Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of HIV nucleic acid detection technology, specifically relating to an HIV1 / 2 total nucleic acid detection kit based on isothermal amplification + CRISPR and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Existing HIV testing technologies mainly include immunological testing and nucleic acid testing.
[0003] Immunological tests primarily target HIV antibodies or antigens. Although they are simple to operate and widely used, they suffer from insufficient sensitivity during the "window period" after viral infection, making them unsuitable for early detection and difficult to distinguish between active and past infections.
[0004] Nucleic acid detection (NAT) directly targets viral nucleic acid, effectively shortening the window period and can be used for viral load monitoring and antiviral efficacy evaluation. Currently, the mainstream nucleic acid amplification technology is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, PCR-based technologies have the following limitations:
[0005] ① The testing process is time-consuming: the PCR testing process takes more than 2 hours and requires high skills from the operators.
[0006] ② The detection targets are relatively singular, making comprehensive assessment difficult: Most existing nucleic acid detection methods are typically designed for HIV-1, lacking simultaneous detection for HIV-2. Furthermore, many methods only specifically detect viral RNA (for diagnosis and viral load analysis) or proviral DNA (for latent reservoir assessment), with few methods capable of simultaneously covering both RNA and DNA, i.e., "total nucleic acid" detection. This necessitates separate testing when a comprehensive assessment of viral infection status is required (e.g., identification of new infections, detection of latent infections), increasing operational complexity and cost. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the challenges of simultaneously detecting HIV-1 and HIV-2, as well as viral RNA and proviral DNA (i.e., total nucleic acid) in a single detection system, and the excessive time and complexity of HIV total nucleic acid detection in existing technologies, this invention provides an HIV1 / 2 total nucleic acid detection kit based on isothermal amplification + CRISPR and its application. This kit achieves simultaneous detection of HIV-1 and HIV-2 total nucleic acids in a single detection system, with short detection time, simple operation, high sensitivity, and high specificity. The kit includes RT-isothermal amplification reagents and CRISPR reagents for detecting HIV-1 and HIV-2 total nucleic acids in samples. The amplification and detection of HIV-1 and HIV-2 total nucleic acids are achieved through isothermal amplification primers and crRNA targeting the highly conserved long terminal repeat (LTR) regions and polymerase (Pol) gene (dual targets) of the HIV-1 and HIV-2 genomes. The kit also controls sample validity by detecting an internal reference human β-actin gene. The detection principle is as follows: After reverse transcription and isothermal amplification at 42°C, the amplified product is transferred into a CRISPR detection system and incubated at 37°C. When the target sequence is present in the amplified product, crRNA guides the Cas protein to specifically recognize the target, activating its para-cleavage activity, resulting in the reporter probe being cleaved and generating a fluorescent signal. If the target sequence is not present, the Cas protein remains inactive, and the reporter probe is not cleaved. The final fluorescence intensity is related to the amount of amplified target nucleic acid, and qualitative detection can be performed through real-time fluorescence monitoring.
[0008] Isothermal amplification (AFA) is a molecular biology method that achieves efficient amplification of nucleic acid target sequences at a constant temperature. Unlike traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which requires cyclic temperature changes, isothermal amplification simplifies equipment requirements, increases detection speed, and is particularly suitable for rapid on-site detection and resource-constrained environments. Based on the core amplification mechanism, isothermal amplification techniques can be broadly classified into two categories: The first category relies on primer substitution to initiate repetitive template copies. These methods continuously substitute synthesized nucleic acid chains using enzymatic or chemical means, exposing new template sequences for primer binding, thereby achieving exponential amplification. Representative techniques include helicase-dependent amplification (HDA), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), recombinase-mediated amplification (RAA / RDA), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), rolling circle amplification (RCA), multiple substitution amplification (MDA), and cross-primer amplification (CPA). The second category relies on the continuous reuse or de novo synthesis of single primer molecules. These methods typically involve enzymes with strand substitution activity, enabling the continuous execution of a single primer or transcription process, producing a large number of copies. Representative techniques include strand substitution amplification (SDA), nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), and transcription-mediated amplification (TMA).
