In addition, the process of distributing the reaction system in digital PCR experiments can greatly reduce the concentration of background sequences that compete with target sequences locally. Therefore, digital PCR is particularly suitable for detecting rare mutations in complex backgrounds.

技术领域
本发明涉及核酸序列检测领域,具体涉及一种对靶标核酸进行检测的方法,更具体地,本发明涉及一种使用通用探针在数字PCR上实现对单重或多重靶核酸进行检测的方法。
背景技术
聚合酶链式反应(PCR)是不采用活的生物体而对DNA进行酶复制的分子生物学技术。PCR通常用于医学和生物研究实验室以承担多种任务,例如感染性疾病的诊断、基因克隆、实验动物表型鉴定、转录组研究、遗传疾病的检测、基因指纹的鉴定、亲子鉴定等。由于其无可比拟的复制和精确能力,PCR被分子生物学家认为是核酸检测的首选方法。上世纪90年代后期,美国ABI公司推出的实时荧光定量PCR(Real Time Quantitative PCR,qPCR)技术及相关产品更是将PCR发展成为一种高灵敏、高特异性和精确定量的核酸序列分析技术。
数字PCR(digital PCR,dPCR)技术是一种核酸分子绝对定量技术,其利用极限稀释的原理将一个荧光定量PCR反应体系分配到成千上万份单独的纳升级微反应器中,使得每个微反应器中包含或不包含1个或多个拷贝的目标核酸分子(DNA靶标),再同时进行单分子模板PCR扩增。不同于荧光定量PCR在每个扩增循环进行时采集荧光的方法,数字PCR在扩增结束后对每个反应单元的荧光信号进行独立采集,最后通过泊松分布的原理及阳性/阴性的反应单元的比例得出目标分子的原始拷贝数或浓度。
相较于荧光定量PCR,数字PCR不依靠Ct值和标准曲线就可以进行精确的绝对定量检测,具有灵敏度高以及精确度高的优势。由于数字PCR在进行结果判读时仅判断“有/无“两种扩增状态,因此也不需要检测荧光信号与设定阈值线的交点,完全不依赖于Ct值的鉴定,所以数字PCR反应和结果判读受扩增效率的影响大大降低,对PCR反应抑制物的耐受能力大大提高。此外,数字PCR实验中对反应体系进行分配的过程可以极大程度上在局部降低与靶标序列有竞争作用的背景序列浓度,因此,数字PCR特别适 合在复杂背景中检测稀有突变,目前多应用在液体活检中,实现在肿瘤患者外周血中检测稀有突变标志物。
传统试样检测装置在进行多重核酸检测的过程中,先对包含待测靶序列的核酸进行扩增,然后在不同温度下进行信号采集,不同温度下获得的信号存在信号重叠的情况(即不同靶序列同时产生信号),传统计算方法是通过图像处理或者其他信号计算方法将重叠的信号分开,再分别计算每种靶序列产生的信号值,此种方法计算复杂,且容易带来计算误差。
发明内容
为解决上述问题,本发明提供了一种对靶标核酸进行检测的方法,可以进行1种靶标或2种以上靶标核酸的检测,该方法先对包含待测靶序列的核酸进行扩增,然后进行信号采集,通过设置扩增时退火温度以及信号采集时的采集温度,能够实现在不同温度下获得单一信号(单次信号采集时最多只有一种靶序列产生信号)。当存在2种以上靶标时,本发明要解决的问题还包括如何在单管反应中检测并区分多种不同靶标,并且在存在多组引物的情况下避免因为引物二聚体而出现假阳性信号。
为此,第一方面,本发明提供了一种对靶标核酸进行检测的方法,包括如下步骤:
S100,将引物探针组合物、待测样本和扩增试剂混合,获得反应体系;所述扩增试剂包括DNA聚合酶和dNTPs;
S200,对所述反应体系进行第1次PCR扩增,扩增时采用的退火温度为T1;
S300,进行以下任一操作:
操作1,包括:
S310,在第1信号采集温度t1下进行第1次信号采集;
S320,进行第2次PCR扩增,扩增时采用的退火温度为T2;
操作2,包括:
S310’,在第1信号采集温度t1下进行第1次信号采集;
操作3,包括:
S310”,进行第2次PCR扩增,扩增时采用的退火温度为T2;
S320”,在第1信号采集温度t1下进行第1次信号采集;
以上操作满足:T1>T2,T2<t1;
S400,在第2信号采集温度t2下进行第2次信号采集,所述t2>t1,且t2>T1;
其中,待测样本中的待检测靶标的种类为1种;
所述第1次信号采集、第2次信号采集中最多只有1次信号采集中含有靶标的信号。
在某些实施例中,第1次PCR扩增之后或第1和2次PCR扩增之后进行一次信号采集,信号采集温度为依次升高(t2>t1)。某些实施例中,连续进行2次PCR,或只进行1次PCR,均能生成与探针结合的双链产物,当采用较低的温度(t1)进行信号采集时,由于双链产物的形成,产生可检测的信号变化; 然后采用更高温度(t2)进行信号采集时,由于t2高于所述双链产物的熔解温度,则双链产物呈单链状态,t2时采集的信号与t1时采集的信号不同,即,两次采集的信号不同,能更准确地证明靶核酸的存在。
某些实施例中,进行2次PCR和2次信号采集,且PCR和信号采集交替进行:PCR扩增所采用的退火温度为依次降低(T2<T1)但信号采集温度为依次升高(t2>t1)。即,当采用某一温度作为PCR的退火温度进行PCR循环扩增时,靶核酸所形成的单链预产物的退火温度比该温度低,不能与探针结合形成双链产物,不能引起检测信号变化;此次PCR扩增之后,即在另一温度下进行信号采集,靶核酸所形成的单链预产物与探针的双链产物呈双链状态,并产生可检测的靶核酸信号。两次采集的信号不同,更准确地证明靶核酸的存在。
因此,采用上述的PCR检测方法,能更准确地证明靶核酸的存在或不存在:当存在靶核酸时,两次采集的信号不同,只有1次信号采集中含有最多1种靶核酸的信号;若不存在该靶核酸,则两次信号采集都无任何靶核酸的信号。
T2<T1,是指第2次PCR的退火温度,与第1次PCR的退火温度存在大小差异,两者的退火温度差异,使得第2次PCR扩增后、与某种探针形成的双链产物的种类数,相比第1次PCR扩增后、与该种探针形成的双链产物的种类数,最多增加1种(不增加,是指待测产物中没有相应的靶核酸)。某些实施例中,T2与T1的温度相差4℃以上,例如,相差4-40℃,又例如,相差4-30℃、4-20℃、4-18℃、4-15℃、4-12℃、4-10℃、4-8℃、4-6℃或4-5℃等。
t2>t1,是指第2次信号采集的温度,与第1次信号采集的温度存在大小差异,两种的温度差异,使得第2次信号采集的信号,与第1次信号采集的信号不同。某些实施例中,t2与t1温度相差6℃以上;例如,相差6-46℃,又例如,相差6-40℃、6-35℃、6-30℃、6-25℃、6-20℃、6-18℃、6-15℃、6-12℃、6-10℃、6-8℃或6-7℃等。
T2<t1,是指第2次PCR的退火温度,与第1次信号采集的温度存在大小差异。某些实施例中,T2与t1的温度相差5℃以上,例如,相差5-50℃,又例如,相差5-40℃、5-30℃、5-20℃、5-18℃、5-15℃、5-12℃、5-10℃、5-8℃、5-7℃或5-6℃等。
t2>T1,是指第1次PCR的退火温度,与第2次信号采集的温度存在大小差异。某些实施例中,t2与T1的温度相差7℃以上,例如,相差7-50℃,又例如,相差7-40℃、7-30℃、7-20℃、7-18℃、7-15℃、7-12℃、7-10℃或7-8℃等。

具体的,延伸0个碱基指的是该单链预产物与探针(P)特异性结合(杂交)后不发生延伸。本领域技术人员可根据实际需求,通过对引物组中引物序列和/或探针的序列进行设计,实现上述“特异性结合但不发生延伸”的效果,例如,设计使其产生的第一单链预产物结合在探针的5’末端,或者,设计使其产生的第一单链预产物的3’末端含有不与探针互补配对的区域。
根据本发明的优选实施方式,所述探针(P)为一段不与任何靶标序列配对结合的自由设计序列,包括探针信号检测区(H),探针上修饰有检测标记;所述引物包括正向引物(F)和/或反向引物(R);

其中,所述反向引物(R)的靶标序列结合区为与靶标序列特异性配对结合的序列;所述反向引物(R)的引物信号检测区(h)均为一段不与任何靶标序列配对结合的序列,所述引物信号检测区(h)的互补序列(h’)与探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)特异性配对结合;所述反向引物(R)的延伸阻滞区(M)为不与探针(P)任一部分的序列或任何靶标序列相同或互补的自由设计序列;
进一步优选地,所述反向引物(R)中引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区之间有0-20个碱基的间隔。其中,间隔的碱基数量可以为0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20或其组成的范围。某些实施例中,反向引物(R)中延伸阻滞区(M)和引物信号检测区(h)之间有0-20个碱基的间隔。其中,间隔的碱基数量可以为0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20或其组成的范围。
本发明中,“特异性配对结合”,或“特异性结合”,是指具有互补序列的两条单链核酸分子在一定的条件下(适宜的温度及离子强度等)碱基互补配对结合。本领域技术人员熟知,两条单链核酸分子并非完全互补配对才能特异性结合,存在少数碱基错配的情况下,也能特异性结合。

所述探针(P)还包括引物锚定区(A’),所述引物锚定区(A’)为与所述正向引物(F)的探针锚定区(A)互补的序列;进一步优选地,所述探针(P)中的所述引物锚定区(A’)和所述探针信号检测区(H)之间有0-20个碱基的间隔。
根据本发明的优选实施方式,所述正向引物和所述反向引物的结构可以互换;例如,“反向引物(R)包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区,正向引物(F)包含靶标序列结合区”,引物结构可以互换 成“正向引物(F)包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区,反向引物(R)包含靶标序列结合区”;或者,“反向引物(R)包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区,正向引物(F)包含探针锚定区(A)和靶标序列结合区”引物结构可以互换成“正向引物(F)包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区,反向引物(R)包含探针锚定区(A)和靶标序列结合区”。

在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述对靶标核酸进行检测的方法,为数字PCR检测方法;在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述对靶标核酸进行检测的方法,对所述反应体系进行第1次PCR扩增之前,还包括:将所述反应体系分配到500个以上的反应单元中,每个反应单元含有1个待测样本的靶标核酸或不含有待测样本的靶标核酸;优选地,所述信号采集为通过相机对荧光信号进行采集;所述信号通道采集为在荧光信号通道下通过相机对荧光信号进行采集。在上述对靶标核酸进行检测的方法中,引物探针组合物可以为本领域常规的引物探针组合物,例如,含有分子信标的引物探针组合物,也可以是下述第三方面提供的用于进行核酸序列检测的引物探针组合物。
为此,第二方面,本发明提供了一种对2种以上靶标核酸进行检测的方法,包括如下步骤:
将引物探针组合物、待测样本和扩增试剂混合,获得反应体系;所述引物探针组合物包括至少1种探针(P)、至少2种针对不同靶标的引物;所述扩增试剂包括DNA聚合酶和dNTPs;
对所述反应体系进行n次PCR扩增和n次信号采集;每次PCR扩增后进行一次信号采集,每次信号采集包括至少1次信号通道采集;每次信号通道采集中最多含有1种靶标的信号;
所述第n次PCR扩增时采用的退火温度为Tn,所述第n次信号采集时采用的采集温度为tn,Tn<tn;Tn<T(n-1),且Tn<t(n-1);tn>t(n-1),且tn>T(n-1);
所述n为≥2的整数,所述n≤待测样本中待测的靶标种类数。
在某些实施例中,每次PCR扩增之后进行一次信号采集,PCR扩增所采用的退火温度为依次降低(Tn<T(n-1)),但信号采集温度为依次升高(tn>t(n-1))。即,当采用某一温度作为PCR的退火温度进行PCR循环扩增时,退火温度比该温度高的单链预产物,均能与探针结合形成双链产物而引起检测信号变化,退火温度比该温低的单链预产物,仍处于单链状态;此次PCR扩增之后,即在另一温度下进行信号采集,仅有1种单链预产物与探针的双链产物呈双链状态,并产生可检测的靶核酸信号。(因为,其他种类的单链预产物:一部分由于退火温度更低,在PCR循环扩增阶段不能与探针退火形成双链产物;另一部分由于退火温度高,在PCR循环扩增阶段能与探针退火形成双链产物,但由于这些双链产物的熔解温度更低,低于信号采集的温度,生成的双链产物也在该信号采集温度下呈单链状态。)因此,采用上述的PCR检测方法,能够实现在每次信号通道采集的信号,最多只有1种靶核酸的信号,若不存在该靶核酸,则无任何靶核酸的信号。
