Gene detection is thus of importance for disease-risk prediction or early diagnosis and treatment. Apart from genetic defects, gene detection techniques can also be applied to gene-related diseases with high risk to human health such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV infection has been strongly linked to cervical cancer. To achieve a high-throughput HPV gene detection platform, the flow-through hybridization system appears to be one of the commercialized diagnostic techniques for this purpose. The flow-through hybridization technique is based on a vacuum-guided flow of DNA fragments which is continuously directed toward the oligoprobes that are immobilized on the testing membrane. However, the conventional colorimetric method and signal read-out approach suffers a problem of low sensitivity. On the contrary, fluorescence approaches allow more sensitive detection and broad sensing ranges. In this work, a fluorescent dye HCAP, which possesses aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties and is responsive to alkaline phosphatase, was developed and applied to the flow-through hybridization platform to achieve HPV genome diagnosis of clinical samples. Also, an automatic membrane reader was constructed based on the AIE-based diagnosis platform which can identify the diagnostic result of patient DNA with a total concordance rate of 100% in the clinical trial.Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)Development of an HPV Genotype Detection Platform Based on Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) and Flow-Through Hybridization Technologies.PMC9609701ITC-CNERC14SC01ITS/301/18FX and ITC-CNERC14SC01ITS/301/18FXLin PKun TTCai SMa CCLam WKKwok TRXie LLee TRTang BZLi LfalseDevelopment of an HPV Genotype Detection Platform Based on Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) and Flow-Through Hybridization Technologies.Genetic mutations can cause life-threatening diseases such as cancers and sickle cell anemia.