[0009] In this invention, the isothermal amplification reaction is one or more of the following: recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, rolling circle amplification, multiple substitution amplification, cross primer amplification, recombinase-mediated amplification, novel recombinase-dependent amplification, chain substitution amplification, and helicase-dependent amplification.
[0010] Among numerous technologies, recombinase-mediated amplification (RPA / RAA), represented by recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification, is a preferred option. Its core lies in mimicking the principle of homologous DNA recombination in vivo, utilizing the synergistic action of three key enzyme proteins: Recombinase (in some embodiments, uvsX or RecA derived from bacteria or fungi): binds to primers under the influence of cofactors to form a complex, scans double-stranded DNA, and mediates the pairing and substitution of primers with homologous template sequences, forming a "D-loop" structure; single-stranded DNA binding protein (in some embodiments, gp32): immediately stabilizes the substituted single-stranded DNA, preventing re-annealing; and strand-displacing DNA polymerase (in some embodiments, Bacillus subtilis DNA polymerase I or Staphylococcus aureus DNA polymerase I, i.e., Bsu or Sau): initiates synthesis at the 3' end of the primer and displaces the downstream DNA strand, achieving strand extension and substitution.
[0011] CRISPR (Regularly Spaced Clustered Short Palindromic Repeats) technology originates from an acquired immune system in prokaryotes (such as bacteria and archaea). This system integrates fragments of foreign viral or plasmid DNA into its own genome's CRISPR sequence, forming a "memory." When encountering the same invader again, guide RNA (crRNA) directs Cas proteins to specifically cleave the foreign genetic material, thus achieving defense. In recent years, especially CRISPR-Cas systems represented by Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13, have been revolutionaryly transformed into highly specific molecular diagnostic tools due to their superior "gene scissors" or "molecular detective" properties.
[0012] In the field of molecular diagnostics, Cas proteins with "side-cutting" activity have become the core engine. After completing their specific targeted cleavage (cis-cleavage), these proteins are activated to release a non-specific, continuous cleavage activity that can indiscriminately cleave reporter nucleic acid molecules in the surrounding environment (such as single-stranded DNA or RNA probes with fluorescent and quenching groups), thereby converting invisible nucleic acids into detectable fluorescent, colorimetric, or test strip signals.
[0013] The CRISPR-Cas system is highly specific due to its sequence recognition mechanism. crRNA must bind precisely to the target nucleic acid sequence via complementary base pairing to effectively activate the Cas protein, thereby enabling the efficient differentiation of single-base differences.
[0014] However, its sensitivity is limited: the CRISPR-Cas system itself is a "one-to-one" signal transducer. One target molecule activates one Cas protein, which in turn cleaves multiple reporter molecules to generate a signal. Although this linear amplification capability is considerable, its intrinsic sensitivity (usually in the pM to nM range) is still insufficient for reliable direct detection when faced with extremely low copy numbers that may exist in clinical samples (such as in early infection or treatment monitoring).
[0015] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0047] 1.

It can simultaneously cover the detection of total nucleic acid of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in one detection system, with short detection time and simple operation.
[0048] 2. This invention has high detection efficiency and enables rapid detection: By optimizing the steps and reagents, the total detection time is controlled within 50 minutes, which is significantly shorter than the traditional PCR method (more than 2 hours), making it suitable for rapid screening.
[0049] 3. The operation process of this invention is simplified and human error is reduced: the pre-set lyophilized reagents and standardized well plate design reduce the steps of reagent preparation and pipetting. Operators only need to perform sample extraction and liquid transfer, reducing manual operation steps and lowering the risk of operation error and nucleic acid aerosol contamination.
[0050] 4. This invention offers a broad detection range, enabling comprehensive assessment of HIV infection status. By optimizing isothermal amplification primer sequences and CRISPR detection crRNA sequences, establishing parallel amplification and detection channels, and optimizing reagent formulations, this invention achieves, for the first time, simultaneous detection and typing of total nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) for HIV-1 and HIV-2 in a single detection system. This overcomes the limitations of existing methods that can only detect a single type or category of nucleic acid, providing a more comprehensive detection method for early diagnosis, identification of new infections, and assessment of latent infections.
