摘要

Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute (PfAgo) is a novel programmable nuclease that has been used in nucleic acid detection due to its excellent performance. Traditional PfAgo based detection methods relies on the input of exogenous guide DNA (gDNA), which restricted its flexibility and universality in application. Here, we designed primers with deoxy inosine base which can be recognized and cleaved by endonuclease V, following turn into gDNA to activate PfAgo for target gene detection. Therefore, an Endo V activated PfAgo based nucleic acid detection (VPN) method was developed. The detection limit of this method was 0.04 ng/μL DNA. Moreover, the method was successfully applied to the detection of food contaminated bacteria. This approach provided a universal and power tool for the detection of nucleic acid-containing organisms such as pathogens, viruses, and tumor cells.
