摘要：Here we report the development of a high throughput, all-solution phase, and isothermal detection system for African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV). CRISPR-Cas12a programmed with a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) is used to detect ASFV target DNA. Upon ASFV DNA binding, the Cas12a/crRNA/ASFV DNA complex becomes activated and degrades a fluorescent single stranded DNA (ssDNA) reporter present in the assay. We combine this powerful CRISPR-Cas assay with a fluorescence-based point-of-care (POC) system for rapid and accurate virus detection. Without nucleic acid amplification, a detection limit of 1 pM is achieved within 2 h. In addition, the ternary Cas12a/crRNA/ASFV DNA complex is highly stable at physiological temperature and continues to cleave the ssDNA reporter even after 24 h of incubation, resulting in an improved detection limit of 100 fM. We show that this system is very specific and can differentiate nucleic acid targets with closely matched sequences. The high sensitivity and selectivity of our system enables the detection of ASFV in femtomolar range. Importantly, this system features a disposable cartridge and a sensitive custom designed fluorometer, enabling compact and simple ASFV detection, intended for low resource settings.
