Abstract  Objective:

To develop armored RNA reference material containing target RNA of norovirus based on Qbeta bacteriophage for norovirus nucleic acid detection.

Methods:

Synthesize DNA fragment named QINVGII containing maturase coding gene, capsid protein coding gene and packing site of Qbeta bacteriophage, cDNA corresponding detection target sequence of gene group II norovirus in ISO/T15216-2 2012. QINVGII fragment was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a (+). The recombinant plasmid was identified by enzyme digestion and sequencing, and then expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells through isopropyl-β-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) induction. The expression product, VLPs was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the electron microscope. The VLPs was centrifuged and purified by CsCl density gradient after digestion with DNase I and RNase A. The homogeneity and stability of the reference material were tested according to the GB/T15000.3—2008 [directives for the work of reference materials (3) - reference material -general and statistical principles for certification].

Results:

SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular mass of the expressed protein product was about 14.1kDa, which was consistent with the prediction. The 25nm VLPs could be observed under electron microscope. The VLPs samples were valued as (1.06±0.06)×107 copies/μl and behaved well in the homogeneity test, F=2.24<F0.05(9,20). The stability test indicated that the sample was stable at 37℃ for 12 days, at room temperature (20~25℃) for 24 days, at 4℃ for at least 120 days, -20℃ for at least 150 days, at -80℃ for at least 300 days with no significant decrease.

Conclusion:

The armored RNA based on Qbeta bacteriophage prepared, which had good uniformity, stability and high copy number, could be a good reference material candidate for the norovirus RNA detection.
