Determination of cut-off value


Sansure Biotech Inc.

1. Purpose
The Six Respiratory Pathogens Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kit
(PCR-Fluorescence Probing) produced by our company (hereinafter referred
as this kit) use multiple fluorescent quantitative PCR methods to detect
whether the throat swab samples of patients with similar symptoms of
respiratory tract infection caused by unknown reason, such as fever, swelling
and pain, cough, headache and dyspnea, contain the specific targets of nucleic
acid of influenza A virus (Flu A), influenza B virus (Flu B), Respiratory
Syncytial Virus (RSV), Adenoviruses (Adv), Human rhinovirus (HRV) and
Mycoplasma Pneumonia (MP), so as to determine whether the suspected
patients are infected with the above 6 respiratory pathogens. In order to
ensure the validity of detection results of targets (targeted nucleic acid
sequences), an internal standard (a positive internal control) is added to PCR
system to monitor the validity of PCR reaction and to avoid false negative.
The following is the basis for determining the cut-off value of the target gene
and internal standard detection through experimental research and statistical
analysis, which is used as the basis for judging the results of clinical samples.

2. Samples used for determining cut-off value


1) 639 clinical throat swab samples
The samples were collected from the disease prevention and control
center in Loudi and Hunan provincial people’s hospital. Among them, 92
clinically samples were positive for influenza A virus, 92 samples were
positive for influenza B virus, 91 samples were positive for respiratory
syncytial virus, 92 samples were positive for Adenovirus, 92 samples were
positive for Human rhinovirus, 92 samples were positive for Mycoplasma
pneumoniae, and 88 samples were clinically negative. The positive and
negative results were confirmed by fluorescent PCR detection kits (Joint
detection kit for nucleic acid of influenza A and B virus by Shanghai ZJ
Bio-Tech Co., Ltd., certificate No. 20173404656; Respiratory syncytial virus
nucleic acid detection kit by Daan Gene Co., Ltd., certificate No. 20173400171;

kit by Snasure biotech inc., certificate No. 20173400078; Human Rhinovirus
nucleic acid detection kit by Land Medical Technology Co., Ltd., certificate No.
20153400295 ).
2) Diluted clinically positive samples for the 6 pathogens
The positive samples for influenza A virus and influenza B virus with
detection limit concentration were prepared from a clinical throat swab
sample that was determined by the Reed-Muench method and diluted with
Hanks solution. 1 positive sample for influenza A virus was determined by
Reed-Muench method and diluted with Hanks solution to the detection limit
concentration, and diluted into 48 parts; 1 positive sample for influenza B
virus was determined by Reed-Muench method and diluted with Hanks
solution To the detection limit concentration, dilute into 48 parts.
The positive samples for respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus,
human rhinovirus, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae with detection limit
concentration were diluted from the clinically positive throat swab samples
with determined value. The positive sample for respiratory syncytial virus
with a concentration of 3.03E+07 copies/mL were diluted with normal saline
to the detection limit concentration and to 48 parts; The positive sample for
Adenovirus with a concentration of 3.77E+07 copies/mL were diluted with

normal saline to the detection limit concentration and to 48 parts; The positive
sample for Human rhinovirus with a concentration of 2.95E+07 copies/mL
were diluted with normal saline to the detection limit concentration and to 48
parts; The positive sample for Mycoplasma pneumoniae with a concentration
of 6.24E+07 copies/mL were diluted with normal saline to the detection limit
concentration and to 48 parts.
3) 2076 clinical throat swab samples (Clinical trail)
The clinical samples are all from clinical research. There were a total of
2076 throat swab samples collected for detection. Among them, 422 samples
were collected from Wuhan infectious disease hospital, 420 samples were
collected from Jiangxi provincial children’s hospital, 410 samples were
collected from the affiliated hospital of Hangzhou normal university, 414
samples were collected from Guangzhou women and children medical center,
and 410 samples were collected from Hunan provincial people’s hospital.

3. Methods of determining cut-off value


1) According to the six respiratory pathogens detected by this kit, one
clinically positive throat swab sample were selected for each pathogen, and
then were diluted by 2-10 times to determine the detection sensitivity of
clinical samples.
2) According to the detection sensitivity, 48 positive samples with
detection limit concentration were prepared, and then the Ct reference value
was statistically analyzed.
3) Before the clinical trail, 639 clinical samples were tested. According to
ROC curve analysis and the reference value of the positive samples with
detection limit concentration, the reference value of the target gene and
internal standard of this kit was drawn up.
4) The validity of the proposed reference value was verified through the
clinical trial of the clinical trial unit to determine the final reference value of
this kit.