Tn<T(n-1),是指第n次PCR的退火温度,与第n-1次PCR的退火温度存在大小差异,两者的退火温度差异,使得第n次PCR扩增后、与某种探针形成的双链产物的种类数,相比第n-1次PCR扩增后、与该种探针形成的双链产物的种类数,最多增加1种(不增加,是指待测产物中没有相应的靶核酸)。某些实施例中,Tn与T(n-1)的温度相差4℃以上,例如,相差4-40℃,又例如,相差4-30℃、4-20℃、4-18℃、4-15℃、4-12℃、4-10℃、4-8℃、4-6℃或4-5℃等。
tn>t(n-1),是指第n次信号采集的温度,与第n-1次信号采集的温度存在大小差异,两种的温度差异,使得第n次信号采集时的双链产物,与第n-1次信号采集时的双链产物不同。例如,在第n-1次信号采集时的双链产物为甲,第n次信号采集时的双链产物为乙(在第n次信号采集时,由于双链产物甲的熔解温度低于第n次信号采集时的温度,此时,双链产物甲呈单链状态)。某些实施例中,tn与t(n-1)温度相差6℃以上;例如,相差6-46℃,又例如,相差6-40℃、6-35℃、6-30℃、6-25℃、6-20℃、6-18℃、6-15℃、6-12℃、6-10℃、6-8℃或6-7℃等。
Tn<tn,是指第n次PCR的退火温度,与第n次信号采集的温度存在大小差异,两种温度的差异,使得第n次PCR扩增后可以获得特定的双链产物,在第n次信号采集时可以获得该双链产物的信号。为了获得该双链产物的信号,在第n次信号采集时(信号采集温度tn的条件下),该双链产物不呈现单链状态。某些实施例中,Tn与tn相差1℃以上,例如,相差1-50℃、1-40℃、1-30℃、1-25℃、2-20℃、2-15℃、2-12℃、2-10℃、2-7℃、2-6℃、2-5℃、3-5℃或4-5℃等。某些实施例中,采用的信号采集温度tn,小于等于该双链产物的熔解温度。
Tn<t(n-1),是指第n次PCR的退火温度,与第n-1次信号采集的温度存在大小差异,两种温度的差异,使得第n-1次信号采集时的双链产物,在第n次PCR时,该双链产物依然存在,同时,还产生了与该双链产物不同的另一种双链产物。某些实施例中,Tn与t(n-1)的温度相差5℃以上,例如,相差5-50℃,又例如,相差5-40℃、5-30℃、5-20℃、5-18℃、5-15℃、5-12℃、5-10℃、5-8℃、5-7℃或5-6℃等。
tn>T(n-1),是指第n-1次PCR的退火温度,与第n次信号采集的温度存在大小差异。某些实施例中,tn与T(n-1)的温度相差7℃以上,例如,相差7-50℃,又例如,相差7-40℃、7-30℃、7-20℃、7-18℃、7-15℃、7-12℃、7-10℃或7-8℃等。
本发明中,探针的种类数根据其检测标记的种类数进行分类。不同种类的探针,其修饰的检测标记不同(某些实施例中,检测标记即为检测基团),可以实现在不同的信号通道(或荧光通道)下进行信号采集。例如,本发明的引物探针组合物中含有2种探针,1种探针修饰的检测基团是VIC和BHQ1,与该种探针特异性结合形成的双链产物,在VIC通道进行信号采集;另1种探针修饰的检测基团是FAM和BHQ1,与该种探针特异性结合形成的双链产物,在FAM通道进行信号采集。
某些实施例中,每次PCR扩增后进行一次信号采集,每次信号采集包括m次信号通道采集,m为≥1的整数,m为所述引物探针组合物中探针的检测基团的种类数。如前所述,每次PCR扩增后,相比于上一次PCR扩增,与同种探针形成的双链产物的种类数最多增加1种。如果引物探针组合物中,探针的种类数为m,则每次PCR扩增后,相比于上一次PCR扩增,与m种探针形成的双链产物的种类数最多增加m种(与每1种探针形成的双链产物的种类数最多增加1种)。通过m次不同的信号通道采集,可以实现对增加的m种双链产物所对应的靶核酸信号进行区别,且互不交叉,从而实现多重检测。
根据本发明的优选实施方式,所述至少1次信号采集包括m次信号通道采集,所述m为所述引物探针组合物中探针的检测标记的种类数,并且,n与m的乘积≥待测样本中待测的靶标种类数。为了检测仪器的程序设计方便,某些实施例中,如果引物探针组合物中有2种探针,则每次信号采集都是在2个信号通道下进行2次信号通道采集。某些实施例中,待测样本中有5种靶标,针对这5种靶标的引物探针组合物中,含有2种探针,第一探针所检测的靶标种类是3种,第二探针所检测的靶标种类是2种,则对反应产物只需要进行3次信号采集,每次信号采集都是在2个信号通道下进行的2次信号通道采集。如此,存在某一信号通道下,进行了3次信号采集,但所对应的靶标只有2种,则出现某次信号通道采集的信号无靶标,或者相邻两次信号通道采集的信号相同的情况。在这些实施例中,以检测靶标数量最多的检测通道为准,设置信号采集次数,实现信号采集的次数<靶核酸的种类数,减少了信号采集的次数。虽然没有完全满足其他信号通道的信号采集次数最少的情况,但对仪器程序的设置更为简便,本领域技术人员可根据实际需求进行选择。某些实施例中,本领域技术人员根据引物探针组合物的设计情况,选择在没有预期靶标的通道不进行信号采集,从而减少信号采集的次数,简化操作步骤。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述的检测方法,所述第1次PCR扩增时采用的退火温度为T1,所述第1次信号采集时采用的采集温度为t1;所述T1≤t1。
某些实施例中,第1次PCR扩增时(其退火温度为T1),引物组与探针产生的单链预产物中,有1种单链预产物与探针特异性结合并延伸0个碱基后形成双链产物,该单链预产物的退火温度略小于其熔解温度(通常情况下,寡核苷酸的退火温度通常比该寡核苷酸的熔解温度(Tm)低)。在t1(T1≤t1<其熔解温度)下进行信号采集,此时该单链预产物与探针呈双链状态,使探针产生可检测的信号变化。某些实施例中,也可以在t1(t1≤T1)下进行信号采集,此时该单链预产物与探针也呈双链状态,使探针产生可检测的信号变化。本领域技术人员可根据实际需求(例如,信号采集时,单链预产物与探针呈双链状态,采集的信号强度大等实际需求),对信号采集温度t1的温度进行具体选择。

在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述的对2种以上靶标核酸进行检测的方法,为数字PCR检测方法;在本发明的一些实施方式中,对所述反应体系进行第1次PCR扩增之前,还包括:将所述反应体系分配到500个以上的反应单元中,每个反应单元含有1个待测样本的靶标核酸或不含有待测样本的靶标核酸; 优选地,所述信号采集为通过相机对荧光信号进行采集;所述信号通道采集为在荧光信号通道下通过相机对荧光信号进行采集。
在上述对靶标核酸进行检测的方法中,引物探针组合物可以为本领域常规的引物探针组合物,例如,含有分子信标的引物探针组合物,也可以是下述第三方面提供的用于进行核酸序列检测的引物探针组合物。
为此,第三方面,本发明提供了一种用于进行核酸序列检测的引物探针组合物,包括第一探针和第一引物混合物;
所述第一引物混合物包括至少2种引物组,不同种引物组分别与不同种靶核酸特异性结合;
所述第一引物混合物中的引物组与其对应的靶核酸特异性结合后产生预产物,所述预产物中含有与第一探针特异性结合的单链预产物,所述单链预产物与第一探针特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基后形成双链产物,所述双链产物的形成引起可检测的信号变化;
所述第一引物混合物中不同种的引物组与其对应的靶核酸产生的单链预产物不同;当第一单链预产物与第一探针的退火温度,高于第二单链预产物与第一探针的退火温度时,所述第一单链预产物与第一探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度,低于所述第二单链预产物与第一探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度。
所述第一探针,是指一类修饰的检测标记相同,其碱基序列可以相同、也可以不同的1类探针。即,探针的种类数根据其检测标记的种类数进行分类。某些实施例中,1种探针产生的信号可以在1个检测通道(或荧光通道)中进行信号采集;2种探针产生的信号需要在2个不同检测通道中进行信号采集。某些实施例中,检测标记相同,并不意味着修饰的检测基团完全相同,例如,检测基团包括荧光基团和猝灭基团,只要荧光基团相同即可,也可以实现探针产生的信号可以在1个检测通道(或荧光通道)中进行信号采集。
“至少2种引物组”,是指,引物组的种类至少为2种,每种引物组所针对的靶核酸种类不一样,即,每种引物组与其对应的靶核酸能够实现特异性结合。某些实施例中,1种引物组对1类不分型别的靶核酸都能够实现特异性结合,则这1类不分型的靶核酸,也可以认为是1种靶核酸。
某些实施例中,引物组为双引物情况,即,包括一对针对同一靶核酸的上游引物和下游引物。某些实施例中,引物组为单引物情况,即,仅含有一种针对某靶核酸的引物,该引物能与其对应的靶核酸特异性结合而不能与其他种类的靶核酸特异性结合。
某些实施例中,不同种类的引物组中可能存在共用引物的情况,例如,两种引物组中,均包括同样一种引物。同样一种引物,是指引物的序列完全相同。
通常情况下,寡核苷酸的退火温度通常比该寡核苷酸的熔解温度(Tm)低约5℃,尽管它可以被确定为比所述寡核苷酸的Tm低约4.9、4.8、4.7、4.6、4.5、4.4、4.3、4.2、4.1、3.9、3.8、3.7、3.6、3.5、3.4、3.3、3.2、3.1、3.0℃或更低,或其间的任何范围(包括端值)。寡核苷酸的退火温度、熔解温度,与寡核苷酸的长度、组成等因素有关。本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求,对寡核苷酸的退火温度和熔解 温度进行调节,例如,提高寡核苷酸的GC含量、使寡核苷酸的长度更长,可获得更高的熔解温度。
某些实施例中,某种引物组与其靶核酸产生的单链预产物与探针特异性结合所需的退火温度越低,该单链预产物与探针特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基形成的双链产物的熔解温度就越高。例如,通过调整引物组的长度和/或序列,使引物组与靶核酸特异性结合后得到的单链预产物不同。不同的单链预产物与相同探针结合的位置不同,从而实现第一单链预产物与探针的退火温度(此处简称“第一退火温度”)、高于第二单链预产物与探针的退火温度(此处简称“第二退火温度”),即,第一退火温度高于第二退火温度;并且,由于不同的单链预产物与相同探针结合的位置不同,还可以实现对不同单链预产物与探针结合并延伸的长度进行调整,从而实现第一单链预产物与探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度(此处简称“第一熔解温度”)、低于所述第二单链预产物与探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度(此处简称“第二熔解温度”),即,第一熔解温度低于第二熔解温度。
本发明中,表述“高于”、“低于”用于描述两个温度之间存在差异,且该差异的存在,可以使不同种的单链预产物在某一特定温度进行信号采集时,实现单链或双链的不同状态,例如,某一特定信号温度下,第一单链预产物呈单链状态,而第二单链预产物与探针结合呈现双链状态。某些实施例中,“高于”用于描述两个退火温度之间相差4℃以上;例如,相差4-40℃,又例如,相差4-30℃、4-20℃、4-18℃、4-15℃、4-12℃、4-10℃、4-8℃、4-6℃或4-5℃等。某些实施例中,“低于”用于描述两个熔解温度之间相差6℃以上;例如,相差6-46℃,又例如,相差6-40℃、6-35℃、6-30℃、6-25℃、6-20℃、6-18℃、6-15℃、6-12℃、6-10℃、6-8℃或6-7℃等。
采用上述的引物探针组合物,通过对退火温度和熔解温度的高、低差异的设置,可实现:在某个温度下进行信号采集时,最多只有1种单链预产物与探针处于双链状态,因此,最多产生1种靶核酸的信号(所述“最多”,是指,若待测样本中无该靶核酸,则不产生信号;若有,则只有该种靶核酸的信号,不会同时出现其他靶核酸信号的情况)。因此,实现了同一温度下采集的信号不重叠。
某些实施例中,引物探针组合物中,有1种探针(第一探针)和2种引物组,2种引物组分别为第一引物组和第二引物组;第一引物组和第二引物组分别与第一靶核酸和第二靶核酸特异性结合后,分别产生第一单链预产物和第二单链预产物,第一单链预产物与探针的退火温度为第一退火温度,第二单链预产物与探针的退火温度为第二退火温度;第一单链预产物与探针产生的双链产物为第一双链产物,其熔解温度为第一熔解温度,第二单链预产物与探针产生的双链产物为第二双链产物,其熔解温度为第二熔解温度。在采用T1(第一退火温度≥T1>第二退火温度)的退火温度进行PCR循环后,仅产生第一双链产物;然后在t1的温度下进行第一次信号采集(t1<第一熔解温度),此时,仅第一双链产物处于双链状态,产生的信号为第一靶核酸的信号;然后在采用T2(第二退火温度≥T2)的退火温度进行PCR循环后,产生第二双链产物,且反应体系中还含有第一双链产物;然后在t2的温度下进行第二次信号采集(第一熔解温度<t2<第二熔解温度),此时,仅第二双链产物处于双链状态,产生的信号为第二靶核酸的信号(由于t2>第一熔解温度,所以第一双链产物为解链状态,无信号产生)。
