Rapid and simultaneous visual screening of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virufses with customized isothermal amplification integrated lateral flow strip.

ABSTRACT: Due to the similar clinical symptoms of influenza (Flu) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is a looming infection threat of concurrent Flu viruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this work, we introduce a customized isothermal amplification integrated lateral flow strip (LFS) that is capable performing duplex reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) and colorimetric LFS in a sequential manner. With customized amplification primer sets targeted to SARS-CoV-2 (opening reading frame 1a/b and nucleoprotein genes) and Flu viruses (Flu A and Flu B), the platform allows the rapid and simultaneous visual screening of SARS-CoV-2 and Flu viruses (Flu A and Flu B) without cross reactivity, false positives, and false negatives. Moreover, it maximally eases the detection, reduces the detection time (1 h), and improves the assay performance to detect as low as 10 copies of the viral RNA. Its clinical application is powerfully demonstrated with 100% accuracy for evaluating 15 SARS-CoV-2-positive clinical samples, 10 Flu viruses-positive clinical samples, and 5 negative clinical samples, which were pre-confirmed by standard qRT-PCR. We envision this portable device can meet the increasing need of online monitoring the serious infectious diseases that substantially affects health care systems worldwide.

Rapid and simultaneous visual typing of high-risk HPV-16/18 with use of integrated lateral flow strip platform.

Project description:A biosensor for rapid and simultaneous visual identification of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes 16 and 18 in clinical samples based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) integrated lateral flow strip platform was developed. Using an one-step protocol to extract nucleic acid rapidly and the functionalized primer sets specific to HPV-16 and 18 were designed for the simultaneous amplification. In the presence of target HPV genotypes, the corresponding functionalized primer sets will participate in the PCR process and produce numerous duplex functionalized dsDNA amplicons. With the bridge effect of duplex functionalized dsDNA amplicons between gold nanoparticles-fluorescein isothiocyanate antibody conjugates (AuNP-FITC antibody conjugates) and other two antibodies on corresponding test line (T1 or T2), visualized color signals on test lines could be obtained directly visible with a naked eye. Combining the high amplification efficiency of PCR and the visualized sensing of LFS, as low as 700 copies of HPV-16 and 18 DNA were detected simultaneously within 75 min, which can promote application in the resource limited settings. High-risk genotypes of HPV-16 and HPV-18 were easily and simultaneously screened with the amplification-assisted molecular lateral flow strip by on-site observation in the resource-limited settings.

Visual detection of gene mutations based on isothermal strand-displacement polymerase reaction and lateral flow strip.

Project description:Here, we describe a simple and sensitive approach for visual detection of gene mutations based on isothermal strand-displacement polymerase reactions (ISDPR) and lateral flow strip (LFS). The concept was first demonstrated by detecting the R156H-mutant gene of keratin 10 in Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK). In the presence of biotin-modified hairpin DNA and digoxin-modified primer, the R156H-mutant DNA triggered the ISDPR to produce numerous digoxin- and biotin-attached duplex DNA products. The product was detected on the LFS through dual immunoreactions (anti-digoxin antibody on the gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) and digoxin on the duplex, anti-biotin antibody on the LFS test zone and biotin on the duplex). The accumulation of Au-NPs produced the characteristic red band, enabling visual detection of the mutant gene without instrumentation. After systematic optimization of the ISDPR experimental conditions and the parameters of the assay, the current approach was capable of detecting as low as 1-fM R156H-mutant DNA within 75 min without instrumentation. Differentiation of R156H- and R156C-mutant DNA on the R156 mutation site was realized by using fluorescein- and biotin-modified hairpin probes in the ISDPR process. The approach thus provides a simple, sensitive, and low-cost tool for the detection of gene mutations.

Rapid and simple detection of influenza virus via isothermal amplification lateral flow assay.

Project description:Respiratory illness caused by influenza virus is a serious public health problem worldwide. As the symptoms of influenza virus infection are similar to those of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, it is essential to distinguish these two viruses. Therefore, to properly respond to a pathogen, a detection method that is capable of rapid and accurate diagnosis in a hospital or at home is required. To satisfy this need, we applied loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique, along with a system to analyze the results without specialized equipment, a lateral flow assay (LFA). Using the platform developed in this study, all processes, from sample preparation to detection, can be performed without special equipment. Unlike existing PCR methods, the nucleic acid amplification can be performed in the field because hot packs do not require electricity. Thus, the designed platform can provide rapid results without the need to transport the samples to a laboratory or hospital. These advantages are not limited to operations in developing countries with poor access to medical systems. In conclusion, the developed technology is a promising tool for infectious disease management that allows for rapid identification of infectious diseases and appropriate treatment of patients.

