Rapid Detection of Measles Virus Using Reverse Transcriptase/Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Coupled with CRISPR/Cas12a and a Lateral Flow Detection: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

ABSTRACT: The measles virus is highly contagious, and efforts to simplify its diagnosis are essential. A reverse transcriptase/recombinase polymerase amplification assay coupled with CRISPR/Cas12a and an immunochromatographic lateral flow detection (RT-RPA-CRISPR-LFD) was developed for the simple visual detection of measles virus. The assay was performed in less than 1 h at an optimal temperature of 42 °C. The detection limit of the assay was 31 copies of an RNA standard in the reaction tube. The diagnostic performances were evaluated on a panel of 27 measles virus RT-PCR-positive samples alongside 29 measles virus negative saliva samples. The sensitivity and specificity were 96% (95% CI, 81-99%) and 100% (95% CI, 88-100%), respectively, corresponding to an accuracy of 98% (95% CI, 94-100%; p < 0.0001). This method will open new perspectives in the development of the point-of-care testing diagnosis of measles.

Project description:Newcastle disease is an acute and highly contagious disease of poultry caused by Newcastle disease virus infection, which does great harm to the poultry industry all over the world. To diagnose the disease simply and quickly, 2 detection methods were established based on reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) technology. One is reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification-lateral flow dipstick (RT-RAA-LFD) that is to combine RT-RAA with lateral flow dipstick; the other is real-time fluorescence-based reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RF-RT-RAA) that is the combination of RT-RAA and exo probe. In this study, the reaction conditions such as reaction temperature and reaction time of the 2 methods were optimized, and their specificity and sensitivity were tested. The results showed that the RT-RAA-LFD method could be used to complete reaction within 23 min, and its lowest detectable limit was 102 copies/μL, 10 times higher than that of the conventional PCR method (103 copies/μL); the RF-RT-RAA method could be used to complete reaction within 26 min, and its lowest detectable limit was 10 copies/μL, 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR method (103 copies/μL), and it was as sensitive as real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (10 copies/μL). The 2 methods had no cross reaction to the nucleic acid of other avian pathogens and showed good specificity. A total of 86 clinical samples suspected of the Newcastle disease virus were tested by conventional PCR, real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR, RT-RAA-LFD, and RF-RT-RAA. Based on the commonly used conventional PCR method, the other 3 detection methods had a coincidence rate of higher than 93%. In summary, RT-RAA-LFD and RF-RT-RAA had high specificity, sensitivity, and efficiency, which were suitable for clinical and laboratory diagnosis, respectively, and provided technical support for the prevention and control of Newcastle disease.