类似地,当含有3种以上引物组时,当采用某一温度作为PCR的退火温度进行PCR循环扩增时,退火温度比该温度高的单链预产物,均能与探针结合形成双链产物,退火温度比该温低的单链预产物,仍处于单链状态;当采用某一温度进行信号采集时,仅有1种单链预产物与探针的双链产物呈双链状态,并产生可检测的靶核酸信号。其他种类的单链预产物,一部分由于退火温度低,在PCR循环扩增阶段不能与探针退火形成双链产物;另一部分由于退火温度高,在PCR循环扩增阶段能与探针退火形成双链产物,但由于这些双链产物的熔解温度比信号采集的温度低,生成的双链产物也在该信号采集温度下呈单链状态。
本发明中,表述“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”和“第五”等仅用于描述目的,用以区分所限定的对象,而不以任何方式限定次序或主次。
某些实施例中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述引物探针组合物中包括针对第一靶核酸的第一引物组,所述第一引物组与第一靶核酸特异性结合后产生第一预产物,所述第一预产物中含有与探针特异性结合的第一单链预产物,所述第一单链预产物与探针特异性结合并延伸0个碱基后形成第一双链产物,所述第一双链产物的形成引起可检测的信号变化;所述第一单链预产物与探针的退火温度,高于其他单链预产物与相同探针的退火温度;所述第一单链预产物与探针产生的第一双链产物的熔解温度,低于其他单链预产物与相同探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度。
在该实施例中,针对某一靶核酸的引物组(此处描述为“第一引物组”),其产生的第一单链预产物与探针特异性结合后不发生延伸。本领域技术人员可根据实际需求,通过对引物组中引物序列和/或探针的序列进行设计,实现上述“特异性结合但不发生延伸”的效果,例如,设计使其产生的第一单链预产物结合在探针的5’末端,或者,设计使其产生的第一单链预产物的3’末端含有不与探针互补配对的区域。
上述“第一”仅用于描述、实现区分的目的,用以区分所限定的对象,而不以任何方式限定次序或主次,不用于限定靶核酸、引物组、预产物、单链预产物、或双链产物的种类数量。在此,仅为了描述在上述的引物探针组合物中,有1种引物组产生的单链预产物与探针特异性结合后,不发生延伸的情况,且该单链预产物与探针的退火温度最高(高于其他任何种类的单链预产物与相同探针的退火温度)、但所形成的双链产物的熔解温度最低(低于其他任何种类的双链产物的熔解温度)。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述引物探针组合物中还包括第二探针和第二引物混合物;所述第二探针与所述第一探针的碱基序列不同,且修饰的检测标记也不相同;所述第二引物混合物包括至少1种引物组,不同种引物组分别与不同种靶核酸特异性结合。
该实施方式中,引物探针组合物中包括另外一种探针(第二探针)。探针的种类数根据其检测标记的种类数进行分类。不同种类的探针由于检测标记不同,需要在不同的检测通道下进行信号采集。某些实施例中,检测标记不同,并不意味着修饰的检测基团完全不相同,例如,检测基团包括荧光基团和猝灭基团,只要荧光基团不相同(猝灭基团可以相同,也可以不同),也可以实现2种探针产生的信号在2个检测通道(或荧光通道)中进行信号采集。该实施例中,探针的种类数增加,可实现对不同的靶核酸在不同 通道下进行信号检测,可实现更多重的靶核酸检测。
本实施例中,出现“第一探针”、“第二探针”,并不用于限定作用,也不用于限定本实施例中仅有2种探针,此处仅用于区分“第一探针”和“第二探针”属于不同种类的探针,两种探针所修饰的检测标记不同、且碱基序列也不相同。某些实施例中,为检测更多种类的靶核酸,在用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物还包括第三探针和第三引物混合物、第四探针和第四引物混合物、第五探针和第五引物混合物、第六探针和第六引物混合物、或者更多探针和引物混合物。不同探针所修饰的检测标记不同、且碱基序列也不相同;不同引物混合物中的引物组也不相同。也就是说,为实现更多重的靶核酸检测,本领域技术人员可以根据需要,设计更多种与靶核酸对应的引物组、以及更多种与引物组对应的探针。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述第二引物混合物中的引物组与其对应的靶核酸特异性结合后产生预产物,所述预产物中含有与第二探针特异性结合的单链预产物,所述单链预产物与第二探针特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基后形成双链产物,所述双链产物的形成引起可检测的信号变化;
优选地,第二引物混合物中不同种的引物组与其对应的靶核酸产生的单链预产物不同;当第三单链预产物与第二探针的退火温度,高于第四单链预产物与第二探针的退火温度时,所述第三单链预产物与第二探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度,低于所述第四单链预产物与第二探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度。
上述退火温度和熔解温度的高低关系设置,能够实现在某个检测通道的某一检测温度下,采集的信号最多为1种靶核酸的信号(所述“最多”,是指,若待测样本中无该靶核酸,则不产生信号;若有,则只有该种靶核酸的信号,不会同时出现其他靶核酸信号的情况)。
本发明中,“第三”、“第四”等仅用于描述目的,用以区分所限定的对象,而不以任何方式限定次序或主次,此实施例中的“第三”仅用于与“第四”进行区分,即“第三单链预产物”和“第四单链预产物”属于不同的种类,其对应的靶核酸种类不同。
本发明中,“第三”、“第四”等仅用于描述目的,用以区分所限定的对象,也不用于限定单链预产物的种类数量。例如,本实施例中出现“第四单链预产物”,并不用于限定本实施例中仅有4种靶核酸。某些实施例中,还包括4种以上靶核酸,产生4种及以上的单链预产物。某些实施例中,第二引物混合物中包括3种及以上的引物组,这些引物组与其对应的靶核酸产生的单链预产物的退火温度、熔解温度,与第三单链预产物、第四单链预产物类似,即,某种引物组与其靶核酸产生的单链预产物与探针特异性结合所需的退火温度越低,该单链预产物与探针特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基形成的双链产物的熔解温度就越高。以实现以下效果:当采用某一温度作为PCR的退火温度进行PCR循环扩增时,退火温度比该温度高的单链预产物,均能与第二探针结合形成双链产物,退火温度比该温低的单链预产物,仍处于单链状态;当采用某一温度进行信号采集时,仅有1种单链预产物与第二探针的双链产物呈双链状态,并产生可检测的靶核酸信号。其他种类的单链预产物,一部分由于退火温度低,在PCR循环扩增阶段不能与第二探针退火形成双链产物;另一部分由于退火温度高,在PCR循环扩增阶段能与第二探针退火形成双链产物,但由于 这些双链产物的熔解温度比信号采集的温度低,生成的双链产物也在该信号采集温度下呈单链状态。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述第一单链预产物与第一探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度,等于或相近于所述第三单链预产物与第二探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度;优选地,所述第一单链预产物与第一探针的退火温度,等于或相近于所述第三单链预产物与第二探针的退火温度。
该实施方式中,引物探针组合物中包括2种以上的探针。探针的种类数根据其检测标记的种类数进行分类。不同种类的探针由于检测标记不同,需要在不同的检测通道下进行信号采集。
本发明中,表述“等于”、“相近于”用于描述两个温度之间不存在差异,或者存在的差异较小。并且,由于差异较小,或者不存在差异,导致不同种的单链预产物在某一特定温度进行信号采集时,实现单链或双链的相同状态。例如,某一特定温度下,第一单链预产物与第三单链预产物均处于单链状态,或者第一单链预产物与第三单链预产物均处于双链状态。值得注意的是,虽然他们在某个特定温度进行信号采集时,可以均保持双链状态,但他们呈现双链状态时所结合的探针种类不同。某些实施例中,“等于”、“相近于”用于描述两个退火温度/两个熔解温度之间相差4℃以内;例如,相差0-4℃,优选地,相差002℃,更优选地,相差001℃。
该实施方式中,“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等仅用于描述目的,用以区分所限定的对象,而不以任何方式限定次序或主次,也不用于限定单链预产物或探针的种类数量。例如,本实施例中出现“第三单链预产物”,并不用于限定本实施例中仅有3种靶核酸、有3种单链预产物。此实施例中的“第三”仅用于与“第一”进行区分,即“第一单链预产物”和“第三单链预产物”属于不同的种类,其对应的靶核酸种类不同。又例如,本实施例中出现“第一探针”、“第二探针”,并不用于限定本实施例中仅有2种探针,此处仅用于区分“第一探针”和“第二探针”属于不同种类的探针,两种探针所修饰的检测基团不同、且碱基序列也不相同。该实施例还包括3种、或3种以上探针的情况。为实现更多重的靶核酸检测,本领域技术人员可以根据需要,设计更多种探针。
通过上述熔解温度相同或相近的设置,可实现:在某个温度下进行信号采集时,可以有2种以上的单链预产物与探针处于双链状态。但是,由于该温度下,呈现双链状态的不同单链预产物所结合的探针的种类是不一样的,可以通过采用相同温度、但在不同的检测通道下进行信号采集,以实现对不同的单链预产物所对应的靶核酸进行识别。如此,通过增加检测通道(荧光通道)的方式,可实现更多重的核酸检测。此外,还可以减少信号采集温度的变化次数,即,在某个信号采集温度下,只需转换检测通道即可实现对不同靶标进行检测;也可以减少PCR循环的次数,即,在某一次PCR循环后,相比于上一次PCR扩增,与每1种探针形成的双链产物的种类数最多增加1种(如果有2种探针,则增加2种双链产物)。
但是,值得注意的是,并不是只能通过上述熔解温度相同或相近的设置,才能实现在某个温度下进行信号采集时,可以有2种以上的单链预产物与探针处于双链状态(呈现双链状态的不同单链预产物所结合的探针的种类不同)。当熔解温度不相同或不相近的情况下(例如,两者相差6℃以上),通过调整信 号采集的温度,使其低于不同单链预产物与不同种类探针所产生的不同双链产物的熔解温度,也可实现上述效果。例如,第一单链预产物与第一探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度Tm1,不等于或不相近于所述第三单链预产物与第二探针产生的双链产物的熔解温度Tm2,通过调整信号采集的温度,使其低于Tm1和Tm2,则在该信号采集温度下,两种双链产物依然呈双链状态。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述第一探针或第二探针为一段不与任何靶核酸特异性结合的序列,其包括探针信号检测区(H),不同探针的探针信号检测区(H)的序列彼此不同;
所述引物组包括第一引物和第二引物,所述第一引物包含靶标序列结合区1;所述第二引物包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区2,且引物信号检测区(h)位于靶标序列结合区2的5’端;所述引物信号检测区(h)为一段不与任何靶核酸特异性结合、且与其对应探针的探针信号检测区(H)具有部分或全部相同的序列;不同引物组中第二引物的引物信号检测区(h)的序列彼此不同。
在某些实施例中,所述靶标序列结合区1和靶标序列结合区2分别与靶核酸的不同位置特异性结合。
某些实施例中,引物信号检测区(h)与探针的探针信号检测区(H)具有部分或全部相同的序列,是指,引物信号检测区(h)的反向互补序列(h’),能够与探针的探针信号检测区(H)的部分序列或全部序列特异性结合。
在某些实施例中,上述第一引物和第二引物与靶核酸特异性结合后产生预产物,所述预产物中含有一条具有引物信号检测区(h)的反向互补序列(h’)的单链预产物,该单链预产物的反向互补序列(h’)与探针的探针信号检测区(H)特异性结合后并延伸≥0个碱基后形成双链产物,所述双链产物的形成引起可检测的信号变化。
某些实施例中,不同引物组中的第二引物的引物信号检测区(h)的序列彼此不同,即,不同引物组中的第二引物的引物信号检测区(h)的序列的碱基不同和/或长度不同,使得不同单链预产物的反向互补序列(h’)的序列不同,不同单链预产物与探针特异性结合并延伸0个、或>0个碱基后形成不同的双链产物,不同的双链产物的熔解温度能够彼此分开;或者,不同单链预产物分别与不同种类的探针特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基后,形成不同的双链产物,不同的双链产物的熔解温度不能彼此分开,但由于不同双链产物的探针种类不同,可通过不同检测通道将其区分开。即,可通过熔解温度和/或检测通道,将不同种类的靶核酸进行区分,实现多重检测。
