Original Abstract

A method that is easy to use, rapid, with a low cost of detecting viral nucleic acid in a biological sample represents the essential tool in targeted therapy. In this study, we report the use of paramagnetic microparticles covered by streptavidin and modified by an oligonucleotide probe with a specific viral sequence labeled by biotin to detect human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and influenza virus subtype H5N1. The viral nucleic acids were primarily detected by adsorptive transfer stripping technique coupled with square wave voltammetry using carbon paste, hanging mercury drop or carbon nanotubes-based screen-printed working electrodes. Detection limits were estimated for both sequences down to picograms per 3 mu l. To isolate the viral sequences, paramagnetic microparticles covered with biotin-labeled oligonucleotides were used. We calculated the yield of isolation for H5N1 and/or HIV sequences, which was defined as "isolated concentration of viral nucleic acid sequence"/"given viral nucleic acid sequence" x 100. We estimated the yield for both sequences as 59%. Moreover, we studied the influence of human serum, dsDNA and non-complementary sequence of nucleic acids on isolation of viral nucleic acids. We also used carbon nanotubes-based screen-printed electrodes coupled with micro-flow instrument to detect viral nucleic acids. We were able to isolate and detect nanogram amounts of nucleic acids.