4.3.3 ROX curve analysis


The results of the control reagents and culture method were used as the
standard to determine the negative or positive of the sample, and SPSS 19.0
software was used to perform ROC analysis on the Ct values of the above 88
negative samples and the positive samples for each pathogen, to determine
the reference Ct value of the target gene detection. For those undetected Ct
value, the value was set as 45 (The reaction cycles of PCR amplification
program is 45). The output after ROC analysis is as follows:

diagnostic cut-off values (reference values) of influenza A virus


It can be seen from the output results of the above ROC analysis: 1) The
area under the ROC curve is 1.000, indicating a well diagnostic accuracy of the
reagent; 2) The best diagnostic cut-off value is 39.29 (It is basically the same
with the results “the upper limit of the 99% reference value range is 37.83” in
the above described Section 4.2), at this time, the sensitivity (Sensitivity) is
1.000, which is 100%; the specificity is (1-0.000), which is 100%. Based on the
sensitivity testing requirements and ROC analysis results, the Ct reference
value for target gene detection of influenza A virus is tentatively proposed as
40; those with Ct ≤ 40 are considered positive; those with Ct > 40 are
considered negative. This criteria was used to determine the above mentioned
180 clinical samples. Results showed that 92 were positive samples and 88
were negative samples, which were consistent with the results of the control
reagents and sequencing method.

Result 3-3 The pairing values(sensitivity, 1-specificity) corresponding to different
diagnostic cut-off values (reference values) of respiratory syncytial virus
It can be seen from the output results of the above ROC analysis: 1) The
area under the ROC curve is 1.000, indicating a well diagnostic accuracy of the
reagent; 2) The best diagnostic cut-off value is 40.16 (It has high similarity
with the results “the upper limit of the 99% reference value range is 38.61” in
the above described Section 4.2), at this time, the sensitivity (Sensitivity) is
1.000, which is 100%; the specificity is (1-0.000), which is 100%. Based on the
sensitivity testing requirements and ROC analysis results, the Ct reference
value for target gene detection of respiratory syncytial virus is tentatively
proposed as 40; those with Ct ≤ 40 are considered positive; those with Ct > 40
are considered negative. This criteria was used to determine the above
mentioned 180 clinical samples. Results showed that 91 were positive samples
and 88 were negative samples, which were consistent with the results of the
control reagents and sequencing method.

The results showed that the internal standard Ct values of 88 samples


were approximately subject to normal distribution, and the upper limit of 99%
reference value range (X+2.33 S) was 40.12. Considering the complexity of
clinical trails, the internal standard reference value (the maximum detection
Ct value) is set to 40 to effectively monitor the internal standard.

5. Verification and confirmation of cut-off value


The above-mentioned proposed reference value was used to determine
the 2076 samples of clinical assessment. The positive percentage agreement
between the reagent to be evaluated and the control reagent was 99.07% (95%
CI: 98.25%~99.57%), negative percentage agreement was 97.38% (95% CI:
96.26%~98.24%) and the total percentage agreement was 98.17% (95% CI:
97.50%~98.70%); There were 2076 samples in total, including 933 positive
samples, 1077 negative samples and 66 samples with non-confirming
detection results, and the overall agreement percentage was 96.82%. The
results show that the detection results of the reagent to be evaluated were well
consistent with the sequencing control method. Through the verification of
clinical trials, it is confirmed that the above proposed reference value meets
the performance requirements of this kit in clinical application.

6. Summary of determining cut-off value


According to the above-mentioned experimental research and clinical
verification, it is confirmed that the detection reference values of this kit are as
follows:

6.1 Ct reference value of internal standard detection is 40:


In the detection results of negative samples, if Ct value of the internal
standard ≤ 40, then the result is valid; Otherwise, it’s invalid, and the cause
should be found and eliminated (such as whether there are inhibitors in the
sample or other causes from test operation, equipment or sampling method),
and repeated test should be done on the same sample.

6.2 Ct reference value of target gene detection (cut-off value) is 40:

Determination of cut-off value 47


Sansure Biotech Inc.

If Ct value of detection result of the target gene in the sample to be


evaluated > 40 (Or Ct value is undetected), and Ct value of internal standard ≤
40, then the content of nucleic acid of pathogen to be evaluated in the sample
is considered to be lower than the lower detection limit of the kit. If Ct value
of internal standard > 40, then the result is invalid, and the cause should be
found and eliminated and repeated test should be conducted on the same
sample.
If Ct value of detection results of the sample to be evaluated ≤ 40, then the
sample is considered to be positive with the pathogen to be evaluated.

Six Respiratory Pathogens Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kit
(PCR-Fluorescence Probing)
Accuracy Study

In accordance with the technical requirements of the Six Respiratory


Pathogens Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kit (PCR-Fluorescence Probing), three
batches (2017001, 2017002, 2017003) of qualified reagents were continuously
produced. The overall performance evaluation of this kit was carried out on
the three fluorescent quantitative PCR machines, including ABI 7500
fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument, Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5
and SLAN-96P automatic medical PCR analysis system. The evaluation
results of the total analytical performance of these three batches of kits are
described below.

