Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Based Multiplex Lateral Flow Dipstick for Fast Identification of Duck Ingredient in Adulterated Beef.

ABSTRACT: Meat adulteration has become a global social problem. In order to protect consumers from meat adulteration, several methods have been developed to identify meat species. However, the conventional methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming and require instruments. In the present study, a rapid and visual method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and multiplex lateral flow dipstick (MLFD) was developed to detect duck ingredient in adulterated beef. Using recombinase and strand displacement polymerase enable RPA to amplify different double-labeled DNA amplicons at room temperature, which can be further detected by MLFD. The whole reaction process can be finished within 35 min, and the results can be determined by naked eyes. As low as 5% of duck ingredient in adulterated beef can be easily measured. Moreover, we confirmed that our new method held good potential in the detection of commercially processed meat samples. In conclusion, this study reported a useful animal derived meat adulteration detection method, which have potential application in future.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Porcine Deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a newly emerging Coronavirus that was first identified in 2012 in Hong Kong, China. Since then, PDCoV has subsequently been reported worldwide, causing a high number of neonatal piglet deaths and significant economic losses to the swine industry. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a highly sensitive and specific method for the rapid diagnosis of PDCoV. RESULTS:In the present study, a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic method using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD-RPA) was developed for rapid and visual detection of PDCoV. The system can be performed under a broad range of temperature conditions from 10 to 37 °C, and the detection of PDCoV can be completed in 10 min at 37 °C. The sensitivity of this assay was 10 times higher than that of conventional PCR with a lower detection limit of 1 × 102 copies/µl of PDCoV. Meanwhile, the LFD-RPA assay specifically amplified PDCoV, while there was no cross-amplification with other swine-associated viruses, including Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), Porcine kobuvirus (PKoV), Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV), Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and Seneca valley virus (SVV). The repeatability of the test results indicated that this assay had good repeatability. In addition, 68 clinical samples (48 fecal swab specimens and 20 intestinal specimens) were further tested by LFD-RPA and RT-PCR assay. The positive rate of LFD-RPA clinical samples was 26.47% higher than that of conventional PCR (23.53%). CONCLUSIONS:The LFD-RPA assay successfully detected PDCoV in less than 20 min in this study, providing a potentially valuable tool to improve molecular detection for PDCoV and to monitor the outbreak of PDCoV, especially in low-resource areas and laboratories.

Project description:BackgroundFish-borne zoonotic clonorchiasis, caused by Clonorchis sinensis, is an emerging public health problem in several countries with more than 15 million people infected globally. However, a lack of accurate point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests in resource-limited areas is still a critical barrier to effective treatment and control of clonorchiasis. The development of the recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA) assay, a POC diagnostic test based on the amplification of pathogen DNA, has provided a new, simple and inexpensive tool for disease detection with high sensitivity and specificity.MethodsA novel RPA method was developed based on specific primers and probes, and combined with the dipstick, to allow for the rapid and intuitive detection of C. sinensis through the amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COX1) gene. The lower limit of detection for the combined RPA/lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) assay was evaluated using dilutions of the target DNA sequence. Cross-reactivity was evaluated using genomic DNA from 10 additional control parasites. Forty human clinical stool samples were tested to verify its performance.ResultsThe evaluated primers designed from the C. sinensis COX1 region can be used to detect adult worms, metacercariae, and eggs at 39 °C within 20 min, and the results can be visually observed using the LFD. The detection limit of pathogen genomic DNA was as low as 10 fg, and the number of metacercaria(e) in fish and egg(s) in faeces were both as low as one. This improved the sensitivity of low-infection detection tremendously. The test is species-specific, and no other related control parasites were detected. In human stool samples with eggs per gram (EPG) > 50, the RPA-LFD assay was performed consistent with conventional Kato-Katz (KK) and PCR methods.ConclusionThe established RPA-LFD assay provides a powerful tool for the diagnosis and epidemiological survey of C. sinensis from human and animal samples, and has important implications for the effective control of clonorchiasis.

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/?L, 10 times higher than that of the conventional PCR method (103 copies/?L); the RF-RT-RAA method could be used to complete reaction within 26 min, and its lowest detectable limit was 10 copies/?L, 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR method (103 copies/?L), and it was as sensitive as real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (10 copies/?L). 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.
