Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is difficult, and a rapid and dependable diagnostic test is urgently needed. A nano-based assay, SYBR Green magnetic bead-coupled gold nanoparticle-based real-time immuno-polymerase chain reaction (MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR) was studied for the quantitative detection of MPT-64+CFP-10 proteins in clinically suspected EPTB patients. A wide range (270 fg/ml-9.9 ng/ml) of MPT-64+CFP-10 was quantified by MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR in EPTB cases, whereas magneto-ELISA demonstrated a narrow range (1.8-10 ng/ml). Furthermore, high sensitivity (88.2%) and specificity (100%) were attained by MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR in EPTB (n = 51) and non-TB control (n = 49) subjects, respectively. Both MB-AuNP-I-PCR/magneto-ELISA exhibited significantly lower (p < 0.05-0.01) sensitivities than MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR. The MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR described herein shows good diagnostic accuracy, which may translate into a credible diagnostic kit.
肺外结核病(EPTB)的诊断较为困难,因此迫切需要一种快速可靠的诊断测试。研究了一种基于纳米的检测方法,即SYBR Green磁珠偶联金纳米颗粒实时免疫聚合酶链反应(MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR),用于临床疑似EPTB患者中MPT-64+CFP-10蛋白的定量检测。在EPTB病例中,通过MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR对宽范围(270 fg/ml - 9.9 ng/ml)的MPT-64+CFP-10进行了定量,而磁酶联免疫吸附测定(magneto-ELISA)显示的范围较窄(1.8 - 10 ng/ml)。此外,MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR在EPTB患者(n = 51)和非结核对照组(n = 49)中分别达到了高灵敏度(88.2%)和特异性(100%)。与MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR相比,MB-AuNP-I-PCR/磁酶联免疫吸附测定的灵敏度均显著降低(p < 0.05 - 0.01)。本文所述的MB-AuNP-RT-I-PCR显示出良好的诊断准确性,有望转化为一种可靠的诊断试剂盒。
