Recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid detection of Monkeypox virus

Abstract: In this study, a rapid method for the detection of Central and West Africa clades of Monkeypox virus (MPXV) using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay targeting the G2R gene was developed. MPXV, an Orthopoxvirus, is a zoonotic dsDNA virus, which is listed as a biothreat agent. RPA was operated at a single constant temperature of 42°C and produced results within 3 to 10 minutes. The MPXV-RPA-assay was highly sensitive with a limit of detection of 16 DNA molecules/μl. The clinical performance of the … Show more

“…However, these dyes cannot distinguish between amplicons and primer dimers, which can lead to false positive results. Therefore, specific probes are preferred to be used in the RPA reaction, including Exo probe and Fpg probe, named after the enzymes introduced [75,78]. The Exo probe carries a fluorescence group and a fluorescence quenching group, which are respectively combined with a thymine, separated by a tetrahydrofuran (THF) base [79].…”

“…Due to its availability as a ready to use lyophilized enzyme mix, simple incubation requirements as well as the ability to detect target sequences from crude lysates [10], RPA is an ideal candidate for the development of small and inexpensive nucleic acid detection equipment for use at the point of care. Up until now, a multitude of RPA based detection assays targeting bacteria [11][12][13][14], viruses [15][16][17][18][19][20], parasites [21][22][23], and microRNAs [24] have been developed. With the addition of a second primer pair and a corresponding fluorescent probe, RPA assays are also easily duplexed in a single reaction vessel [12,13].…”
