Development and evaluation of a rapid recombinase polymerase amplification assay for detection of coxsackievirus A6

Abstract: Coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) is an important pathogen causing hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a rapid real-time reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay for detection of CV-A6. The sensitivity of this assay was 202 copies/reaction, with 100 % specificity. Furthermore, this assay yielded consistent results comparable with a commercial qRT-PCR diagnostic kit. This assay is therefore potentially useful for surveillance of CV-A6 i… Show more

“…This study established a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic approach for the detection of SFTSV nucleic acids in clinical serum specimens. The detection limit of SFTSV RT-RPA assay was statistically estimated as 241 copies of target RNA per reaction, which is consistent with other published literature [19][20][21]. While the sensitivity of this RT-RPA assay is lower than conventional RT-qPCR for SFTSV, the detection limit is still far below the viremia level in most clinical SFTS patients [18].…”

“…The analysis suggested comparable performance of RT-LAMP methods to real time RT-PCR, as the pooled sensitivity and specificity were found to be 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97–1.00) vs. 0.97 (95% CI: 0.94–1.00), respectively. More recently, Wang et al (2017) further evaluated this method, finding a limit of detection of 0.01 PFU per reaction. No cross-reaction of the assay was found with poliovirus 1, coxsackievirus A16, rotavirus, norovirus, sapovirus, and astrovirus ( An et al, 2014 ).…”

“…Thus, there is a need to distinguish both for proper treatment. Wang et al (2017) report an RT-RPA assay for coxsackievirus A6 with a detection limit of 400 copies per reaction, with 100% specificity when 234 clinical samples were tested that also included 15 coxsackievirus group A and 5 group B serotypes for which no cross-reactivity was observed. Further, the real-time RT-RPA assay showed no significant difference in sensitivity or specificity with established real-time RT-PCR assays.…”

“…Recently, recombinase polymerase amplication (RPA) have been emerging as a state-of-the-art, isothermal technology for use in molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases, pathogens and genetically modied organisms. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Unlike isothermal DNA amplication methods, e.g. Loop-mediated Isothermal AMPli-cation (LAMP) [28][29][30] performed at 60-70 C, PRA reaction proceeds at a temperatures between 37 C and 42 C. 31 RPA process, employing a recombinase enzyme, a single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), a strand-displacing polymerase called Bsu polymerase and two opposing primers, allows exponential amplication of a dened region of DNA molecule.…”
