ABSTRACT
Objective:
This study aimed to develop a rapid, visual PCR-CRISPR/Cas12-LFD method for detecting influenza A by utilizing the conserved region of the matrix protein gene.Method:
We crafted universal degradation primers and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats RNA (CRISPR RNA, crRNA) targeting the conserved matrix protein gene of the influenza virus (IFV), integrated with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) technology. This new PCR-CRISPR/Cas12-LFD approach was designed to determine its sensitivity and specificity through the analysis of various clinical samples collected in 2023.Results:
The developed nucleic acid assay for influenza A viruses (IAV) demonstrated a sensitivity of 10 copies/µL without cross-reactivity with other respiratory pathogens. Evaluation of 82 clinical samples showed high concordance with results from fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), achieving a kappa value of 0.95.Conclusion:
A highly sensitive and specific PCR-CRISPR/Cas12-LFD method has been successfully established for the detection of influenza A, offering a robust tool for its diagnosis and aiding in the prevention and control of this virus.
