Rapid molecular detection of Senecavirus A based on reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and CRISPR/Cas12a by Chenghui Jiang, Chenghui Jiang, Huibao Wang, Rongxia Guo, Rui Yang, Xiaoming Li, Ping Liu, Jing Wang, Jincai Yang, Yanyan Chang, Yanyan Chang, Qiaoying Zeng

“…At present, the absence of effective drugs or vaccines for treating the disease makes accurate diagnosis of SVA of paramount importance for the effective prevention and control of the disease.MethodsIn this study, we combined reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated protein12a (CRISPR/Cas12a) using a dual-labelled fluorescence quencher or fluorescent biotin single-stranded DNA reporter molecule to develop two rapid, reliable, and portable visual SVA assays: RT-LAMP-Cas12a-FQ and RT-LAMP-Cas12a-FB.ResultsThe two methods exhibited comparable detection limits, with 9.6 copies/μL achieved in 40 and 45 minutes, respectively. …”