[0051] 5. This invention has low equipment dependence and wide applicability: It is based on detection using common instruments (such as fluorescence PCR instruments), which reduces dependence on special equipment and improves the applicability of the method. Both amplification and CRISPR detection are isothermal processes, which do not require complex thermal cyclers. Signal detection uses common fluorescence PCR instruments, and the method is easy to promote in grassroots laboratories.
[0052] 6. This invention boasts high specificity and sensitivity, delivering reliable results. By employing a CRISPR-Cas system for secondary specific identification of isothermal amplification products, this method achieves highly specific detection of the target sequence, accurately distinguishing between HIV-1 and HIV-2. The optimized lyophilized reagent formulation ensures the activity and stability of each reaction component, thereby guaranteeing the detection sensitivity of the entire integrated system. The detection limits are as follows: HIV-1 RNA up to 20 IU / mL, HIV-1 DNA up to 200 copies / mL, HIV-2 RNA up to 20 IU / mL, and HIV-2 DNA up to 200 copies / mL, far exceeding clinical testing standards.

[0110] Valid: If the internal control result is positive and the control result is negative, the test is considered valid and the result can be interpreted.
[0111] Invalid: If the internal control result is negative or the control result is positive, the result of this test or the test of this sample is invalid. Retesting is recommended.
[0112] (2) Result Interpretation: Under the premise of satisfying the above-mentioned "valid determination" in section (1), the result shall be interpreted in the following logical order:
[0113] HIV-1 and HIV-2 positive: If at least one HIV-1 target is positive and at least one HIV-2 target is positive, it should be reported as "HIV-1 and HIV-2 total nucleic acid positive".
[0114] HIV-1 positive: If at least one HIV-1 target is positive and all HIV-2 targets are negative, it should be reported as "HIV-1 total nucleic acid positive".
[0115] HIV-2 positive: If all HIV-1 targets are negative and at least one HIV-2 target is positive, it should be reported as "HIV-2 total nucleic acid positive".
[0116] Negative: If all HIV-1 and HIV-2 test targets are negative, the report should be "HIV nucleic acid not detected" or "negative".

[0145] Example 3: Specificity assessment of the rapid HIV-1 / HIV-2 total nucleic acid detection reagent (isothermal amplification-CRISPR fluorescence method)
[0146] Analytical Specificity Validation: The analytical specificity of the test reagent is mainly examined from two aspects: cross-reactivity and interference testing. Cross-reactivity refers to whether false positive results are produced between pathogens that easily produce cross-reactivity and pathogens that may cause similar clinical symptoms, effectively reducing the probability of false positives in clinical testing. This test reagent tested 15 cross-reactive pathogens, details of which are shown in Table 10. Interference testing refers to the interference caused by endogenous and exogenous residual substances (such as various therapeutic drugs) on sample detection, leading to false negatives. Through interference testing, the influence of various endogenous and exogenous substances on sample detection results is eliminated, thereby improving the accuracy of the reagent's test results. The interference testing of this reagent was conducted under the potential maximum concentration ("worst-case condition") of each interfering substance. The names of the tested interfering substances are shown in Tables 11 and 12.

[0173] Based on the results of the sensitivity and specificity of different primer crRNA, 700 types of HIV-1 / HIV-2 total nucleic acid rapid detection kits (Cas12a--CRISPR) can be developed. Given the large number of combinations, duplicate and overlapping combinations were eliminated, resulting in 7 kit formats covering all detection systems, as shown in Tables 15 and 16.
[0174] Based on the results of different primer crRNA sensitivity and specificity, 256 rapid HIV-1 / HIV-2 total nucleic acid detection kits (Cas13a-CRISPR) were developed. Given the large number of combinations, duplicate and overlapping combinations were removed, resulting in four kit formats covering all detection systems, as shown in Tables 15 and 16.
