Article Abstract
Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the Mpox virus (MPXV). The rapid and accurate diagnosis of MPXV is essential for the timely and effective prevention, control, and treatment of the disease. In this study, we combined Multienzyme Isothermal Rapid Amplification (MIRA) (at 42 °C) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 12b(CRISPR/Cas12b) (at 60 °C) to develop a single-tube two-step assay for rapid MPXV detection, leveraging the distinct physical states of tricosane at these temperatures. MIRA amplification primers and CRISPR/cas12b SgRNA were designed based on the MPXV F3L gene. After screening the primers and sgRNAs, the reaction conditions were optimized, and the performances of the assay were evaluated. The detection limit (LOD) of this single-tube two-step MIRA-CRISPR/Cas12b assay for MPXV is four copies of DNA molecules. No cross-reactivity with other pathogens (herpes simplex virus (HSV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), and measles virus (MeV)) was found. The assay also showed good consistency with quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) (Kappa = 0.9547, < 0.05, = 100) in the detection of clinical samples, with a sensitivity of 98.5% and a specificity of 97.0%. The single-tube two-step MIRA-CRISPR/Cas12b assay permits the rapid (within 45 min), sensitive, and specific detection of MPXV. The lack of need for opening the reaction tube eliminates the risk of product contamination.

The integration of recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with CRISPR/Cas12a holds great promise for point-of-care assay of bacterial infections, but still confronts challenges such as the input of unstable RNA, dependence on PAM, and multi-step operations. To address these challenges, we here present a tagged primer-based one-pot CRISPR/Cas12a assay, called TOP-CRISPR. Strategically, TOP-CRISPR utilized target gene-induced amplicons to generate crRNA sequences with the help of T7 RNA polymerase, thus eliminating the need for additional crRNA.

Changes in microRNA (miRNA) levels are closely associated with the pathological processes of many diseases. The sensitive and fast detection of miRNAs is critical for diagnosis and prognosis. Here, we report a platform employing CRISPR/Cas12a to recognize and report changes in miRNA levels while avoiding complex multi-thermal cycling procedures.

Unlabelled: Invasive candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by various pathogenic yeasts, with as the predominant pathogen. Traditional culturing and identification methods for are slow, requiring several days to weeks to produce results, which hampers rapid diagnosis. In this study, we proposed three amplification methods to combine with CRISPR/Cas12a and selected the enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) and CRISPR/Cas12a two-step method for the detection of in terms of sensitivity, and then the two-step method was optimized to a temperature-controlled one-step method for the detection of by enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA)-CRISPR/Cas12a.