Analytical performance evaluation on ABI 7500 PCR instrument


1. Interferences analysis
1.1 Anti-PCR inhibitor/interfering substance effect
The main purposes of extracting pathogen DNA/RNA are as follows:
enriching the concentration of target nucleic acid sequences, ensuring the
integrity of the target nucleic acid sequence, increasing the uniformity of the
PCR template solution, and removing PCR inhibitors. It is one of the factors
that determine the success of RT-PCR. For example, under the conditions of
low pH and high salt concentration, the modified superparamagnetic
nanoparticles can specifically adsorb viral nucleic acids, and then pure nucleic
acids can be enriched after the following washing steps. Theoretically, the
magnetic bead method can remove PCR inhibitors/interfering substances well
when extracting nucleic acid. But in actual operation, there are many
unforeseen unknown factors, so we need to verify this via experiments. In
addition, the composition of the PCR reaction system also determines the
influence of inhibitors/interfering substances on the PCR reaction.
Appropriate PCR buffer, pH, and the concentration of appropriate dNTPs,
enzymes and other raw materials can reduce the influence of
inhibitors/interfering substances on the PCR reaction. Therefore, it is
necessary for us to experiment to verify this point.
The lentiviral particles containing the target conserved sequence of
influenza A virus, influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and human
rhinovirus, and the cloning plasmid containing the target conserved sequence
of adenovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae were used as the research objects.
The lentiviral particles and cloned plasmids of each pathogen were diluted
with normal saline to a concentration of 7.0×103 TU/mL (and copies/mL), and
mixed with equal volumes to form the test sample. The test sample was
divided into several parts, and the possible PCR inhibitors/interfering
substances listed in Table 1-1 were added to each part, and the detection was
carried out according to the operating method in the manual of this kit. The
test sample without interfering substances was used as the control. The test
results of three batches of the kit on the ABI 7500 instrument are shown in
Table 1-2 to Table 1-4 and Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-6 (only the batch of 2017001 is
taken as an example for screenshot display).

instrument were not significantly different from the control samples that do
not contain interfering substances. It shows that potential PCR
inhibitors/interfering substances have no interference effect on the PCR
reaction, and have no effect on the detection of respiratory pathogens in this
kit.
1.2 PCR inhibitor removal ability test
The positive throat swab samples with low concentration of influenza A
virus, influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, Mycoplasma
pneumoniae, and human rhinovirus were used as the test samples. The test
sample was divided into several parts, and each part was added with the
possible PCR inhibitors/interfering substances listed in Table 1-1, and the
detection was carried out according to the operating method in the manual of

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above experimental results that, by


using the clinically positive throat swab sample as the test sample, the test
results of samples with different concentrations of various PCR
inhibitors/interfering substances have no significant differences after nucleic
acid extraction via the magnetic bead method. It shows that the magnetic
bead method is beneficial for removing PCR inhibitors/interfering substances.

the six respiratory pathogens nucleic acid diagnostic kit (PCR-fluorescence
probing) were used as the test samples. Reference samples P1-P12 consist of
12 positive samples for the six inactivated respiratory pathogens with
different concentrations. Among them, P1 is influenza A/H1N1 (2009) virus,
P2 is influenza A H3 subtype virus, P3 is influenza A H5 subtype virus, P4 is
influenza A H7N9 subtype virus, and P5 is influenza B virus Victoria subtype,
P6 is influenza B virus Yamagata subtype, P7 is respiratory syncytial virus, P8
is adenovirus 3 subtype, P9 is adenovirus 4 subtype, P10 is adenovirus 7
subtype, P11 is Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and P12 is human Rhinovirus. Each
reference sample is diluted with Hanks virus preservation solution (pH
7.2-7.6) or normal saline. 3 batches of qualified kits were used to detect the
samples on the same ABI 7500 instrument, and each sample were repeatedly
tested 3 times to evaluate the measurement accuracy of this kit.

throat swab samples for influenza A virus, influenza B virus, Respiratory
syncytial virus, Adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Human
rhinovirus by using the 3 batches of reagents (2017001, 2017002, 2017003)
were all positive, and there was no non-specific amplification. Negative
samples were all negative, and the test results of internal standard were all
within the range of reference value. Therefore, this kit has good detection
accuracy.

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above that, when testing the positive
reference samples PC01~PC06 in the national reference samples of influenza
A/B virus nucleic acid detection reagent by using the 3 batches of reagents
(2017001, 2017002, 2017003), PC01 and PC02 were all positive with influenza B
virus, PC03—PC06 were all positive with influenza A virus, and there was no
non-specific amplification. The results met the requirements of national
reference sample test for influenza A/B virus nucleic acid detection reagents.
Therefore, this kit has good detection accuracy.

Analytical performance evaluation on Life Technologies


QuantStudioTM 5
Since the Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument
and the ABI 7500 fluorescent PCR instrument are both ABI fluorescent PCR
instruments, and their structural principles are basically the same. So it is
believed that the reagent performance of this kit on the Life Technologies
QuantStudio 5 fluorescent PCR instrument is the same as that on the ABI 7500
instrument. Therefore, the analytical performance evaluation of this kit on the
Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument is omitted.