某些实施例中,第二引物的引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区2之间有0-20个碱基的间隔。其中,间隔的碱基数量可以为0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20或其组成的范围。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述第一探针或第二探针还包含引物锚定区(A’);所述第一引物混合物或第二引物混合物中的至少1种引物组的第一引物还包含探针锚定区(A),所述探针锚定区(A)位于靶标序列结合区1的5’端;所述探针锚定区(A)不与任何 靶核酸特异性结合、但与所述引物锚定区(A’)特异性结合。
上述引物组中的第一引物和第二引物与靶核酸特异性结合后产生预产物,该预产物中含有一条具有探针锚定区(A)、引物信号检测区(h)的反向互补序列(h’)的单链预产物,该单链预产物的探针锚定区(A)和反向互补序列(h’),分别与探针的引物锚定区(A’)、探针信号检测区(H)特异性结合后并延伸≥0个碱基后形成双链产物,所述双链产物的形成引起探针产生可检测的信号变化。
通过调整不同引物组中第一引物的探针锚定区(A),和/或,不同引物组中第二引物的引物信号检测区(h)的序列组成和/或长度,使得不同引物组与其靶核酸所产生的单链预产物不同,不同的单链预产物与探针特异性结合所产生的退火温度不同、特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基后形成的双链产物的熔解温度也不相同,以实现某种引物组与其靶核酸产生的单链预产物与探针特异性结合所需的退火温度越低,该单链预产物与探针特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基形成的双链产物的熔解温度就越高。
某些实施例中,不同引物组中第一引物的靶标序列结合区1的序列不同;不同引物组中第一引物的探针锚定区(A)的序列可以相同、也可以不同;优选地,第一引物的探针锚定区(A)和靶标序列结合区1之间有0-20个碱基的间隔。其中,间隔的碱基数量可以为0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20或其组成的范围。
在本发明的一些实施方式中,上述用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物,所述第一引物混合物或第二引物混合中,最多有1种引物组中的第二引物还包括延伸阻滞区(M),所述延伸阻滞区(M)位于引物信号检测区(h)的5’端,所述延伸阻滞区(M)及其互补序列,均不与任何探针或任何靶核酸特异性结合。
上述第一引物和含有延伸阻滞区(M)的第二引物分别与靶核酸特异性结合后产生预产物,所述预产物中含有一条具有引物信号检测区(h)的反向互补序列(h’)的单链预产物,所述单链预产物的反向互补序列(h’)与探针特异性结合并延伸0个碱基后形成双链产物(由于延伸阻滞区的存在,单链预产物与探针特异性结合后不产生延伸),从而引起探针产生可检测的信号变化。
在本发明的一些实施例中,引物与靶核酸特异性结合后,产生的单链预产物与探针特异性结合后不发生延伸(即,延伸0个碱基)。本领域技术人员可根据实际需求,通过对引物组中引物序列和/或探针的序列进行设计,实现上述“特异性结合但不发生延伸”的效果,例如,设计使其产生的第一单链预产物结合在探针的5’末端,或者,设计使其产生的第一单链预产物的3’末端含有不与探针互补配对的区域。
“第一引物混合物”、“第二引物混合物”,等仅用于描述目的,用以区分所限定的对象。两者均表示一组与探针特异性结合的引物混合物,该引物混合物中包括多种引物组,这些引物组中的第二引物含有的引物信号检测区(h)的反向互补序列(h’),均可以与同一种探针特异性结合。但是,“第一引物混合物”和“第二引物混合物”中,其引物组所特异性结合的探针的种类不同。
某些实施例中,一组与同一种探针特异性结合的引物混合物中,最多有1种引物组中的第二引物含有延伸阻滞区(M),该种引物组与靶核酸特异性结合后产生的单链预产物,与探针特异性结合所需的退 火温度最高、与探针特异性结合后不延伸产生的双链产物的熔解温度最低。
本发明中,“第一引物”、“第二引物”仅用于描述目的,用以区分所限定的对象,而不以任何方式限定次序或主次。例如,上述引物探针组合物中,引物组的第一引物和第二引物的结构可以互换,例如,第一引物包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区,第二引物包含靶标序列结合区;又例如,第一引物包含引物信号检测区(h)和靶标序列结合区,第二引物包含探针锚定区(A)和靶标序列结合区。某些实施例中,“第一引物”又名“正向引物”,“第二引物”又名“反向引物”。
本发明中,探针为一段不与任何靶核酸配对结合的自由设计序列,探针上修饰有检测标记。优选地,所述检测标记包括第一检测基团和第二检测基团,且所述第一检测基团和第二检测基团通过距离的变化产生信号的变化;优选地,所述第一检测基团与所述第二检测基团之间间隔3-250埃;优选地,间隔3-201埃;更优选地,间隔3-140埃;和/或,所述第一检测基团为荧光报告基团,所述第二检测基团为淬灭基团或其它能够与所述第一检测基团通过荧光共振能量转移产生信号变化的修饰基团。
本发明中,所述第一检测基团和第二检测基团在探针上的位置,使得单链预产物的反向互补序列(h’)与探针(P)特异性结合并延伸≥0个碱基后形成双链产物,只要该双链产物的形成,能够导致所述第一检测基团与第二检测基团的位置发生变化,即可引起探针产生可检测的信号变化。所述第一检测基团和所述第二检测基团的位置可以互换。
某些实施例中,在没有待测靶核酸存在时,无单链预产物与探针特异性结合,探针呈单链状态或其他二级结构,此时第一检测基团和第二检测基团之间的距离较近,荧光共振能量转移的效率较高;若第一引物中含有探针锚定区(A),在没有待测靶核酸存在时,即使探针的引物锚定区(A’)与第一引物中的探针锚定区(A)互补,但探针的其他部分呈单链状态或其他二级结构,此时第一检测基团和第二检测基团之间的距离依然较近,荧光共振能量转移的效率较高。而当待测靶核酸存在时,第一引物与第二引物分别与靶序列特异性结合并延伸产生双链扩增产物,其中一条单链扩增产物与探针特异性结合形成双链产物,此时第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离变长,荧光共振能量转移效率降低,使得荧光信号发生变化,可被仪器检测到。
为此,第四方面,本发明提供一种PCR检测试剂盒,包括第三方面的用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物。本领域技术人员知道,为实现PCR检测,该试剂盒还包括用于扩增的扩增试剂,例如,DNA聚合酶和dNTPs。当所述核酸模板为RNA时,所述扩增试剂还包括逆转录酶。扩增试剂还包括一些促进PCR反应的试剂,例如KCl、MgCl 2、Tris-HCl、二硫苏糖醇(DTT)、(NH 4) 2SO 4等。某些优选实施例中,本发明提供的PCR检测试剂盒为数字PCR检测试剂盒,其包括第三方面的用于靶核酸检测的引物探针组合物。

本发明的检测方法及引物探针组合物与现有技术相比,其优点在于:
(1)检测信号互不交叉:本发明提供的检测方法及引物探针组合物,对每个荧光通道的每次信号采集,最多只有1种靶核酸的检测信号,检测结果更直观、准确,避免2种以上靶核酸的荧光信号重叠、产生检测误差的情况;
(2)多重检测:本发明提供的检测方法及引物探针组合物,可在数字PCR单管反应中同时进行荧光通道与熔解温度两个维度的分析,即使用同一荧光通道,通过熔解温度特征,可以检测不同的靶标(靶核酸);或使用不同的荧光通道中,即可实现荧光通道数量与熔解温度特征之乘积的靶标种类检测;
(3)荧光背景低:每个荧光通道可仅使用1种探针,即可通过不同单链预产物与探针的不同熔解温度进行区分,大大降低了数字PCR反应中的荧光背景,提高了反应灵敏度;同时在试剂中减少了荧光探针的数量,大大降低了试剂成本,利于大规模推广应用;
(4)熔解温度可调整:本发明提供的方法是利用二次扩增产物(靶核酸与引物组扩增产生单链预产物,此为“一次扩增产物”;单链预产物与探针特异性结合后形成双链产物,此为“二次扩增产物”)的不同熔解温度进行区分,因此通过调整引物信号检测区(h)的长度或序列组成,或调整引物信号检测区(h)与探针(P)的全信号检测区(H)反向互补的位置,进而增高或降低与探针(P)形成的双链产物的熔解 温度,从而调整不同的信号采集温度;
(5)包容性好:本发明所述引物探针设计方法,与靶序列(靶核酸)有两部分(第一引物、第二引物)互补配对(其探针不与靶核酸互补配对),相比Taqman水解探针法需要三部分(第一引物、第二引物和Taqman探针)与靶序列配对,在靶序列存在较多高变异区时,如病毒或细菌基因组,本发明所述引物探针设计方法的包容性更好,设计难度更低;
(6)样本消耗少:本发明提供的引物探针组合物及检测方法,对样本的消耗少,特别适合用于稀有样本的检测,可以大大提高加入检测反应的样本浓度,提高检测灵敏度,同时单管反应为后续进行免提取一管法检测提供了可能性;
(7)灵敏度高:本发明所述方法对靶序列的长度要求非常低,当靶标类型是短片段核酸时,例如游离核酸时,更短的靶序列长度在检测中有更高的灵敏度;
(8)适用范围广:本发明所述方法可适用于多种样本类型的核酸检测,包括血清样本、血浆样本、全血样本、痰液样本、拭子样本、灌洗液样本、新鲜组织样本、福尔马林固定石蜡包埋组织(FFPE)等。
本发明的多重分时核酸检测装置及检测方法与现有技术相比,其优点在于:可以实现不同待测核酸在不同时间产生有效信号,即,对不同的待测核酸的信号进行隔离,避免信号重叠、产生检测误差的情况,实现多重核酸的分时、高精度检测。

图1为本发明中一种引物探针设计原理图(针对3种靶标);
当样本中不存在靶序列或扩增尚未开始时,探针(P)只有引物锚定区(A’)与正向引物(F1/2/3)的探针锚定区(A)反向互补,探针其余部分不与任何序列相互作用,此时探针(P)上修饰的第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离为d1;在PCR扩增时,在较高的第一退火温度(T1)下退火,正向引物(F1)与反向引物(R1)分别与靶序列1特异性结合并延伸产生双链预产物,其中一条单链预产物(S1)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A1),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’),延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’);正向引物(F2)与反向引物(R2)分别与靶序列2特异性结合并延伸产生双链预产物,其中一条单链预产物(S2)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A2),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’);任选的,如果存在正向引物(F3)和反向引物(R3),正向引物(F3)与反向引物(R3)分别与靶序列3特异性结合并延伸产生双链预产物,其中一条单链预产物(S3)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A3),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)。待PCR扩增结束后,在较低的第一信号采集温度(t1)进行第一次信号采集。