Detection of a microbial source tracking marker by isothermal helicase-dependent amplification and a nucleic acid lateral-flow strip test.

Project description:Over the last decades, various PCR-based methods have been proposed that can identify sources of faecal pollution in environmental waters. These microbial source tracking (MST) methods are powerful tools to manage water quality and support public health risk assessment. However, their application is limited by the lack of specialized equipment and trained personnel in laboratories performing microbiological water quality assessment. Here, we describe a novel molecular method that combines helicase-dependent amplification (HDA) with a strip test for detecting ruminant faecal pollution sources. Unlike quantitative PCR (qPCR), the developed HDA-strip assay only requires a heating block to amplify the ruminant-associated Bacteroidetes 16S rRNA marker (BacR). Following HDA, the reaction mixture can be directly applied onto the test strip, which detects and displays the amplification products by marker-specific hybridization probes via an on-strip colorimetric reaction. The entire assay takes two hours and demands no extensive practical training. Furthermore, the BacR HDA-strip assay achieved comparable results in head-to-head performance tests with the qPCR reference, in which we investigated source-sensitivity and source-specificity, the analytical limit of detection, and the sample limit of detection. Although this approach only yields qualitative results, it can pave a way for future simple-to-use MST screening tools.

Visual Detection of West Nile Virus Using Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Combined with a Vertical Flow Visualization Strip.

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) causes a severe zoonosis, which can lead to a large number of casualties and considerable economic losses. A rapid and accurate identification method for WNV for use in field laboratories is urgently needed. Here, a method utilizing reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with a vertical flow visualization strip (RT-LAMP-VF) was developed to detect the envelope (E) gene of WNV. The RT-LAMP-VF assay could detect 10(2) copies/?l of an WNV RNA standard using a 40 min amplification reaction followed by a 2 min incubation of the amplification product on the visualization strip, and no cross-reaction with other closely related members of the Flavivirus genus was observed. The assay was further evaluated using cells and mouse brain tissues infected with a recombinant rabies virus expressing the E protein of WNV. The assay produced sensitivities of 10(1.5) TCID50/ml and 10(1.33) TCID50/ml for detection of the recombinant virus in the cells and brain tissues, respectively. Overall, the RT-LAMP-VF assay developed in this study is rapid, simple and effective, and it is therefore suitable for clinical application in the field.

Rapid and Visual Detection of Trichinella Spp. Using a Lateral Flow Strip-Based Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (LF-RPA) Assay.

Project description:Trichinella spp., are amongst the most widespread parasitic nematodes, primarily live in the muscles of a wide range of vertebrate animals and humans. Human infection occurs by ingestion of raw or undercooked meat containing Trichinella larvae. Accurate diagnosis of Trichinella spp. infection in domestic animals is crucial for the effective prevention and control of human trichinellosis. In the present study, a simple, rapid and accurate diagnostic assay was developed combining recombinase polymerase amplification and a lateral flow strip (LF-RPA) to detect Trichinella spp. infection. The LF-RPA assay targets Trichinella spp. mitochondrial small-subunit ribosomal RNA (rrnS) gene and can detect as low as 100 fg DNA of Trichinella strains, which was approximately 10 times more sensitive than a conventional PCR assay. The LF-RPA assay can be performed within 10-25 min, at a wide range of temperatures (25-45°C) and showed no cross-reactivity with DNA of other parasites and related host species of Trichinella. The performance of the LF-RPA assay in the presence of high concentration of PCR inhibitor was better than that of a conventional PCR assay. Results obtained by LF-RPA assay for the detection of experimentally infected mice were comparable to the results obtained by using a conventional PCR, achieving 100% specificity and high sensitivity. These results present the developed LF-RPA assay as a new simple, specific, sensitive, rapid and convenient method for the detection of Trichinella infection in domestic animals.

Nanoparticle-Based Lateral Flow Biosensor Integrated With Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Rapid and Visual Identification of Chlamydia trachomatis for Point-of-Care Use

Project description:Chlamydial infection, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection and remains a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped regions. Developing a rapid and sensitive point-of-care (POC) testing for accurate screening of C. trachomatis infection is critical for earlier treatment to prevent transmission. In this study, a novel diagnostic assay, loop-mediated isothermal amplification integrated with gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow biosensor (LAMP-LFB), was devised and applied for diagnosis of C. trachomatis in clinical samples. A set of LAMP primers based on the ompA gene from 14 C. trachomatis serological variants (serovar A-K, L1, L2, L3) was successfully designed and used for the development of C. trachomatis-LAMP-LFB assay. The optimal reaction system can be performed at a constant temperature of 67°C for 35 min. The total assay process, including genomic DNA extraction (~15 min), LAMP reaction (35 min), and LFB readout (~2 min), could be finished within 60 min. The C. trachomatis-LAMP-LFB could detect down to 50 copies/ml, and the specificity was 100%, no cross-reactions with other pathogens were observed. Hence, our C. trachomatis-LAMP-LFB was a rapid, reliable, sensitive, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate assay, which could offer an attractive POC testing tool for chlamydial infection screening, especially in resource starvation settings.

