ABSTRACT
As observed in the COVID-19 pandemic, RNA viruses continue to rapidly evolve through mutations. In the absence of effective therapeutics, early detection of new severely pathogenic viruses and quarantine of infected people are critical for reducing the spread of the viral infections. However, conventional detection methods require a substantial amount of time to develop probes specific to new viruses, thereby impeding immediate response to the emergence of viral pathogens. In this study, we identified multiple types of viruses by obtaining the spectral fingerprint of their surface proteins with probe-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In addition, the SERS-based method can remarkably distinguish influenza virus variants with several surface protein point mutations from their parental strain. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the SERS spectra systematically captured the key Raman bands to distinguish the variants. Our results show that the combination of SERS and PCA can be a promising tool for rapid detection of newly emerging mutant viruses without a virus-specific probe.
