摘要
The negative global impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic has highlighted the crucial need for a rapid and convenient method of viral RNA detection. In this study, we report a novel method, termed as the split T7 promoter-based isothermal transcription amplification with light-up RNA aptamer (STAR), for one-pot detection of viral RNA. STAR uses a split T7 promoter that is applied to a three-way junction to mediate the selective transcription by the T7 RNA polymerase in the presence of target RNA. In addition, a light-up RNA aptamer is used for signal amplification. STAR can detect viral RNA in less than 30 min with high specificity and sensitivity. By testing of 60 nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 samples, the STAR assay demonstrates an excellent sensitivity and specificity of 96.7% and 100%, respectively. Moreover, we provide experimental evidence of the broad applicability of this assay through the multiplex detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants (D614G mutation) and direct detection of bacterial 16S rRNA.