Nanoparticle-Based Lateral Flow Biosensors Integrated With Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for the Rapid and Visual Diagnosis of Hepatitis B Virus in Clinical Application.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains one of the major public health issues worldwide. Developing a rapid, sensitive, specific, easy-to-operate, and cost-saving approach for the diagnosis of HBV is essential for its therapy and prevention. Here, we first devised a novel approach, termed "loop-mediated isothermal amplification integrated with a nanoparticle-based lateral flow biosensor (LAMP-LFB)," for the detection of HBV in clinical application. The results indicated that a set of LAMP primers based on the S gene were valid for the establishment of HBV-LAMP-LFB. The optimal HBV-LAMP can be carried out at a constant temperature of 65°C for 40 min. The whole detection process, including HBV genomic DNA preparation (∼10 min), LAMP (40 min), and LFB reading (within 2 min), can be accomplished within 60 min. The limit of detection of the HBV-LAMP-LFB assay was 7.5 IU per test. The specificity of this assay was one hundred percent, and there was no cross-reactivity with other pathogens. Hence, these results indicated that the HBV-LAMP-LFB assay established in the current study is a sensitive, rapid, specific, visual, simple, and cost-saving method for the screening of HBV agents. More importantly, the HBV-LAMP-LFB has remarkable potential to develop a point-of-care testing in clinical application, especially in resource-scarce regions.

Rapid and visual identification of HIV-1 using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification integrated with a gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow assay platform.

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1) infection remains a major public health problem worldwide. Early diagnosis of HIV-1 is crucial to treat and control this infection effectively. Here, for the first time, we reported a novel molecular diagnostic assay called reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with a visual gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow assay (RT-LAMP-AuNPs-LFA), which we devised for rapid, specific, sensitive, and visual identification of HIV-1. The unique LAMP primers were successfully designed based on the pol gene from the major HIV-1 genotypes CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC, CRF08_BC, and subtype B, which are prevalent in China. The optimal HIV-1-RT-LAMP-AuNPs-LFA reaction conditions were determined to be 68°C for 35 min. The detection procedure, including crude genomic RNA isolation (approximately 5 min), RT-LAMP amplification (35 min), and visual result readout (<2 min), can be completed within 45 min. Our assay has a detection limit of 20 copies per test, and we did not observe any cross-reactivity with any other pathogen in our testing. Hence, our preliminary results indicated that the HIV-1-RT-LAMP-AuNPs-LFA assay can potentially serve as a useful point-of-care diagnostic tool for HIV-1 detection in a clinical setting.

Europium Nanoparticle-Based Lateral Flow Strip Biosensors Combined with Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Simultaneous Detection of Five Zoonotic Foodborne Pathogens.

Project description:The five recognized zoonotic foodborne pathogens, namely, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus suis, Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli O157:H7, pose a major threat to global health and social-economic development. These pathogenic bacteria can cause human and animal diseases through foodborne transmission and environmental contamination. Rapid and sensitive detection for pathogens is particularly important for the effective prevention of zoonotic infections. In this study, rapid and visual europium nanoparticle (EuNP)-based lateral flow strip biosensors (LFSBs) combined with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) were developed for the simultaneous quantitative detection of five foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Multiple T lines were designed in a single test strip for increasing the detection throughput. After optimizing the key parameters, the single-tube amplified reaction was completed within 15 min at 37 °C. The fluorescent strip reader recorded the intensity signals from the lateral flow strip and converted the data into a T/C value for quantification measurement. The sensitivity of the quintuple RPA-EuNP-LFSBs reached a level of 101 CFU/mL. It also exhibited good specificity and there was no cross-reaction with 20 non-target pathogens. In artificial contamination experiments, the recovery rate of the quintuple RPA-EuNP-LFSBs was 90.6-101.6%, and the results were consistent with those of the culture method. In summary, the ultrasensitive bacterial LFSBs described in this study have the potential for widespread application in resource-poor areas. The study also provides insights in respect to multiple detection in the field.
