敏感,方便、快速的流感病毒检测和亚型分型对于及时治疗和管理感染者至关重要。与抗原检测相比,核酸检测具有较高的特异性,可以缩短检测窗口。因此,在这项工作中,我们改进了侧流测定(LFA,最有前途的用户友好和现场方法之一),以实现H1N1,H3N2和H9N2流感病毒核酸的检测和分型。首先,将抗原-抗体识别模式转化为核酸杂交反应。其次,制备了Fe3O4-Au异质二聚体纳米粒子来代替经常使用的Au纳米粒子以获得更好的着色。第三,在LFA带上布置了四条线,这是三个测试(T)线和一个对照(C)线。用与H1N1、H3N2和H9N2流感病毒核酸一端互补的DNA序列分别对3个T系进行喷雾,将Fe3O4-Au纳米粒子分别与与H1N1、H3N2和H9N2核酸另一端互补的DNA序列偶联,构建三种探针。C系通过与所有三种探针上的DNA的互补序列进行喷雾。在检测中,通过杂交反应,将探针与它们的靶核酸组合,所述靶核酸被相应的T系捕获以形成色带。最后,根据颜色带的位置和它们的灰色强度,实现了三种流感病毒核酸的同时定性和半定量检测。检测结果表明,该多通道LFA具有良好的特异性,三种亚型流感病毒之间没有显著的交叉反应。同时检测实现了与单独检测相当的检测限。因此,这种多通道LFA在流感病毒的灵敏,快速检测和亚型分型方面具有良好的应用潜力。
Sensitive, convenient and rapid detection and subtyping of influenza viruses are crucial for timely treatment and management of infected people. Compared with antigen detection, nucleic acid detection has higher specificity and can shorten the detection window. Hence, in this work, we improved the lateral flow assay (LFA, one of the most promising user-friendly and on-site methods) to achieve detection and subtyping of H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2 influenza virus nucleic acids. Firstly, the antigen-antibody recognition mode was transformed into a nucleic acid hybridization reaction. Secondly, Fe3O4-Au heterodimer nanoparticles were prepared to replace frequently used Au nanoparticles to obtain better coloration. Thirdly, four lines were arranged on the LFA strip, which were three test (T) lines and one control (C) line. Three T lines were respectively sprayed by the DNA sequences complementary to one end of H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2 influenza virus nucleic acids, while Fe3O4-Au nanoparticles were respectively coupled with the DNA sequences complementary to the other end of H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2 nucleic acids to construct three kinds of probes. The C line was sprayed by the complementary sequences to the DNAs on all three kinds of probes. In the detection, by hybridization reaction, the probes were combined with their target nucleic acids which were captured by the corresponding T lines to form color bands. Finally, according to the position of the color bands and their grey intensity, simultaneous qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of the three influenza virus nucleic acids was realized. The detection results showed that this multi-channel LFA had good specificity, and there was no significant cross reactivity among the three subtypes of influenza viruses. The simultaneous detection achieved comparable detection limits with individual detections. Therefore, this multi-channel LFA had good application potential for sensitive and rapid detection and subtyping of influenza viruses.