1. Interferences analysis
1.1 Anti-PCR inhibitor/interfering substance effect
The main purposes of extracting pathogen DNA/RNA are as follows:
enriching the concentration of target nucleic acid sequences, ensuring the
integrity of the target nucleic acid sequence, increasing the uniformity of the
PCR template solution, and removing PCR inhibitors. It is one of the factors
that determine the success of RT-PCR. For example, under the conditions of
low pH and high salt concentration, the modified superparamagnetic
nanoparticles can specifically adsorb viral nucleic acids, and then pure nucleic
acids can be enriched after the following washing steps. Theoretically, the
magnetic bead method can remove PCR inhibitors/interfering substances well
when extracting nucleic acid. But in actual operation, there are many
unforeseen unknown factors, so we need to verify this via experiments. In
addition, the composition of the PCR reaction system also determines the
influence of inhibitors/interfering substances on the PCR reaction.
Appropriate PCR buffer, pH, and the concentration of appropriate dNTPs,
enzymes and other raw materials can reduce the influence of
inhibitors/interfering substances on the PCR reaction. Therefore, it is
necessary for us to experiment to verify this point.
The lentiviral particles containing the target conserved sequence of
influenza A virus, influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and human
rhinovirus, and the cloning plasmid containing the target conserved sequence
of adenovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae were used as the research objects.
The lentiviral particles and cloned plasmids of each pathogen were diluted
with normal saline to a concentration of 7.0 × 103 TU/mL (and copies/mL), and

mixed with equal volumes to form the test sample. The test sample was
divided into several parts, and the possible PCR inhibitors/interfering
substances listed in Table 2-1 were added to each part, and the detection was
carried out according to the operating method in the manual of this kit. The
test sample without interfering substances was used as the control. The test
results of three batches of the kit on the SLAN-96P PCR instrument are shown
in Table 2-2 to Table 2-4 and Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-6 (only the batch of 2017001
is taken as an example for screenshot display).

Conclusion: It can be seen from the experimental results of the above


three batches of reagents that, after extracting nucleic acid with the
recommended sample processing reagents, the test results of various potential
PCR inhibitors/interfering substances in the samples on the SLAN-96P
instrument were not significantly different from the control samples that do
not contain interfering substances. It shows that potential PCR
inhibitors/interfering substances have no interference effect on the PCR
reaction, and have no effect on the detection of respiratory pathogens in this
kit.
1.2 PCR inhibitor removal ability test
The positive throat swab samples with low concentration of influenza A
virus, influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, Mycoplasma
pneumoniae, and human rhinovirus were used as the test samples. The test
sample was divided into several parts, and each part was added with the
possible PCR inhibitors/interfering substances listed in Table 2-1, and the
detection was carried out according to the operating method in the manual of
this kit. The magnetic bead method was used for nucleic acid extraction and
the test sample without interfering substances was used as the control. The
test results are shown in Table 2-5 to Table 2-7 and Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-12
(only the amplification curve of 2017001 batch is screenshot and displayed).

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above experimental results that, by using
the clinically positive throat swab sample as the test sample, the test results of
samples with different concentrations of various PCR inhibitors/interfering
substances have no significant differences after nucleic acid extraction via the
magnetic bead method. It shows that the magnetic bead method is beneficial
for removing PCR inhibitors/interfering substances.

2. Measurement accuracy

The reference samples P1-P12 required in the technical requirements of
the six respiratory pathogens nucleic acid diagnostic kit (PCR-fluorescence
probing) were used as the test samples. Reference samples P1-P12 consist of
12 positive samples for the six inactivated respiratory pathogens with
different concentrations. Among them, P1 is influenza A/H1N1 (2009) virus,
P2 is influenza A H3 subtype virus, P3 is influenza A H5 subtype virus, P4 is
influenza A H7N9 subtype virus, and P5 is influenza B virus Victoria subtype,
P6 is influenza B virus Yamagata subtype, P7 is respiratory syncytial virus, P8
is adenovirus 3 subtype, P9 is adenovirus 4 subtype, P10 is adenovirus 7
subtype, P11 is Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and P12 is human Rhinovirus. Each
reference sample is diluted with Hanks virus preservation solution (pH
7.2-7.6) or normal saline. 3 batches of qualified kits were used to detect the
samples on the same SLAN-96P instrument, and each sample were repeatedly
tested 3 times to evaluate the measurement accuracy of this kit.

Six Respiratory Pathogens Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kit
(PCR-Fluorescence Probing)
Precision Study

In accordance with the technical requirements of the Six Respiratory


Pathogens Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kit (PCR-Fluorescence Probing), three
batches (2017001, 2017002, 2017003) of qualified reagents were continuously
produced. The overall performance evaluation of this kit was carried out on
the three fluorescent quantitative PCR machines, including ABI 7500
fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument, Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5
and SLAN-96P automatic medical PCR analysis system. The evaluation
results of the total analytical performance of these three batches of kits are
described below.

Analytical performance evaluation on ABI 7500 PCR instrument


Precision evaluation
Precision refers to the degree to which multiple parallel test results are
close to each other under the same conditions. The closer the test values, the
higher the precision. Precision reflects the repeatability of the kit operation.