此时探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预产物(S1)的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’)反向互补配对,探针(P)的引物锚定区(A1’)与单链预产物 (S1)5’端的探针锚定区(A1)反向互补配对,得到与探针(P)形成的双链产物(D1),而单链预产物(S1)3’端的延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’)不与探针(P)或靶序列的任意部分互补;此时探针(P)的全部或部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号,可被仪器检测到;而此时由于单链预产物(S2)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’)和单链预产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)的退火温度均小于第一退火温度(T1)以及第一信号采集温度(t1),因此不与探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)反向互补发生延伸;在第一信号采集温度(t1)下完成第一次信号采集后,进行单链预产物(S2)的二次扩增循环,循环条件为高温解链,并在较低的第二退火温度(T2)下退火(T2<T1,且T2<t1)),此时探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预产物(S2)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’)互补配对,探针的引物锚定区(A2’)与单链预产物(S2)5’端的探针锚定区(A2)反向互补配对,单链预产物(S2)的3’端可继续延伸到探针(P)的5’端,得到探针(P)的部分或全部反向互补序列,即完成以单链预产物(S2)为引物,以探针(P)为模板的二次扩增,得到与探针(P)形成的扩增双链产物(D2),此时探针(P)的全部或部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号;在第二退火温度(T2)循环扩增结束后,再将温度升高至较高的第二信号采集温度(t2)进行第二次信号采集(t2>t1,且t2>T1),此时单链预产物(S1)与探针(P)形成的杂交双链产物(D1)由于第二信号采集温度(t2)高于杂交双链产物(D1)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构;且由于单链预产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)的退火温度小于第二退火温度(T2),因此不与探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)反向互补发生延伸;而单链预产物(S2)与探针(P)形成的扩增双链产物(D2)形成了双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离变远,荧光共振能量转移效率较低,使得荧光信号发生变化,可被仪器检测到;在第二信号采集温度(t2)下完成第二次信号采集后,进行单链预产物(S3)的二次扩增循环,循环条件为高温解链,并在更低的第三退火温度(T3)下退火(T3<T2,且T3<t2),此时探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)互补配对,探针的引物锚定区(A3’)与单链预产物(S3)5’端的探针锚定区(A3)反向互补配对,单链预产物(S3)的3’端可继续延伸到探针(P)的5’端,得到探针(P)的部分或全部反向互补序列,即完成以单链预产物(S3)为引物,以探针(P)为模板的二次扩增,得到与探针(P)形成的扩增双链产物(D3),此时探针(P)的全部或部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号;在第三退火温度(T3)循环扩增结束后,再将温度升高至更高的第三信号采集温度(t3)进行第二次信号采集(t3>t2,且t3>T2),此时单链预产物(S1)与探针(P)形成的杂交双链产物(D1)由于第三信号采集温度(t3)高于杂交双链产物(D1)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构;单链预产物(S2)与探针(P)形成的扩增双链产物(D2)由于第三信号采集温度(t3)高于扩增双链产物(D2)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构;而单链预产物(S3)与探针(P)形成的扩增双链产物(D3)形成了双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离变远,荧光共振能量转移效率较低,使得荧光信号发生变化,可被仪器检测到。

利用上述引物探针进行检测的原理如下:
当对病原靶标进行特异性扩增时,在较高的第一温度(T1)下退火,正向引物(F1-7)与反向引物(R1-7)分别与靶序列1(耐碳青霉烯类抗生素的基因KPC突变)特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S1)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A1),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’),延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’);正向引物(F2-7)与反向引物(R2-7)分别与靶序列2(耐碳青霉烯类抗生素的基因IMP突变)特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S2)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A2),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’);正向引物(F3-7)与反向引物(R3-7)分别与靶序列3(耐碳青霉烯类抗生素的基因VIM突变)特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S3)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A3), 靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)。
待PCR扩增结束后,在较低的第一信号采集温度(t1)进行信号采集。此时探针(P1-7)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S1)的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’)反向互补配对,探针(P1-7)的引物锚定区(A1’)与单链预扩增产物(S1)5’端的探针锚定区(A1)反向互补配对,得到与探针(P1-7)形成的杂交双链产物(D1),而单链预扩增产物(S1)3’端的延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’)不与探针(P1-7)或靶序列的任意部分互补;此时探针(P1-7)的部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号,可被仪器检测到。而此时由于单链预扩增产物(S2)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’)和单链预扩增产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)的退火温度均小于第一退火温度(T1)以及第一信号采集温度(t1),因此不与探针(P)的探针信号检测区(H)反向互补发生延伸;在第一信号采集温度(t1)下完成第一次信号采集后,进行单链预扩增产物(S2和S3)的二次扩增循环,循环条件为高温解链,并在较低的第二退火温度(T2)下退火(T2<T1,且T2<t1),此时探针(P1-7)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S2)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’)互补配对,探针的引物锚定区(A2’)与单链预扩增产物(S2)5’端的探针锚定区(A2)反向互补配对,单链预扩增产物(S2)的3’端可继续延伸到探针(P)的5’端,得到探针(P1-7)的全部反向互补序列,即完成以单链预扩增产物(S2)为引物,以探针(P1-7)为模板的二次扩增,得到与探针(P1-7)形成的扩增双链产物(D2),此时探针(P1-7)的部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号;此时探针(P2-7)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)互补配对,探针的引物锚定区(A3’)与单链预扩增产物(S3)5’端的探针锚定区(A3)反向互补配对,单链预扩增产物(S3)的3’端可继续延伸到探针(P2-7)的5’端,得到探针(P2-7)的全部反向互补序列,即完成以单链预扩增产物(S3)为引物,以探针(P2-7)为模板的二次扩增,得到与探针(P2-7)形成的扩增双链产物(D3),此时探针(P2-7)的部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号。

上述引物探针中:
正向引物F1-8(SEQ ID NO:27),为针对非小细胞肺癌EGFR 20号外显子H773_V774insH突变靶序列设计的特异性引物,F1-8全长29bp,其3’端第1至第16个碱基为靶序列结合区,其5’端的第1至第10个碱基为探针锚定区(A1),与探针P1-8(SEQ ID NO:25)的5’端第1至10个碱基序列,即引物锚定区(A1’),反向互补;
反向引物R1-8(SEQ ID NO:26),为针对非小细胞肺癌EGFR 20号外显子H773_V774insH突变靶序列设计的特异性引物,R1-8全长51bp,其3’端第1至第21个碱基为靶序列结合区,其5’端的第1至第5个碱基为延伸阻滞区(M),其5’端的第6至第27个碱基为引物信号检测区(h3),与探针P1-8(SEQ ID NO:25)的3’端第26至47个碱基序列相同。
利用上述引物探针进行检测的原理如下:当对靶标进行特异性扩增时,在较高的第一温度(T1)下退火,正向引物(F1-8)与反向引物(R1-8)分别与靶序列1特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S1)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A1),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’),延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’);待PCR扩增结束后,在较低的第一信号采集温度(t1)进行信号采集。此时探针(P1-8)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S1)的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’)反向互补配对,探针(P1-8)的引物锚定区(A1’)与单链预扩增产物(S1)5’端的探针锚定区(A1)反向互补配对,得到与探针(P1-8)形成的杂交双链产物(D1),而单链预扩增产物(S1)3’端的延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’)不与探针(P1-8)或靶序列的任意部分互补;此时探针(P)的全部或部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号,可被仪器检测到。在第一信号采集温度(t1)采集信号完成后,再进入循环条件为高温解链,并在较低的第二退火温度(T2)下退火(T2<T1,且T2<t1))的程序,并在第二信号采集温度(t2)下采集信号(t2>t1,且t2>T1),此时单链预扩增产物(S1)与探针(P1-8)形成的杂交双链产物(D1)由于第二信号采集温度(t2)高于杂交双链产物(D1)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,使得荧光信号发生变化,可被仪器检测到。

利用上述引物探针进行检测的原理如下:当对靶标进行特异性扩增时,在较高的第一温度(T1)下退火,正向引物(F1-12)与反向引物(R1-12)分别与靶序列1(呼吸道合胞病毒)特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S1)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A1),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’),延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’);正向引物(F2-12)与反向引 物(R2-12)分别与靶序列2(甲型流感病毒)特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S2)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A2),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’);正向引物(F3-12)与反向引物(R3-12)分别与靶序列3特异性结合并延伸产生双链预扩增产物,其中一条单链预扩增产物(S3)的5’端到3’端依次是探针锚定区(A3),靶序列,引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)。待PCR扩增结束后,在较低的第一信号采集温度(t1)进行信号采集。此时探针(P1-12)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S1)的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h1’)反向互补配对,探针(P1-12)的引物锚定区(A1’)与单链预扩增产物(S1)5’端的探针锚定区(A1)反向互补配对,得到与探针(P1-12)形成的杂交双链产物(D1),而单链预扩增产物(S1)3’端的延伸阻滞区的反向互补序列(M’)不与探针(P1-12)或靶序列的任意部分互补;此时探针(P1-12)的部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号,可被仪器检测到。