ABSTRACT
Common reference methods for COVID-19 variant diagnosis include viral sequencing and PCR-based methods. However, sequencing is tedious, expensive, and time-consuming, while PCR-based methods have high risk of insensitive detection in variant-prone regions and are susceptible to potential background signal interference in biological samples. Here, we report a loop-mediated interference reduction isothermal nucleic acid amplification (LM-IR-INA) strategy for highly sensitive single-base mutation detection in viral variants. This strategy exploits the advantages of nicking endonuclease-mediated isothermal amplification, luminescent iridium(III) probes, and time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES). Using the LM-IR-INA strategy, we established a luminescence platform for diagnosing COVID-19 D796Y single-base substitution detection with a detection limit of 2.01 × 105 copies/µL in a linear range of 6.01 × 105 to 3.76 × 108 copies/µL and an excellent specificity with a variant/wild-type ratio of significantly less than 0.0625%. The developed TRES-based method was also successfully applied to detect D796Y single-base substitution sequence in complicated biological samples, including throat and blood, and was a superior to steady-state technique. LM-IR-INA was also demonstrated for detecting the single-base substitution D614G as well as the multiple-base mutation H69/V70del without mutual interference, indicating that this approach has the potential to be used as a universal viral variant detection strategy.
