Loop-mediated isothermal amplification linked a nanoparticles-based biosensor for detecting Epstein-Barr virus.

ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous gamma herpesvirus that maintains a lifelong latent association with B lymphocytes. Here, a rapid and reliable diagnosis platform for detecting EBV infection, employing loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) combined with a gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow biosensors (AuNPs-LFB) (termed LAMP Amplification Mediated AuNPs-LFB Detection, LAMAD), was developed in the current study. A set of specific LAMP primers targeting the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) leader protein (EBNA-LP) gene was designed and synthesized. Subsequently, these templates extracted from various pathogens and whole blood samples were used to optimize and evaluate the EBV-LAMAD assay. As a result, the limit of detection (LoD) of the EBV-LAMAD assay was 45 copies/reac
