中文摘要 開發針對登革熱病毒(DENV)的快速靈敏檢測法為防治DENV傳染的首要工作之一。本研究提出了一種基於電化學組抗頻譜分析(EIS)的基因感測器,用於無標定和無核酸放大程序直接對萃取後DENV RNA進行檢測。利用0.04 mM 6-巰基己酸(MHA)與1 mM 6-巰基-1-己醇(MCH)濃度混合液修飾薄膜金電極,可控制探針DNA(pDNA)的表面覆蓋率密度至4.5 ± 0.4*10-11  pDNA/cm2。相較於其他MHA/MCH的比率修飾膜,此pDNA/MHA/MCH-修飾之基因感測器已被證實能增進160-mer 目標DNA(160mtDNA)與pDNA的雜合。該基因感測器也能對萃取後的DENV血清型1(DENV1) RNA樣本進行雜合與檢測,其檢測極限為20 PFU/mL,而線性範圍落在102–105 PFU/mL,且具有良好的DENV1選別性。採用MHA/MCH混合修飾藉以控制pDNA密度的方法,對建構一個高靈敏性DENV核酸感測器有著令人期待的前景。
英文摘要 Developing rapid and sensitive diagnostic methods for dengue virus (DENV) infection is of prime priority because DENV infection is the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral disease. This work proposes an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based genosensor for the label-free and nucleic acid amplification-free detection of extracted DENV RNA intended for a sensitive diagnosis of DENV infection. A concentration ratio of 0.04 mM 6-mercaptohexanoic acid (MHA) to 1 mM 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) was selected to modify thin-film gold electrodes as a link to control the coverage of self-designed probe DNA (pDNA) at a density of 4.5 ± 0.4*10-11  pDNA/cm2. The pDNA/MHA/MCH-modified genosensors are proven to improve the hybridization efficiency of a synthetic 160-mer target DNA (160mtDNA) with a 140-mer electrode side overhang as compared to other MHA/MCH ratio-modified genosensors. The MHA(0.04 mM)/MCH(1 mM)-modified genosensors also present good hybridization efficiency with the extracted DENV serotype 1 (DENV1) RNA samples, having the same electrode side overhangs with the 160mtDNA, showing a low detection limit of 20 plaque forming units (PFU)/mL, a linear range of 102–105 PFU/mL and good selectivity for DENV1. The pDNA density-controlled method has great promise to construct sensitive genosensors based on the hybridization of extracted DENV nucleic acids.
