The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has underscored the need for rapid and accurate diagnostic methods. Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) has emerged as a promising molecular tool in least developed countries due to its simplicity, speed, and sensitivity. Nevertheless, reliable SARS-CoV-2 detection can be challenged by the chain custody of the samples. In this context, carrier RNA can act as a preservative. In this study, we explored the potential of yeast total and transference RNA (tRNA) in the SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP. We have found that most optimal conditions are reached with 1 μg/μL tRNA in the RT-LAMP reaction.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病大流行凸显了对快速准确诊断方法的需求。逆转录环介导等温扩增技术(RT-LAMP)因其简单、快速和灵敏,已成为最不发达国家一种很有前景的分子工具。然而,样本的链条保管可能会对可靠检测SARS-CoV-2构成挑战。在这种情况下,载体RNA可以起到防腐剂的作用。在本研究中,我们探索了酵母总RNA和转移RNA(tRNA)在SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP中的潜力。我们发现,在RT-LAMP反应中加入1μg/μL的tRNA可达到最佳条件。
