain the corresponding pathogen.
[0022] Furthermore, in step (2), the volume ratio of Reaction Mix (2×), Taq Mix, ROX ReferenceDye and template in the reaction system is 12.5:0.5:0.1:2; ddH2O is subsequently added to make up to 25 µL.
[0023] Furthermore, in step (2), the reaction system may contain other reagents required for the detection of BmBDV infection by real-time quantitative PCR, specifically the reagents in the Superscript III platinum one step qRT-PCR kit, such as 2×Reaction Mix, Superscript III platinum Taq Mix, and ROX Reference Dye.
[0024] Furthermore, in step (3), the PCR reaction program is 4 ℃ for 2 min; 50 ℃ for 15 min; 95 ℃ for 2 min; 95 ℃ for 15 s, 60 ℃ for 45 s, for 40 cycles.
[0025] Furthermore, in step (3), the real-time PCR instrument is an Applied Biosystems 7500 model.
[0026] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. The complete set of reagents of the present invention can realize the early diagnosis of BmBDV infection, and buy valuable time to block the spread of the virus.
[0028] 2. This invention can significantly reduce the operational complexity of nucleic acid detection by pre-setting primer pairs and probes.
[0029] 3. The complete set of reagents of the present invention has high specificity and sensitivity in detecting BmBDV infection. The detection process is simple, fast and accurate, which is of great significance for the early diagnosis of silkworm pustulosis.
[0030] 4. The template sequence used in this invention for designing primers spans both structural and non-structural protein coding regions. This not only overcomes the disadvantage that structural sequences are prone to forming secondary structures that hinder primer binding, but also reduces the potential lack of specificity in non-structural sequences. It can effectively cope with viral mutations and balance amplification efficiency and specificity. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The probe used to detect silkworm nucleovirus has a nucleotide sequence of 5'-TCAATTACAACATCATCCA-3'; the 5' end of the probe is labeled with a FAM fluorescent group, and the 3' end is labeled with a non-fluorescent quencher group NFQ-MGB.
[0041] The preparation method of the above-mentioned complete set of reagents for detecting silkworm nucleoid virus includes the following steps:
[0042] S1. Mix 20 g Pluronic F127, 5 g trehalose and DEPC water pre-cooled to 4 ℃, vortex or shake vigorously, let stand at 4 ℃ overnight until the solution is clear, and add pre-cooled DEPC water to make up to 100 mL to obtain the buffer solution.
[0043] S2. Dilute the upstream primer of the pre-cooled primer pair with buffer, aliquot it into the bottom of a PCR tube, and incubate at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to solidify into a transparent gel. Allow it to air dry at room temperature. Then, repeat the above steps to aliquot the downstream primer and probe sequentially, ensuring that each PCR tube contains complete primer (400 nM) and probe (200 nM) sequences to obtain a complete reagent kit. Figure 1 As shown.
[0044] The primer pairs and probes described above were designed using conventional methods based on the BmBDV genome sequence indexed in GenBank. The template sequences used to design the primers spanned both structural and non-structural protein coding regions. Conserved regions were selected to synthesize the pUC57-NSP plasmid standard.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] A method for detecting silkworm nucleovirus using the above-mentioned complete reagent kit includes the following steps:
[0047] (1) Extract the genome of the midgut and body wall tissue of the silkworm to be tested as a template;
[0048] (2) Prepare the reaction system in the PCR tube of the complete set of reagents; the reaction system contains 12.5 µL of Reaction Mix (2×), 0.5 µL of Taq Mix, 0.1 µL of ROX Reference Dye, 2 µL of template, and add ddH2O to make up to 25 µL;
