Rapid Detection of Hepatitis B Virus in Blood Samples Using a Combination of Polymerase Spiral Reaction With Nanoparticles Lateral-Flow Biosensor.

ABSTRACT: A rapid, highly sensitive, and robust diagnostic technique for point-of-care (PoC) testing can be developed using the combination of the nanoparticle-based lateral flow biosensors (LFB) and isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology. Here, we developed a polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) containing FITC-labeled DNA probes coupled with the nanoparticle-based LFB assay (PSR-LFB) to detect the amplified products to detect HBV visually. Under the optimized conditions, the PSR assay involved incubation of the reaction mixture for 20 min at 63°C, followed by visual detection of positive amplicons using LFB, which would generate a red test line based on the biotin/streptavidin interaction and immunoreactions, within 5 min. A cross-reactivity test revealed that the developed PSR-LFB assay showed good specificity for HBV and could distinguish HBV from other pathogenic microorganisms. For the analytical sensitivity, the limit of detection (LoD) of PSR-LFB assay was recorded as 5.4 copies/mL of HBV genomic DNA, which was ten-times more sensitive than qPCR and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Additionally, all the HBV-positive (29/82) samples, identified using ELISA, were also successfully detected by the PSR-LFB assay. We found that the true positive rate of the PSR-LFB assay was higher than that of qPCR (100 vs. 89.66%, respectively), as well as the LAMP assay (100 vs. 96.55%, respectively). Furthermore, the integrated procedure could be completed in 60 min, including the processing of the blood samples (30 min), an isothermal reaction (20 min), and result visualization (5 min). Thus, this PSR-LFB assay could be a potentially useful technique for PoC diagnosis of HBV in resource-limited countries.

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus of public health importance. Currently, there is no FDA approved vaccine available against WNV infection in humans. Therefore, the early diagnosis of the WNV infection is important for epidemiologic control and timely clinical management in areas where multiple Flaviviruses are endemic. The present study aimed to develop reverse transcription polymerase spiral reaction (RT-PSR) assay that rapidly and accurately detects the envelope (env) gene of WNV. RT-PSR assay was optimized at 63°C for 60 min using real-time turbidimeter or visual detection by the addition of SYBR Green I dye. The standard curve for RT-PSR assay was generated using the 10-fold serial dilutions of in vitro transcribed WNV RNA. To determine the detection limit of RT-PSR assay, an amplified product of conventional RT-PCR was in vitro transcribed as per standard protocol. The detection limit of the newly developed RT-PSR assay was compared with that of conventional RT-PCR and CDC reported TaqMan real-time RT-PCR using a serial 10-fold dilution of IVT WNV RNA. The detection limit of RT-PSR was found to be 1 RNA copy, which is 100-fold higher than that of conventional RT-PCR (100 copies). This suggests that RT-PSR assay is a valuable diagnostic tool for rapid and real-time detection of WNV in acute-phase serum samples. The assay was validated with a panel of 107 WNV suspected human clinical samples with signs of acute posterior uveitis and onset of febrile illness. Out of 107 samples, 30 were found positive by RT-PSR assay. The specificities of the selected primer sets were established by the absence of cross-reactivity with other closely related members viruses of the Flaviviruses, Alphaviruses, and Morbilliviruses groups. No cross-reactivity was observed with other viruses. To best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the RT-PSR assay for the detection of RNA virus (WNV) in clinical samples. RT-PSR is a high throughput method and more than 30 reactions can be run at once in real-time turbidimeter. PSR assay has potential to be used for a rapid screening of large number of clinical samples in endemic areas during an outbreak.
