Abstract
A method for detecting colorectal cancer DNA using a lateral flow assay includes: extracting a blood sample (S100); loading the blood sample on a lateral flow assay (LFA) kit (S110); amplifying a specific target circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) fragment using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing based on a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) device on the kit (S130); allowing the amplified SNP sequence to move along a nitrocellulose membrane and binding to a gold nanoparticle probe to form a DNA-AuNP complex (S140); and color-developing a first probe to be visually detected in the complex forming process (S150), so as to detect whether colorectal cancer mutant DNA exists in the blood sample based on the color development.
Claims8
A kit for detecting colorectal cancer DNA using a lateral flow assay, comprising:
- a loading pad on which a blood sample is loaded;
- a multilayer filter located at the bottom of the loading pad to remove impurities such as red blood cells from the blood sample and pass only serum;
- a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) device located at the bottom of the multilayer filter to amplify a specific target circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) fragment in colorectal cancer mutant DNA using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing;
- a nitrocellulose membrane located at the bottom of the LAMP device and through which the amplified SNP sequence moves;
- a first probe of gold nanoparticles that binds to the SNP sequence moving along the nitrocellulose membrane to form a DNA-AuNP complex;
- and
- a second probe that indicates whether to be color-developed to operate normally by allowing the extra blood sample to move to a control line, so as to detect whether colorectal cancer DNA exists in the blood sample based on the color-development of the first and second probes.
