The pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected millions of people worldwide. Public health strategies to reduce viral transmission are based on widespread diagnostic testing to detect and isolate contagious patients. Several reverse transcription (RT)-PCR tests, along with other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic assays, are available to attempt to cover the global demand. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) based methods have been established as rapid, accurate, point of care diagnostic tests for viral infections; hence, they represent an excellent alternative for SARS-CoV-2 detection. The aim of this study was to develop and describe molecular detection systems for SARS-CoV-2 based on RT-LAMP. Recombinant DNA polymerase from Bacillus stearothermophilus and thermostable engineered reverse transcriptase from Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus were expressed using a prokaryotic system and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography. These enzymes were used to set up fluorometric real time and colorimetric end-point RT-LAMP assays. Several reaction conditions were optimized such as reaction temperature, Tris-HCl concentration, and pH of the diagnostic tests. The key enzymes for RT-LAMP were purified and their enzymatic activity was determined. Standardized reaction conditions for both RT-LAMP assays were 65°C and a Tris-HCl-free buffer at pH 8.8. Colorimetric end-point RT-LAMP assay was successfully used for viral detection from clinical saliva samples with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity compared to the results obtained by RT-qPCR based diagnostic protocols with Ct values until 30. The developed RT-LAMP diagnostic tests based on purified recombinant enzymes allowed a sensitive and specific detection of the nucleocapsid gene of SARS-CoV-2. |
