Portable, single nucleotide polymorphism-specific duplex assay for virus surveillance in wastewater
The Argonaute protein from the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (PfAgo) is a DNA-guided nuclease that targets DNA with any sequence. We designed a virus detection assay in which the PfAgo enzyme cleaves the reporter probe, thus generating fluorescent signals when amplicons from a reverse transcriptase l...

Zusammenfassung: | The Argonaute protein from the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (PfAgo) is a DNA-guided nuclease that targets DNA with any sequence. We designed a virus detection assay in which the PfAgo enzyme cleaves the reporter probe, thus generating fluorescent signals when amplicons from a reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay contain target sequences. We confirmed that the RT-LAMP-PfAgo assay for the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant produced significantly higher fluorescent signals (p |