而此时由于单链预扩增产物(S2)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’)和单链预扩增产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)的退火温度均小于第一退火温度(T1)以及第一信号采集温度(t1),因此不与探针(P1-12)的探针信号检测区(H)反向互补发生延伸;在第一信号采集温度(t1)下完成第一次信号采集后,进行单链预扩增产物(S2)的二次扩增循环,循环条件为高温解链,并在较低的第二退火温度(T2)下退火(T2<T1,且T2<t1)),此时探针(P1-12)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S2)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h2’)互补配对,探针的引物锚定区(A2’)与单链预扩增产物(S2)5’端的探针锚定区(A2)反向互补配对,单链预扩增产物(S2)的3’端可继续延伸到探针(P1-12)的5’端,得到探针(P1-12)的全部反向互补序列,即完成以单链预扩增产物(S2)为引物,以探针(P1-12)为模板的二次扩增,得到与探针(P1-12)形成的扩增双链产物(D2),此时探针(P1-12)的全部序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号;而此时单链预扩增产物(S1)与探针(P1-12)形成的杂交双链产物(D1)由于第二信号采集温度(t2)高于杂交双链产物(D1)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构;且由于单链预扩增产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)的退火温度小于第二退火温度(T2),因此不与探针(P1-12)的探针信号检测区(H)反向互补发生延伸;在第二信号采集温度(t2)下完成第二次信号采集后,进行单链预扩增产物(S3)的二次扩增循环,循环条件为高温解链,并在更低的第三退火温度(T3)下退火(T3<T2,且T3<t2),此时探针(P1-12)的探针信号检测区(H)与单链预扩增产物(S3)3’端的引物信号检测区的反向互补序列(h3’)互补配对,探针的引物锚定区(A3’)与单链预扩增产物(S3)5’端的探针锚定区(A3)反向互补配对,单链预扩增产物(S3)的3’端可继续延伸到探针(P1-12)的5’端,得到探针(P1-12)的部分或全部反向互补序列,即完成以单链预扩增产物(S3)为引物,以探针(P1-12)为模板的二次扩增,得到与探针(P1-12)形成的扩增双链产物(D3),此时探针(P1-12)的全部或部分序列由单链变为双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离发生变化,产生信号;在第三退火温度(T3)循环扩增结束后,再将温度升高至更高的第三信号采集温度(t3)进行第二次信号采集(t3>t2,且t3>T2),此时单链预扩增产物(S1)与探针(P1-12)形成的杂交双链产物(D1)由于第三信号采集温度(t3)高于杂交双链产物(D1)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构;单链预扩增产物(S2)与探针(P1-12)形成的扩增双链产物(D2)由于第三信号采集温度(t3)高于扩增双链产物(D2)的熔解温度而无法形成双链结构;而单 链预扩增产物(S3)与探针(P1-12)形成的扩增双链产物(D3)形成了双链状态,第一检测基团与第二检测基团之间的距离变远,荧光共振能量转移效率较低,使得荧光信号发生变化,可被仪器检测到。

请参阅图14A和图14B本实施方式的多重分时核酸检测装置包括反应液容纳部1、温度调节部2、信号检测部3、控制部4。其中,反应液容纳部1用于容纳包含待测成分的试样和能够与待测成分反应的试 剂,为待测成分与试剂发生各种反应提供场所。其中,温度调节部2用于调节反应液容纳部1中的混合液的温度,以使待测成分与试剂在不同的温度下发生不同的反应。其中,信号检测部3用于检测混合液中经过特定反应后的特定物质产生的信号,该信号可以是光学信号,也可以是电信号。其中,控制器4用于控制温度调节部2以不同的温度模式调节反应液容纳部1中的混合液的温度,并控制信号检测部3检测混合液中的特定物质产生的信号。
Ⅰ、试样
试样为来自人体或者动物体的体液,试样中包括不同的待测成分,待测成分可以为核酸或者蛋白质。本实施方式以待测成分为核酸来对技术方案进行说明。对于直接采自人体或动物体的试样,可以执行核酸提取纯化操作,以将核酸提取出来,这一操作可以人工执行,也可以用专业化的核酸提取仪执行。对于直接采自人体或动物体的试样,也可以不执行核酸提取纯化操作。试样中包含不同的待测核酸分子,例如,第一待测成分(第一待测核酸)、第二待测成分(第二待测核酸)、第三待测成分(第三待测核酸)、第四待测成分(第四待测核酸)、第五待测成分(第五待测核酸)等。
Ⅱ、试剂
试剂中包括用于扩增核酸的扩增物质和用于与标记核酸的标记物质,扩增物质可以扩增不同的核酸分子,标记物质在一定温度下能够与核酸结合从而产生可检测的信号。不同核酸与标记物质结合的温度范围不同,结合后与标记物质分离的温度范围也不同。扩增不同待测核酸的扩增物质中的引物不同,标记不同待测核酸的标记物质可相同,也可以不同,本申请采用相同的标记物质标记不同的待测核酸。
Ⅲ、微液体
微液体可以为形成于乳液的微小液滴,也可以为容器上的微孔内容纳的微量液体。在每个微液体中包含至多一个单位的核酸分子和足以扩增多种靶核酸和标记多种靶核酸的试剂。例如,若待测样本中有两种待测核酸,即第一待测核酸、第二待测核酸,经过微分区处理后,每个第一待测核酸、每个第二待测核酸被分配至不同的微液体中,在一个微液体中,有足量的试剂,既可以满足扩增和标记微液体中第一待测核酸的需求,也可以满足扩增和标记微液体中第二待测核酸的需求。
制作微液体的过程可以是高频振动形成微液体的方式:通过微管道吸取试样和足量的试剂,将微管道伸入油性液体下方高频振动,在振动的过程中将微管道中的试样和试剂的微液体以一定速度排出,从而通过振动甩出微滴,即微液体,微液体与油性液体不相容、不反应。通过设置合理的振动频率、振动幅度、微液体排出速度,可以保证形成的每个微液体中至多只有1个单位的核酸分子。
也可以是在容器上设置数个微分区,通过将试样和试剂的微液体加入数个微分区中,使每个微分区中至多有1个单位的核酸分子。
Ⅳ、反应液容纳部

如图14B所示,反应液容纳部为与微流道连通的腔室,通过微流体驱动结构驱动待测核酸与试剂进入该腔室。
为了实现对待测核酸的绝对定量检测,包含待测核酸和试剂的微液体被包裹于20000个左右的微液体中,每个微液体中含有一个或不含待检核酸分子,无论待测核酸中有几种待测成分,其均被分配至不同的微液体中(这是理想状态,可能有少量微液体中包含一个以上待测核酸分子)。
本实施例中,以反应液容纳部为盒装容器进行说明,向反应液容纳部中注入油性液体,该油性液体不与试样和试剂相容,也不与试样和试剂反应,采用高频振动方式在油性液体内形成微液体,并使微液体在自身重力作用下平铺在反应液容纳部的底部。
如图14C所示,孔板100是由多个反应液容纳部1组成,反应液容纳部1底部为平板形状,可使得多个微液体平铺在反应液容纳部1的底部。
Ⅴ、温度调节部
如图14A和图14B所示,温度调节部2设置在反应液容纳部1的下方、上方或者侧方,可以向反应液容纳部1提供热量,也可以吸收反应液容纳部1的热量,从而实现对反应液容纳部1内的微液体升温和降温的功能。温度调节部2可以使反应液容纳部1内的微液体的温度在4℃0105℃的范围内变化。如图14A所示,当反应液容纳部1为开口向上的盒状容器时,可以在温度调节部上设置专门用于放置反应液容纳部的放置位,需要对反应液容纳部1进行温度调节时,将其放置在放置位上。如图14B所示,当反应液容纳部1为与微流道连通的腔室时,可以结合加热效率等因素,将温度调节部2设置在反应液容纳部1的合理方位。
在本实施例中,温度调节部2设置在由多个反应液容纳部1组成的孔板100的下方,接触对平整的孔板100的进行升温、降温操作,从而使得孔板100中的各个反应液容纳部1中的微液体随孔板100温度的升降而发生温度的改变。
Ⅵ、信号检测部
如图所示,信号检测部3设置在反应液容纳部1的附近,根据反应液容纳部1中的微液体所产生信号的不同,信号检测部可以为检测光信号(例如荧光信号)的器件(相机或者光电器件)或者能够检测电信号的器件。例如,信号检测部为相机时,可以对平铺在反应液容纳部中的信号进行拍照。信号检测部3可以相对于反应液容纳部1可移动,当需要检测信号时,控制器控制驱动机构将信号检测部3移动至靠近反应液容纳部1的位置(例如,如图14A所示的上方)。如图14B所示,信号检测部3也可以相对于反应液容纳部固定设置。
Ⅶ、控制部

实施例13
待测试样中包含第一待测成分(第一待测核酸)和第二待测成分(第二待测核酸),需要说明的是,由第一待测核酸产生的第一待测关联产物(待测核酸经过聚合酶链式反应(PCR)和/或核酸杂交和/或核酸酶切等操作后,产生与其对应的待测关联产物,通常情况下,待测关联产物为核酸),可在第一结合温度范围内与试剂中的标记物质结合;由第二待测核酸产生的第二待测关联产物,可在第二结合温度范围内与试剂中的标记物质结合,第一结合温度范围和第二结合温度范围的最高温度不同。本实施例中,第二结合温度范围的最高温度低于第一结合温度范围的最高温度。例如,第一待测关联产物在温度低于或等于温度A1时能够与标记物质结合,第二待测关联产物在温度低于或者等于温度A2时能够与标记物质结合,其中温度A2低于温度A1。第一待测关联产物可在第一分离温度范围内与试剂中的标记物质分离,第二待测关联产物可在第二分离温度范围内与试剂中的标记物质分离,第一分离温度范围和第二分离温度范围的最低温度不同。本实施例中,第二分离温度范围的最低温度高于第一分离温度范围的最低温度。例如,第一待测关联产物在温度高于或等于温度B1时能够与标记物质分离,第二待测关联产物在温度高于或等于温度B2时能够与标记物质分离,其中温度B2高于温度B1。
为了实现对试样中的不同待测核酸进行多重检测,并且防止不同待测核酸之间信号的相互干扰,本实施例中,将试样和试剂(包含扩增物质和标记物质)的混合液加入反应液容纳部形成数个微液体,控制器执行以下控制:
如图15A至图15D所示,横轴代表时间,纵轴代表温度值,控制器控制温度调节部调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,使试样中的待测核酸产生与之关联的待测关联产物(待测核酸包含第一待测核酸、第二待测核酸,但是存在于不同的微液体中);此过程中,微液体会经历多个温度循环,在每个温度循环中,微液体会变化为多个不同的温度,并在该温度下持续一定时间,循环个数可以为多个,例如20-60个,例如,40个左右。每个循环中,微液体会达到高温状态(温度t5),双链核酸变成单链核酸,然后微液体达到低温状态(温度T1),单链核酸经历退火及延伸过程(退火、延伸也可以分别在不同温度下进行,延伸温度高于退火温度)。经过多个温度循环后,试样中的不同待测核酸和/或不同待测关联产物的数量均增加(即每个微液体中的待测核酸和/或待测关联产物的量均增加,但是待测核酸的种类不变),更容易被检测到。通过合理设置扩增过程的退火温度T1,待测核酸和/或待测关联产物的数量增加,但不与试剂中的标记物质结合。退火温度T1(低温温度T1)可在第一范围内取值,但是不能与后续的T2的可取范围(第二范围)重合,并且第一范围内的值均大于第二范围内的值。
如图15A至15D所示,在进行40个温度循环之前,可以先将微液体加热至温度t0,使试样中的待测核酸预变性一段时间(2分钟左右)。预变性一段时间,是为了将核酸从双链状态变成单链状态。
40个循环完成后,控制器可以控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中微液体的温度调整至温度t1并维持 一定时间,如图15A至图15D所示,此区间段为区间一,控制器可以控制信号检测部执行一次检测动作,此次检测的信号作为空白信号。温度t1可以高于或者低于退火温度T1;循环完成后,温度调节部也可以使微液体的温度保持在温度T1状态,控制器控制信号检测部执行一次检测动作。由于此次检测获得的信号为空白信号,为提高效率,也可以将此次检测动作省略。
接着,控制器控制温度调节部以第一温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,经历第一温度调节模式的调节后,微液体中产生可与标记物质结合的第一待测关联产物,结合了第一待测关联产物的标记物质会产生信号,在此状态下,控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第一信号。由于单个待测核酸分子被分配到一个微液体中,即一个微液体中仅有一个待测核酸分子,这个待测核酸分子可能是第一待测核酸,也可以能是第二待测核酸,经过第一温度调节模式的调节,仅含有第一待测核酸的微液体能够产生信号,若多个微液体发生重叠,则此种微液体发出的信号为无效信号;没有发生重叠的单个微液体发出的信号为有效信号,此类微液体为第一部分微液体,即数个微液体中仅第一部分微液体产生有效信号。微液体中扩增第一待测核酸的扩增物质和标记第一待测关联产物的标记物质为第一试剂。
