Amplificación de ácidos nucleicos cuantitativa es una técnica importante para la detección del medio ambiente, transmitidas por los alimentos, y los patógenos transmitidos por el agua, así como para el diagnóstico clínico. Reacción en cadena de la polimerasa cuantitativa en tiempo real (qPCR) es el método estándar de oro para la detección sensible, específica y cuantitativa de ácidos nucleicos, por ejemplo, para el VIH-1 pruebas de carga viral, la detección de patógenos bacterianos, y la detección de muchos otros organismos 1 - 3. Durante tiempo real qPCR, cebadores amplifican ADN del patógeno en ciclos, y una señal fluorescente que se genera es proporcional a la cantidad de ADN amplificado en la muestra en cada ciclo. Una muestra que contiene una concentración desconocida de ADN del patógeno puede ser cuantificada usando una curva patrón que relaciona la concentración de ADN inicial de muestras estándar y el tiempo en que la señal fluorescente alcanza un cierto umbral (es decir, el umbral de ciclo, o C T). <p class=&quot;Jove_content&quot;&gt; Debido a tiempo real qPCR requiere costosos equipos de ciclo térmico y varias horas para recibir los resultados, las técnicas de amplificación isotérmica alternativos, tales como la amplificación recombinasa polimerasa (RPA), se han desarrollado 4. Estas plataformas generalmente proporcionan resultados más rápidos y amplifican los ácidos nucleicos en una, solo temperatura más baja, que se puede lograr con un equipo menos caro, más simple. RPA, que es particularmente atractivo para aplicaciones de punto de cuidado, amplifica ADN en minutos, requiere una temperatura de amplificación baja (37 ° C), y permanece activo en la presencia de impurezas 5,6. Ensayos de RPA se han desarrollado para una amplia gama de aplicaciones, incluyendo el análisis de alimentos, la detección de patógenos, detección de drogas cáncer, y la detección de agentes biothreat 7-12. Sin embargo, el uso de RPA para la cuantificación de ácidos nucleicos se ha limitado 13,14. En trabajos anteriores, que era shown que en tiempo real RPA cuantitativa (qRPA) es factible 15. Aquí, se proporciona un protocolo más detallado para el uso en tiempo real RPA cuantitativa para cuantificar muestras desconocidas utilizando una curva estándar, un método que es análogo a la cuantificación mediante qPCR. Este protocolo se describe cómo realizar una reacción RPA en un termociclador para detectar el VIH-1 de ADN como prueba de concepto, así como la forma de desarrollar un control positivo interno (IPC) para asegurar que el sistema está funcionando correctamente. La recolección de datos utilizando un termociclador o microscopio y análisis de datos para la construcción de una curva estándar utilizando datos de entrenamiento también se detalla. Por último, el método para cuantificar muestras desconocidas usando la curva estándar con un script personalizado se demuestra. Esta técnica qRPA permite la cuantificación de las muestras con concentraciones desconocidas y tiene muchas ventajas sobre en tiempo real tradicional qPCR.

development of a quantitative recombinase polymerase amplification assay with an internal positive control

It was recently demonstrated that recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), an isothermal amplification platform for pathogen detection, may be used to quantify DNA sample concentration using a standard curve. In this manuscript, a detailed protocol for developing and implementing a real-time quantitative recombinase polymerase amplification assay (qRPA assay) is provided. Using HIV-1 DNA quantification as an example, the assembly of real-time RPA reactions, the design of an internal positive control (IPC) sequence, and co-amplification of the IPC and target of interest are all described. Instructions and data processing scripts for the construction of a standard curve using data from multiple experiments are provided, which may be used to predict the concentration of unknown samples or assess the performance of the assay. Finally, an alternative method for collecting real-time fluorescence data with a microscope and a stage heater as a step towards developing a point-of-care qRPA assay is described. The protocol and scripts provided may be used for the development of a qRPA assay for any DNA target of interest.

Antes de seleccionar una secuencia para servir como el IPC en experimentos con qRPA objetivo (VIH-1) ADN, control positivo interno (IPC) candidatos se generan y se seleccionaron por su capacidad para amplificar en las reacciones qRPA sin el VIH-1 ADN presente. Candidatos IPC son más largos que el objetivo (VIH-1) DNA para prevenir la formación IPC desde fuera de la competencia del VIH-1 la formación de amplicón. Como se muestra en la Figura 2A, la generación de dos C. candidatos parvum...
