摘要：Cervical carcinoma is the second most common cancer in women worldwide with greater than 99% of the cases caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Early detection of HPVs especially the high risk types (HR-HPVs) are essential to prevent the disease progression. The existing methods for HPV detection, such as qPCR are of high sensitivity and specificity, but the need for expensive machinery and well-trained personnel slow down the disease detection. The emerging Cas12a-based method presents a new technique for nucleic acid detection. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive when used for HPV detection, as several reactions are required in order to identify multiple HPV infections. We herein present a non-genotyping method for 13 types of HR-HPV detection in a single reaction by combining the isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method with CRISPR-Cas12a technology. The result could be achieved in 35 min with high sensitivity (500 copies per reaction). This assay represents great advances for the application of RPA-Cas12a system and holds a great potential to address the key challenges facing the HPV diagnostics.
