Establishment and Evaluation of a Nucleic Acid Detection Technique for Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus Based on RPA
Recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)is a kind of nucleic acid amplification method developed and widely used in recent years,which could make relevant detection equipments miniaturized to satisfy the requirements of point-of-care testing(POCT). In this study,based on spring viraemia of carp virus(SVCV),the RPA method for detection of SVCV was established,and its sensitivity,specificity and stability were analyzed,then the possibility of applying this method to POCT was evaluated. The results showed that the method was with high sensitivity,and its lower limit detection was 4×103 PFU/mL which was slightly lower than that of Taq enzyme based RT-PCR;its specificity was good,no any non-specific reaction with the pathogens of other aquatic animal was found,such as IHNV,VHSV,IPNV and ISAV;and the results of three repeated tests were almost the same due to its good stability. In conclusion,the RPA method could be used in research of relevant instruments and reagents for POCT.