具体的,第一温度调节模式包括孵育阶段和信号采集阶段,在孵育阶段产生可与标记物质结合的特定种类的待测关联产物,在信号采集阶段实现特定种类中某些种类的待测关联产物与标记物质的不结合,剩下一种待测关联产物保持与标记物质保持结合,并完成信号检测部对反应液容纳部的信号检测。若经过第一温度调节模式的孵育阶段孵育后,仅有一种待测关联产物与标记物质结合,那么在信号采集阶段,就保持该种待测关联产物与标记物质的结合状态。
在孵育阶段,为了实现第一待测关联产物与标记物质结合,温度调节部周期性地改变反应液容纳部中微液体的温度以使反应液容纳部反复从高温温度降至低温温度T2,或温度调节部使反应液容纳部保持恒温温度T2,温度T2低于退火温度T1。反应液容纳部中微液体的温度为T2时,第一部分微液体中的第一待测关联产物与第一试剂结合产生信号。温度T2可在第二范围内取值,但是不能与后续的T3的可取范围(第三范围)重合,并且第二范围内的值均大于第三范围内的值,第二范围内的值均小于第一范围内的值。
为了提高待测核酸与标记物质的结合率,如图15A和图15C所示,在第一温度调节模式的孵育阶段,控制部控制温度调节部周期性地改变反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度,在每个温度循环中,由第一待测核酸产生的第一待测关联产物在T2下与标记物质结合,在高温温度t5与标记物质解链,反复经历过多个循环后,与标记物质结合的第一待测关联产物的数量达到理想最大值,该循环次数为15个左右,例如,10个循环。最后一个循环中,在第一待测关联产物与标记物质结合的状态下,控制器控制信号检测部检对微液体进行信号检测以获取第一信号。当然,如图15A和图15C所示,也可以在最后一个循环结束后(即在信号采集阶段),控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t2(温度t2未达到能使第一待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链的温度),使第一待测关联产物与标记物质保持结合状态,并维持一定时间,该时间段为区间二,在区间二控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第一信号。第一信号包含第一部分微液体产生的有效信号,若存在重叠的微液体,还包括重叠微液 体产生的无效信号,在后续分析过程中,此种无效信号将被排除。
也可以如图15B和图15D所示,在第一温度调节模式的孵育阶段,控制部控制温度调节部调节反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度保持在温度T2,持续一定时间以对微液体进行孵育,该时间可以为10-1800秒。孵育时间结束后,控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第一信号。当然,如图16B和图16D所示,恒温孵育结束后(信号采集阶段),控制部也可以控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t2,使第一待测核酸与标记物质保持结合状态,并维持一定时间,该时间段为区间二,在区间二控控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第一信号。
接着,控制器控制温度调节部以第二温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,经历第二温度调节模式的调节后,预扩增产物中仅有第二待测关联产物与试剂中的标记物质结合上,结合了第二待测关联产物的标记物质会产生信号,在此状态下,控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第二信号。同样,由于单个核酸分子被分配到一个微液体中,即一个微液体中仅有一个核酸分子,这个核酸分子可能是第一待测核酸,也可以能是第二待测核酸,经过第二温度调节模式的调节,仅第二待测核酸所在的微液体能够产生信号,若多个微液体发生重叠,则此种微液体发出的信号为无效信号;没有发生重叠的单个微液体发出的信号为有效信号,此类微液体为第二部分微液体,即数个微液体中仅第二部分微液体产生有效信号。微液体中扩增第二待测核酸的扩增物质和标记第二待测核酸的标记物质为第二试剂。
具体的,第二温度调节模式包括孵育阶段和信号采集阶段,在孵育阶段实现特定种类待测关联产物与标记物质的结合,在信号采集阶段实现特定种类中某些种类的待测关联产物与标记物质的分离,剩下一种待测关联产物保持与标记物质保持结合状态,并完成信号检测部对反应液容纳部的信号检测。
在孵育阶段,为了实现第二待测关联产物与标记物质结合,温度调节部周期性地改变反应液容纳部中微液体的温度以使反应液容纳部反复从高温温度降至低温温度T3,或温度调节部使反应液容纳部保持恒温温度T3,温度T3低于温度T2。反应液容纳部中微液体的温度为T3时,第二部分微液体中的第二待测关联产物与第二试剂结合产生信号,同时,含有第一待测关联产物的微液体中的第一待测关联产物也能与第一试剂结合产生信号。温度T3可在第三范围内取值,但是不能与后续的T4的可取范围(第四范围)重合,并且第三范围内的值均大于第四范围内的值,第三范围内的值均小于第二范围内的值。
为了提高待测关联产物与标记物质的结合率,如图15A和图15C所示,在第二温度调节模式的孵育阶段,控制部控制温度调节部周期性地改变反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度,在每个温度循环中,由第二待测核酸产生的第二待测关联产物在T3下与标记物质结合,在高温温度t5与标记物质解链,反复经历过多个循环后,与标记物质结合的第二待测关联产物数量达到理想最大值,该循环次数为15个左右,例如,10个循环。在最后一个循环结束后(即在信号采集阶段),控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t3(温度t3达到使第一待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链的温度,未达到能使第二待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链的温度),使第一待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链(第一部分微液体中的第一待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链,因结合产生的信号消失),使第二待测关联产物与 标记物质保持结合状态,并维持一定时间,该时间段为区间三,在区间三控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第二信号。第二信号包含第二部分微液体产生的有效信号,若存在重叠的微液体,还包括重叠微液体产生的无效信号,在后续分析过程中,此种无效信号将被排除。
由于第三范围内的值均小于第二范围内的值,在温度达到第三温度范围时,第一待测关联产物也会与标记物质结合。因此,在每个温度循环中第一待测关联产物和第二待测关联产物均会经历与标记物质结合和分离的过程。在最后一个循环后,当温度达到t3或者超过t3还未达到t4(见下文描述,温度t4达到能使第一待测关联产物和第二待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链的温度,但是未达到能使第三待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链的温度)之前,第一待测关联产物与标记物质解链,此时,只有第二待测关联产物与标记物质结合,在此状态下,控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第二信号。
也可以如图15B和图15D所示,在第二温度调节模式的孵育阶段,控制部控制温度调节部调节反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度保持在温度T3,持续一定时间以对微液体进行孵育,该时间可以为10-1800秒。孵育时间结束后,控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第二信号。在温度T3下,第一待测关联产物和第二待测关联产物均会与标记物质结合,在结束孵育后(即信号检测阶段),控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t3并维持一定时间,在温度t3下,第一待测关联产物与标记物质解链/分离;如图15B和图15D所示,该时间段为区间三,在区间三,第一待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链并保持分离/解链状态,第二待测关联产物依然与标记物质结合,在此状态下(区间三),控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第二信号。
通过控制器的上述控制,可以实现信号检测部检测微液体中产生的信号时,只有一种待检测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合,从而将两种待测核酸的微液体产生的信号完全隔离开,实现高精度的两重核酸检测。
实施例14
本实施例与实施例13的不同之处在于,在试样中的核酸在扩增过程中,同时实现与试剂中的标记物质的结合,可以提升检测效率,提高检测通量。
具体如下:
如图16A至图16D所示,控制器控制温度调节部以第一温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,使微液体中的核酸被试剂中的扩增物质扩增,实现数量增加的同时,并且其产物可与试剂中的标记物质结合。此过程中,微液体会经历多个温度循环,在每个温度循环中,微液体会变化为多个不同的温度,并在该温度下持续一定时间,循环次数为40个左右。扩增过程的退火温度为温度T2,由于退火温度达到了第一待测关联产物(例如,第一待测核酸的扩增产物)能够与标记物质结合的温度,因此,可以在此第一温度调节模式的调节下同时实现待测核酸的扩增和其扩增产物与标记物质的结合,完成扩增后,含有第一待测核酸的第一部分微液体会产生信号,此时控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获 得第一信号,具体方式可以为,在第一温度调节模式下历经40个循环后,控制器控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中微液体的温度调整至温度t2,使第一待测关联产物与标记物质保持结合状态,并维持一定时间,该时间段为区间二,在区间二控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第一信号。当然,也可以在循环完成后,将反应液容纳部中微液体的温度保持在T2,控制器控制控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第一信号。
接着,控制器控制温度调节部以第二温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,该控制与实施例13相同,不再赘述。
实施例15
本实施例与实施例13或实施例14的不同之处在于:
第一,试样中还包括第三待测成分(第三待测核酸),需要说明的是,第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物(第三待测核酸经过聚合酶链式反应(PCR)和/或核酸杂交和/或核酸酶切等操作后,产生与其对应的第三待测关联产物,通常情况下,第三待测关联产物为核酸)可在一定温度范围内与试剂中的标记物质结合,本实施例中,第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物与标记物质结合的最高温度,低于第二待测核酸或第二待测关联产物与标记物质结合的最高温度。例如,第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物在温度低于或者等于温度A3时能够与标记物质结合,温度A3低于温度A2(第二待测核酸或第二待测关联产物在温度低于或者等于温度A2时能够与标记物质结合)。第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物可在一定温度范围内与试剂中的标记物质分离,本实施例中,第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物与标记物质分离的最低温度高于第二待测核酸或第二待测关联产物与标记物质分离的最低温度。例如,第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物在温度高于或等于温度B3时能够与标记物质分离,温度B3高于温度B2(第二待测核酸或第二待测关联产物在温度高于或等于温度B2时能够与标记物质分离)。