1. Test of precision reference samples


In this experiment, 6 precision reference samples of six respiratory
pathogens nucleic acid diagnostic kits were selected for the imprecision
determination of the kit. Among the 6 reference samples, R1 and R2 are
composed of lentiviral particles containing conserved sequences of influenza
A virus and influenza B virus. The lentivirus of each pathogen is diluted with
normal saline to 5.0 × 104 TU/mL and 5.0 × 103 TU/mL. Each pathogen
lentivirus at the same concentration is mixed in equal volume to R1 and R2.
R3 and R4 are composed of lentiviral particles containing the conserved
sequence of the respiratory syncytial virus. The pathogen lentivirus is diluted
with normal saline to 2.5 × 104 TU/mL and 2.5 × 103 TU/mL to prepare R3 and
R4. R5 and R6 are consisted of cloning plasmids containing adenovirus and
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and lentiviral particles containing the target
conserved sequences of human rhinovirus. The pathogen cloning plasmids
were diluted with normal saline to 5.0 × 104 copise/mL and 5.0 × 103
copise/mL.The lentiviral particles containing the target conserved sequence of
human rhinovirus were diluted with normal saline to 5.0 × 104 TU/mL and 5.0
× 103 TU/mL. The cloning plasmid and lentiviral particles of each pathogen at
the same concentration were mixed in equal volume to R5 and R6. Each
sample was repeatedly tested 10 times, and the detection rate of reference
samples R1, R3 and R5 at medium concentration and reference samples R2,
R4 and R6 at medium concentration were counted and the coefficient of
variance of the detected Ct values of R1-R6 were counted to judge the
precision of this kit.

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above results that, the positive
detection rate of the three batches of kits for normal negative control are all
0% and the positive detection rate of the positive control samples R1-R6 are all
100%. For the precision reference samples R1-R6, the CV of detected Ct values
within the three batches of kits range from 0.31% to 1.48%, the CV of detected
Ct values between batches range from 1.55% to 2.29%, and both of the values
are less than 5%. Therefore, it can be considered that this kit has good
detection precision within and between batches.

1.2.2 Inter-day imprecision


According to the above-mentioned precision measurement method, the
precision performance of the same batch of reagents under the same operator
in different days was investigated. The first test results in the first day are
shown in Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-4; the precision detection test results
performed by the same operators on alternate days are shown in Figure 1-9 to
Figure 1-12 (only the amplification curve of the 2017001 batch of reagents was
shown):

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above results that, the positive
detection rate of the three batches of kits for normal negative control are all
0% and the positive detection rate of the positive control samples R1-R6 are all
100%. For the precision reference samples R1-R6, the CV of detected Ct values
of the three batches of kits by different operators and within one day range
from 0.55% to 2.52%, the CV of detected Ct values of the three batches by the
same operators and between days range from 0.38% to 3.54%, and both of the
values are less than 5%. Therefore, it can be considered that this kit has good
detection precision under different operators and at different times.

2. Precision test of throat swab samples


The clinical throat swab samples were tested by using three batches of
kits to verify the precision performance of the three batches of kits on clinical
samples. For positive samples of each pathogen, a clinical sample with a
higher concentration was selected and diluted to a low concentration for
precision testing. Each sample was extracted 10 times each time and was

3. Precision test of national reference samples


The precision reference samples CV1 and CV2 in the national reference
samples (batch number 370006-201501) of nucleic acid detection reagents for
influenza A/B virus were tested by using three batches of kits. Three batches
of qualified detection kits in this study were tested on the ABI 7500
instrument to verify the precision performance of the three batches of kits on
the national reference samples. Each sample was extracted 10 times each time
and was repeatedly tested 10 times and the CV of Ct values were calculated.

Analytical performance evaluation on Life Technologies


QuantStudioTM 5
Since the Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument
and the ABI 7500 fluorescent PCR instrument are both ABI fluorescent PCR
instruments, and their structural principles are basically the same. So it is
believed that the reagent performance of this kit on the Life Technologies
QuantStudio 5 fluorescent PCR instrument is the same as that on the ABI 7500
instrument. Therefore, the analytical performance evaluation of this kit on the
Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument is omitted.

Precision evaluation
Precision refers to the degree to which multiple parallel test results are
close to each other under the same conditions. The closer the test values, the
higher the precision. Precision reflects the repeatability of the kit operation.

Research data of precision evaluation 32


In this experiment, 6 precision reference samples of six respiratory
pathogens nucleic acid diagnostic kits were selected for the imprecision
determination of the kit. Among the 6 reference samples, R1 and R2 are
composed of lentiviral particles containing conserved sequences of influenza
A virus and influenza B virus. The lentivirus of each pathogen is diluted with
normal saline to 5.0 × 104 TU/mL and 5.0 × 103 TU/mL. Each pathogen
lentivirus at the same concentration is mixed in equal volume to R1 and R2.
R3 and R4 are composed of lentiviral particles containing the conserved
sequence of the respiratory syncytial virus. The pathogen lentivirus is diluted
with normal saline to 2.5 × 104 TU/mL and 2.5 × 103 TU/mL to prepare R3 and
R4. R5 and R6 are consisted of cloning plasmids containing adenovirus and
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and lentiviral particles containing the target
conserved sequences of human rhinovirus. The pathogen cloning plasmids
were diluted with normal saline to 5.0 × 104 copise/mL and 5.0 × 103
copise/mL.The lentiviral particles containing the target conserved sequence of
human rhinovirus were diluted with normal saline to 5.0 × 104 TU/mL and 5.0
× 103 TU/mL. The cloning plasmid and lentiviral particles of each pathogen at
the same concentration were mixed in equal volume to R5 and R6. Each
sample was repeatedly tested 10 times, and the detection rate of reference
samples R1, R3 and R5 at medium concentration and reference samples R2,
R4 and R6 at medium concentration were counted and the coefficient of
variance of the detected Ct values of R1-R6 were counted to judge the
precision of this kit.

