A multiplexed TSA/CRISPR-mediated one-pot system for rapid detection of high-risk animal-derived infectious diseases
The importance of rapid and convenient pathogen detection has been emphasized by the alarming threat of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic since 2019. Point-of-care testing (POCT) provides rapid diagnostic results directly at the sampling site. However, isothermal amplification-based POCT faces technical challenges including primer design complexity and false-positive rates. To address these limitations, we developed the Thermostatic Step Amplification (TSA)/Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) One-Pot System (TCOPS). This sensitive, rapid, and efficient platform specifically detects Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Mpox virus (MPXV) and Rabíes virus (RV) through integrated amplification and CRISPR-based detection. Our integrated TCOPS overcomes the technical challenges through single-tube reactions combining thermostatic amplification and CRISPR detection, reducing contamination while maintaining high accuracy for field applications. TCOPS enables single-tube CRISPR detection of high-risk viruses, with 10 copies/μL sensitivity shown using cloned DNA template for RV. In evaluations against Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) using 50 clinical samples, TCOPS incorporating freeze-dried reagents and a newly developed miniature fluorescence system (Q max) demonstrated >90 % sensitivity and 100 % specificity. Combined with the portable Q max device and its lyophilized reagent kit, TCOPS enables simple, rapid detection of multiple zoonotic viruses (SARS-CoV-2, MPXV, and RV) at the point of care. This integrated system achieves high sensitivity and specificity while establishing a practical, field-deployable prototype for next-generation POCT applications in resource-limited settings.