第二,在控制器控制温度调节部以第二温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,并控制器控制信号检测部获得第二信号后,控制器还进行如下控制:
控制器控制温度调节部以第三温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部中微液体的温度,经历第三温度调节模式的调节后,产物中仅有第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物与试剂中的标记物质结合,并因为结合而导致标记物质产生信号,在此状态下,控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第三信号。同样,由于单个核酸分子被分配到一个微液体中,即一个微液体中仅有一个核酸分子,这个核酸分子可能是第一待测核酸或第二待测核酸或第三待测核酸,经过第三温度调节模式的调节,仅第三待测核酸所在的微液体能够产生信号,若多个微液体发生重叠,则此种微液体发出的信号为无效信号,没有发生重叠的单个微液体发出的信号为有效信号,此类微液体为第三部分微液体,即数个微液体中仅第三部分微液体产生有效信号。微液体中扩增第三待测核酸的扩增物质和标记第三待测核酸的标记物质为第三试剂。
具体的,第三温度调节模式包括孵育阶段和信号采集阶段,在孵育阶段实现特定种类待测核酸或其对 应的待测关联产物与标记物质的结合,在信号采集阶段实现特定种类中某些种类的待测核酸或其对应的待测关联产物与标记物质的分离,剩下一种待测核酸或其对应的待测关联产物保持与标记物质保持结合,并完成信号检测部对反应液容纳部的信号检测。
在孵育阶段,为了实现第三待测核酸或其对应的第三待测关联产物与标记物质结合,温度调节部周期性地改变反应液容纳部中微液体的温度以使反应液容纳部反复从高温温度降至低温温度T4,或温度调节部使反应液容纳部保持恒温温度T4,温度T4低于温度T3。反应液容纳部中微液体的温度为T4时,含有第三待测核酸的微液体中的第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物与第三试剂结合产生信号。温度T4可在第四范围内取值,但是不能与后续的T5(如果有第四温度调节模式)的可取范围(第五范围)重合,并且第四范围内的值均大于第五范围内的值,第四范围内的值均小于第三范围内的值。
为了提高待测核酸与标记物质的结合率,如图15C和图16C所示,在第三温度调节模式的孵育阶段,控制部控制温度调节部周期性地改变反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度,在每个温度循环中,第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物在低温温度T4下与标记物质结合,在高温温度t5与标记物质解链/分离,反复经历过多个循环后,与标记物质结合的第三待测核酸或第三待测关联产物的数量达到理想最大值,该循环次数为15个左右(例如,9个循环,10个循环等)。在最后一个循环结束后(即在信号采集阶段),控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t4(温度t4达到使第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)和第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)与标记物质分离/解链的温度,未达到能使第三待测核酸/第三待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链的温度),使第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)与标记物质分离/解链(含有第一待测核酸的微液体中,第一待测核酸/第一待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链,因结合产生的信号消失),使第二待测核酸/第二待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链(含有第二待测核酸的微液体中,第二待测核酸/第二待测关联产物与标记物质分离/解链,因结合产生的信号消失),使第三待测核酸/第三待测关联产物与标记物质保持结合状态,并维持一定时间,该时间段为区间四,在区间四控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第三信号。第三信号包含第三部分微液体产生的有效信号,若存在重叠的微液体,还包括重叠微液体产生的无效信号,在后续分析过程中,此种无效信号将被排除。
由于第四范围内的值均小于第三范围内的值,在温度达到第四范围时,第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)和第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)也会与标记物质结合。因此,在每个温度循环中第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)、第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)和第三待测核酸(或第三待测关联产物)均会经历与标记物质结合和分离的过程。在最后一个循环后,当温度达到t4或者超过t4还未达到t5(温度t4达到能使第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)和第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)与标记物质分离/解链的温度,但是未达到能使第三待测核酸(或第三待测关联产物)与标记物质分离/解链的温度)之前,第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)和第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)均与标记物质解链/分离,此时,只有第三待测核酸(或第三待测关联产物)与标记物质保持结合,在此状态下, 控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第三信号。
也可以如图15D所示,在第二温度调节模式的孵育阶段,控制部控制温度调节部调节反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度保持在温度T4,持续一定时间以对微液体进行孵育,该时间可以为10-1000秒。孵育时间结束后,控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第三信号。在温度T4下,第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)、第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)和第三待测核酸(或第三待测关联产物)均会与标记物质结合,在结束孵育后(即信号检测阶段),控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t4并维持一定时间,如图15D和图16D所示,该时间段为区间四,在区间四,第一待测核酸(或第一待测关联产物)和第二待测核酸(或第二待测关联产物)均与标记物质分离/解链并保持分离/解链状态,第三待测核酸(或第三待测关联产物)依然与标记物质结合,在此状态下(区间四),控制器控制信号检测部对反应液容纳部进行信号检测以获得第三信号。
通过控制器的上述控制,可以实现信号检测部检测微液体中产生的信号时,只有一种待检测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合,从而将三种待测核酸的微液体产生的信号完全隔离开,实现高精度的三重核酸检测。
实施例16
本实施例与实施例13的不同之处在于:由于试样中所含的成分不同,导致图15A-图15D的区间一获得的信号不是空白信号,而是含有某个待测成分的微液体产生的信号。本实施例中,该待测成分为第四待测成分(第四待测核酸)。
在实施例13的基础上,试样中还包括第四待测成分(第四待测核酸),第四待测核酸能够被试剂中的扩增物质扩增,产生的扩增产物(第四待测关联产物)能与试剂中的标记物质结合,结合了第四待测核酸扩增产物的标记物质可以产生可检测的信号。需要说明的是,第四待测核酸被扩增和与标记物质结合可在一定温度范围内实现。在该温度范围内,其他待测核酸,例如,第一待测核酸和第二待测核酸能够被试剂中的扩增物质扩增,但是其产物不能与试剂中的标记物质结合。例如,第四待测关联产物在温度低于或等于温度A4时能够与标记物质结合,A4高于温度A1(第一待测核酸或其关联产物在温度低于或等于温度A1时能够与标记物质结合)。第四待测核酸或其关联产物在一定温度范围内能够与标记物质分离/解链,本实施例中,第四待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质分离的最低温度低于第一待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质分离的最低温度。例如,第四待测核酸或其关联产物在温度高于或等于温度B4时能够与标记物质分离,温度B4低于温度B1。
在退火温度T1下,试样中的其他待测核酸,例如,第一待测核酸和第二待测核酸在此过程中只被扩增,而不与试剂中的标记物质结合;第四待测核酸能够被扩增并且能够与标记物质结合。在温度t1下,第四待测核酸或其关联产物保持与标记物质结合的状态,信号检测部检测的信号不再是空白信号,而是包含第四待测核酸的微液体产生的信号。温度t1可以高于或者低于或者等于退火温度T1。
此后的控制过程与实施例13不相同的部分在于:
控制器控制温度调节部以第一温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部温度的过程中,控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度T2的情况下,第四待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合、第一待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合;控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t2的情况下,第四待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质分离/解链,第一待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质保持结合。
控制器控制温度调节部以第二温度调节模式调节反应液容纳部温度的过程中,控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度T3的情况下,第四待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合、第一待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合、第二待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质结合;控制部控制温度调节部将反应液容纳部中的微液体的温度调整至温度t3的情况下,第四待测核酸或其关联产物和第一待测核酸或其关联产物均与标记物质分离/解链,第二待测核酸或其关联产物与标记物质保持结合状态。
其余的控制过程与实施例13相同的部分,不在此赘述。
上述实施例13至实施例16中的温度t1、t2、t3、t4、t5可以作如下理解:
在温度t1下,如果试样中包含第四待测核酸,则第四待测核酸或其关联产物能够与试剂中的标记物质保持结合状态;如果试样中不包含第四待测核酸,则没有待测核酸或其关联产物与试剂中的标记物质结合;
在温度t2下,仅第一待测核酸或其关联产物能够与试剂中的标记物质保持结合状态;
在温度t3下,仅第二待测核酸或其关联产物能够与试剂中的标记物质保持结合状态;
在温度t4下,仅第三待测核酸或其关联产物能够与试剂中的标记物质保持结合状态;
在温度t5下,所有待测核酸或其关联产物均解链。
上述实施例13至实施例16中的第四试剂、第一试剂、第二试剂、第三试剂可以作如下理解:
第四试剂包括可以扩增第四待测核酸的扩增物质和能够标记第四待测核酸的标记物质;
第一试剂包括可以扩增第一待测核酸的扩增物质和能够标记第一待测核酸的标记物质;
第二试剂包括可以扩增第二待测核酸的扩增物质和能够标记第二待测核酸的标记物质;
第三试剂包括可以扩增第三待测核酸的扩增物质和能够标记第三待测核酸的标记物质。
其中,扩增第四待测核酸、第一待测核酸、第二待测核酸、第三待测核酸的扩增物质中的引物不同,其余成分可以相同,也可以不同;标记第四待测核酸、第一待测核酸、第二待测核酸第三待测核酸的标记物质可以相同,也可以不同。
在初始状态下,即还未孵育微液体之前,一个微液体中,至多包含一个待测核酸(第四待测核酸或第一待测核酸或第二待测核酸或第三待测核酸)和能够扩增和标记所有待测核酸的足量的试剂。