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above results that, the positive
detection rate of the three batches of kits for normal negative control are all
0% and the positive detection rate of the positive control samples R1-R6 are all
100%. For the precision reference samples R1-R6, the CV of detected Ct values
within the three batches of kits range from 0.06% to 1.08%, the CV of detected
Ct values between batches range from 0.24% to 3.50%, and both of the values
are less than 5%. Therefore, it can be considered that this kit has good
detection precision within and between batches.

1.2 Intra-day and inter-day imprecision


1.2.1 Intra-day imprecision
According to the above-mentioned precision measurement method, the
precision performance of the same batch of reagents in the same day under
different operator was investigated. In the same day, the first test results are
shown in Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-4 in the intra-batch precision experiment; the
precision detection test results under different operators are shown in Figure
2-5 to Figure 2-8 (only the amplification curve of the 2017001 batch of reagents
was shown):

Conclusion: It can be seen from the above results that, the positive
detection rate of the three batches of kits for normal negative control are all
0% and the positive detection rate of the positive control samples R1-R6 are all
100%. For the precision reference samples R1-R6, the CV of detected Ct values
of the three batches of kits by different operators and within one day range
from 0.11% to 4.17%, the CV of detected Ct values of the three batches by the
same operators and between days range from 0.15% to 4.33%, and both of the
values are less than 5%. Therefore, it can be considered that this kit has good
detection precision under different operators and at different times.

2.Precision test of throat swab samples

Research data of precision evaluation 46


The clinical throat swab samples were tested by using three batches of
kits to verify the precision performance of the three batches of kits on clinical
samples. For positive samples of each pathogen, a clinical sample with a
higher concentration was selected and diluted to a low concentration for
precision testing. Each sample was extracted 10 times each time and was
repeatedly tested 10 times and the CV of Ct values were calculated.

3. Precision test of national reference samples


The precision reference samples CV1 and CV2 in the national reference
samples (batch number 370006-201501) of nucleic acid detection reagents for
influenza A/B virus were tested by using three batches of kits. Three batches
of qualified detection kits in this study were tested on the SLAN-96P PCR
instrument to verify the precision performance of the three batches of kits on
the national reference samples. Each sample was extracted 10 times each time
and was repeatedly tested 10 times and the CV of Ct values were calculated.

Minimum detection limit (Analytical sensitivity)


1. Determination of the minimum detection limit
The pathogen culture medium with known pathogen concentration was
diluted to determine the minimum detection limit of this kit. The
concentration of influenza A virus and influenza B virus was calibrated by
using 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50). The concentration of
respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, human rhinovirus, and Mycoplasma
pneumonia was calibrated by using the nucleic acid concentration of target
fragment (copies/mL). Each pathogen was diluted with normal saline, and
each gradient of diluted pathogen medium had 3 copies, each of which was
tested 20 times with three batches of kits; In total, each gradient of diluted
pathogen medium was repeatedly tested 60 times. The pathogen
concentration and dilution information are shown in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2.
The diluted strain was used as the test sample and was tested according to the
manual of this kit. The test results are shown in Table 1-3 to Table 1-10
(detection results of the three batches of kits) and in Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-24
(only the test results of the 2017001 batch of reagents was shown).

Conclusion: The sample with Ct ≤ 40 was judged as positive, and


pathogen concentration with the positive detection rate ≥ 95% was regarded
as the minimum detection limit. According to the above-described test results
on ABI7500 instrument: when the concentration of test sample of influenza A
virus is 4.0 TCID50/mL, all the positive detection rate are 100%; when the
concentration is 2.0 TCID50/mL, all the positive detection rate are higher than
95%; when the concentration is 1.5 TCID50/mL, the positive detection rate of
three strains of influenza A virus are lower than 95%, when the concentration
is 1.0 TCID50/mL, all the positive detection rate are lower than 70%. Therefore,
in order to ensure that the positive detection rate of all samples is ≥ 95%, the
minimum detection limit of this kit for influenza A virus is set to 2.0
TCID50/mL. Similarly, according to the test results of each pathogen on
ABI7500 instrument, the minimum detection limit of this kit for influenza B
virus is set to 2.0 TCID50/mL; the minimum detection limit of this kit for
respiratory syncytial virus, Adenovirus, Human rhinovirus and Mycoplasma
pneumoniae are all set to 500 copies/mL, respectively.

2. Verification of minimum detection limit


2.1 Verification of clinical samples
The positive throat swab samples for influenza A virus, influenza B virus,
respiratory syncytial virus, Adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and
Human rhinovirus with known pathogen concentration were diluted to verify
the minimum detection limit of this kit. The concentration of influenza A
virus and influenza B virus was calibrated by using 50% tissue culture
infectious dose (TCID50). The concentration of respiratory syncytial virus,
adenovirus, human rhinovirus, and Mycoplasma pneumonia was calibrated

Research data on analytical sensitivity 12


by using the nucleic acid concentration of target fragment (copies/mL). The
samples of each pathogen were diluted with normal saline to the minimum
detection limit of this kit, and the diluted samples were tested by 3 batches of
kits 20 times, respectively.
The concentration of throat swab samples of each pathogen and sample
information are shown in Table 1-11 and Table 1-12. The diluted samples were
used as the test sample and were tested on ABI7500 instrument according to
the manual of this kit. The test results are shown in Table 1-13 to Table 1-18
(detection results of the three batches of kits) and in Figure 1-25 to Figure 1-42

2.2 Verification of national reference samples


The minimum detection limit reference samples S1-S5 in the national
reference samples of nucleic acid detection kits for influenza A/B virus
(Batches 370006-201501) were tested. S1-S5 were diluted to 2.0 TCID50/mL and
were tested using three batches of qualified kits on ABI7500 instrument, so as
to verify the sensitivity performance of the three batches of kits on national
reference samples. Each sample was extracted 20 times each time and was
repeatedly tested 20 times. The test results were then counted.
Test results are shown in Table 1-19 (Results of the three batches of kits)
and Figure 1-43 to Figure 1-47 (Only the results of 2017001 batch are shown).

Analytical performance evaluation on Life Technologies
QuantStudioTM 5
Since the Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument
and the ABI 7500 fluorescent PCR instrument are both ABI fluorescent PCR
instruments, and their structural principles are basically the same. So it is
believed that the reagent performance of this kit on the Life Technologies
QuantStudio 5 fluorescent PCR instrument is the same as that on the ABI 7500
instrument. Therefore, the analytical performance evaluation of this kit on the
Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument is omitted.

Minimum detection limit (Analytical sensitivity)


1.Determination of the minimum detection limit
The pathogen culture medium with known pathogen concentration was
diluted to determine the minimum detection limit of this kit. The
concentration of influenza A virus and influenza B virus was calibrated by
using 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50). The concentration of
respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, human rhinovirus, and Mycoplasma
pneumonia was calibrated by using the nucleic acid concentration of target
fragment (copies/mL). Each pathogen was diluted with normal saline, and
each gradient of diluted pathogen medium had 3 copies, each of which was
tested 20 times with three batches of kits; In total, each gradient of diluted
pathogen medium was repeatedly tested 60 times. The pathogen
concentration and dilution information are shown in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.
The diluted strain was used as the test sample and was tested according to the
manual of this kit. The test results are shown in Table 2-3 to Table 2-10
(detection results of the three batches of kits) and in Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-24
(only the test results of the 2017001 batch of reagents was shown).

Conclusion: The sample with Ct ≤ 40 was judged as positive, and


pathogen concentration with the positive detection rate ≥ 95% was regarded
as the minimum detection limit. According to the above-described test results
on SLAN-96P instrument: when the concentration of test sample for influenza
A virus is 4.0 TCID50/mL, all the positive detection rate are 100%; when the
concentration is 2.0 TCID50/mL, all the positive detection rate are higher than
95%; when the concentration is 1.5 TCID50/mL, the positive detection rate of
three strains of influenza A virus are lower than 95%, when the concentration
is 1.0 TCID50/mL, all the positive detection rate are lower than 70%. Therefore,
in order to ensure that the positive detection rate of all samples is ≥ 95%, the
minimum detection limit of this kit for influenza A virus is set to 2.0
TCID50/mL. Similarly, according to the test results of each pathogen on
SLAN-96P instrument, the minimum detection limit of this kit for influenza B
virus is set to 2.0 TCID50/mL; the minimum detection limit of this kit for
respiratory syncytial virus, Adenovirus, Human rhinovirus and Mycoplasma
pneumoniae are all set to 500 copies/mL, respectively.

2.Verification of minimum detection limit


2.1Verification of clinical samples
The positive throat swab samples for influenza A virus, influenza B virus,
respiratory syncytial virus, Adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and
Human rhinovirus with known pathogen concentration were diluted to verify
the minimum detection limit of this kit. The concentration of influenza A
virus and influenza B virus was calibrated by using 50% tissue culture
infectious dose (TCID50). The concentration of respiratory syncytial virus,
adenovirus, human rhinovirus, and Mycoplasma pneumonia was calibrated
by using the nucleic acid concentration of target fragment (copies/mL). The
samples of each pathogen were diluted with normal saline to the minimum
detection limit of this kit, and the diluted samples were tested by 3 batches of
kits 20 times, respectively. The concentration of throat swab samples of each
pathogen and sample information are shown in Table 2-11 and Table 2-12. The
diluted samples were used as the test sample and were tested on SLAN-96P
instrument according to the manual of this kit. The test results are shown in
Table 2-13 to Table 2-18 (detection results of the three batches of kits) and in

purified mucin, heme, urea, sodium chloride, human whole blood, etc.) in the
test sample on the test results, and to examine the effects of treatment drugs
for respiratory pathogens in the sample (such as oxymetazoline hydrochloride,
dexamethasone, zanamivir, cefmenoxime hydrochloride, menthol, etc.) on
PCR, Lentiviral particles containing the target conserved sequence of
influenza A virus, influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and human
rhinovirus, and cloning plasmids containing the target conserved sequence of
adenovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae were used as the research objects.
Lentiviral particles and cloning plasmids of each pathogen were diluted with
normal saline to a concentration of 7.0 × 103 TU/mL (and copies/mL), and were
then mixed with equal volume to form the test sample. The test sample was
divided into several parts, and each part was added with the possible internal
and external interfering substances listed in Table 1-3 and was tested
according to the operating method in the manual of this kit. The test sample
without interfering substances was used as the control. The test results of
three batches of kits on ABI7500 instrument are shown in Table 1-4 to Table
1-6 and in Figure 1-7 to Figure 1-12 (Only the test results of 2017001 batch of
reagents are shown).

Conclusion: It can be seen from the test results of the above mentioned
three batched of reagents that, on the ABI7500 instrument, the test results of
weak positive samples containing the above-mentioned internal and external
interfering substances are not significantly different from those of the control
group (weak positive samples that do not contain interfering substances).
Therefore, it can be shown that this kit has a good anti-interference ability
against these internal and external interfering substances.

2.2 Verification of anti-internal and external interfering substances


Studies on analytical specificity 10
Positive throat swab samples for influenza A virus, influenza B virus,
respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and human
rhinovirus at low concentration were used as the test samples and were
divided into several parts. Each part was added with the possible internal and
external interfering substances in PCR listed in Table 1-3 and was tested
according to the operating method in the manual of this kit. Magnetic bead
method was used to extract nucleic acid and the test sample without
interfering substances was used as the control. Test results are shown in Table
1-7 to Table 1-9 and in Figure 1-13 to Figure 1-18 (Only the test results of
2017001 batch of reagents are shown).

Conclusion: It can be seen from the test results of the above mentioned
three batched of reagents that, on the ABI7500 instrument, the test results of
weak positive samples containing the above-mentioned internal and external
interfering substances are not significantly different from those of the control
group (weak positive samples that do not contain interfering substances).
Therefore, it can be shown that, under the experimental conditions of this kit,
these internal and external substances below the above-mentioned
concentration have no effect on the test results of the kit.

Analytical performance evaluation on Life Technologies


QuantStudioTM 5
Since the Life Technologies QuantStudioTM 5 fluorescent PCR instrument
and the ABI 7500 fluorescent PCR instrument are both ABI fluorescent PCR
instruments, and their structural principles are basically the same. So it is

2. Research on internal and external interfering substances


2.1 Anti-internal and external interfering substances effects
To investigate the impact of possible endogenous substances (such as
purified mucin, heme, urea, sodium chloride, human whole blood, etc.) in the
test sample on the test results, and to examine the effects of treatment drugs
for respiratory pathogens in the sample (such as oxymetazoline hydrochloride,
dexamethasone, zanamivir, cefmenoxime hydrochloride, menthol, etc.) on
PCR, Lentiviral particles containing the target conserved sequence of
influenza A virus, influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and human
rhinovirus, and cloning plasmids containing the target conserved sequence of
adenovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae were used as the research objects.
Lentiviral particles and cloning plasmids of each pathogen were diluted with
normal saline to a concentration of 7.0 × 103 TU/mL (and copies/mL), and were
then mixed with equal volume to form the test sample. The test sample was
divided into several parts, and each part was added with the possible internal
and external interfering substances listed in Table 2-3 and was tested
according to the operating method in the manual of this kit.
The test sample without interfering substances was used as the control.
The test results of three batches of kits on SALN-96P instrument are shown in
Table 2-4 to Table 2-6 and in Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-12 (Only the test results of

Conclusion: It can be seen from the test results of the above mentioned
three batched of reagents that, on the SLAN-96P instrument, the test results of
weak positive samples containing the above-mentioned internal and external
interfering substances are not significantly different from those of the control
group (weak positive samples that do not contain interfering substances).
Therefore, it can be shown that this kit has a good anti-interference ability
against these internal and external interfering substances.

2.2 Test of removal ability of PCR inhibitor
Positive throat swab samples for influenza A virus, influenza B virus,
respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and human
rhinovirus at low concentration were used as the test samples and were
divided into several parts. Each part was added with the possible internal and
external interfering substances in PCR listed in Table 2-3 and was tested
according to the operating method in the manual of this kit. Magnetic bead
method was used to extract nucleic acid and the test sample without
interfering substances was used as the control. Test results are shown in Table
2-7 to Table 2-9 and in Figure 2-13 to Figure 2-18 (Only the test results of
2017001 batch of reagents are shown).
