Example 1 Test of Virus Lysis Effects of Different Detergents

[0053] Step 1: Lysis buffers 1, 11, 12 and 13 were prepared.

[0054] Step 2: Samples were rewarmed at room temperature, and a metal bath was opened.

[0055] Step 3: 1% agarose gel was prepared.

[0056] (1) 0.25 g of agarose was accurately weighed and poured into a conical flask.

[0057] (2) About 25 ml of TAE was measured with a special measuring cylinder (to avoid excessive gel concentration caused by evaporation during heating), poured into the conical flask, and gently shaken for uniform mixing by a small force to prevent drug powder from attaching to a cup wall, which was not conducive to subsequent dissolution.

[0058] (3) A mixture obtained after uniform mixing was placed in a microwave oven, and heated for a certain period of time until liquid in the conical flask was boiled and a solution was clear and transparent (the solution was taken out and observed, and heating was continued when particles were observed), where the heating time was not too long so as to prevent the liquid from evaporating completely (a total of about 2 min).

[0059] (4) The solution was taken out and slightly cooled, and when the solution was cooled to a temperature acceptable to touch with hands, 1 l of a dye Gelred was added (when the dye was Goldenview, the addition amount was only 0.1 l, which might be judged based on experience to avoid a too yellow solution). Since the dye was attached to the head of a gun and was difficult to shoot out at a small addition amount, the dye was shoot out to a cup wall and then dissolved by shaking the conical flask.

[0060] (5) Then agarose gel was taken out and usually cooled for 30 min based on experience.

[0061] (6) When residual gel was difficult to clean during cleaning of the conical flask, a small amount of water was added, a mixture was heated slightly and directly poured into a waste liquid tank, and finally, the collected gel was wrapped with gloves and discarded or uniformly recycled.

[0062] Step 4: An adeno-associated virus to be detected was treated.

[0063] (1) The lysis buffers 1, 11, 12 and 13 were diluted to 2, respectively.

[0064] (2) Samples of an experimental group were prepared. 5 l of AAV2-GFP samples (210.sup.10/l) rewarmed at room temperature were mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffers 1, 11, 12 and 13 or water, respectively.

[0065] (3) Samples of a negative control group were prepared. 5 l of AAV2 capsid (empty shell) samples rewarmed at room temperature were mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffers 1, 11, 12 and 13 or water, respectively, and 5 l of AAV2 capsid samples and 5 l of the 2 lysis buffers 1, 11, 12 and 13 were used as a blank control group.

[0066] (4) The samples in steps (2) and (3) were treated in the metal bath at 95 C. for 10 min.

[0067] (5) Cooling was performed at room temperature for 10 min.

[0068] Step 5: Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed.

[0069] (1) 2 l of a 6DNA gel loading purple dye was added into the cooled samples.

[0070] (2) 3 l of a 5k Marker was added into a first pore channel.

[0071] (3) 8 l of the samples were sequentially added into pore channels.

[0072] (4) Electrophoresis was performed at 100 V and 200 mA for 50 min.

[0073] (5) Photographing was performed with a gel imager, where the genome size of AAV2-GFP was about 3.2 kb (FIG. 1A), and the ratio of each lysis buffer of the AAV2-GFP experimental group in FIG. 1A to the blank control group was calculated by ImageJ (FIG. 1B).

[0074] Agarose gel electrophoresis results of the samples treated with the lysis buffers 1, 11, 12 and 13 respectively are shown in FIG. 1A. In the AAV2-GFP experimental group, the lysis buffer 1 has more obvious strips than the blank control and the lysis buffers 11, 12 and 13. In addition, except for the lysis buffer 1, a large number of the AAV2-GFP samples are remained in the pore channels under other treatment conditions. FIG. 1B shows electrophoresis strip quantification results of the AAV2-GFP experimental group in FIG. 1A. It can be seen that the lysis buffers 1 and 12 have obvious differences compared with the blank control group, and the lysis buffer 1 obviously has a better effect than the lysis buffer 12. In summary, the experimental results show that the lysis buffer 1 including SDS has an optimal lysis effect on the viral capsid.

Example 2 Test of the Optimal Concentration of SDS

[0075] Lysis buffers 1, 2 and 14 were prepared, and experimental conditions and methods were used with reference to those in Example 1.

[0076] Agarose gel electrophoresis results of samples treated with the lysis buffers 1, 2 and 14 respectively are shown in FIG. 2A. In an AAV2-GFP experimental group, the lysis buffers 2 and 14 have more obvious strips than the lysis buffer 1, but the lysis buffer 14 has a higher strip background value and strip dragging conditions. FIG. 2B shows electrophoresis strip quantification results of the AAV2-GFP experimental group in FIG. 2A. By calculating ratios based on the lysis buffer 1, it can be seen that the lysis buffers 2 and 14 have obvious differences compared with the lysis buffer 1, and the lysis buffer 14 has a slightly better effect than the lysis buffer 2. However, by considering the electrophoresis imaging results comprehensively, the lysis buffer 2 including SDS with a concentration of 0.05% is appropriate.

Example 3 Test of the Optimal Concentration of NaCl

[0077] Lysis buffers 2-7 were prepared, and experimental conditions and methods were used with reference to those in Example 1.

[0078] Agarose gel electrophoresis results of samples treated with the lysis buffers 2-7 respectively are shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A. In AAV2-GFP experimental groups, the samples treated with the lysis buffer 2 have relatively higher strip background values than other experimental groups, and under treatment with the lysis buffers 6 and 7, a large number of the AAV2-GFP samples are remained in pore channels. FIG. 3B and FIG. 4B show electrophoresis strip quantification results of the AAV2-GFP experimental groups in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A, respectively. By calculating ratios based on the lysis buffer 2, it can be seen that the lysis buffers 4-7 have obvious differences compared with the lysis buffer 2, and the lysis buffer 4 has a relatively better effect. By considering the electrophoresis imaging results comprehensively, the lysis buffer 4 including 0.05% SDS added with 0.05 M NaCl can further improve the strip brightness and reduce strip dragging conditions.

Example 4 Test of Sample Cooling Conditions

[0079] Step 1: A lysis buffer 4 was prepared.

[0080] Step 2: Samples were rewarmed at room temperature, and a metal bath was opened.

[0081] Step 3: 1% agarose gel was prepared by the same method in Example 1.

[0082] Step 4: The samples to be detected were treated.

[0083] (1) The lysis buffer 4 was diluted to 2.

[0084] (2) A sample of an experimental group was prepared. 5 l of an AAV2-GFP sample (210.sup.10/l) rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 4.

[0085] (3) A sample of a negative control group was prepared. 5 l of an AAV2 capsid (empty shell) sample rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 4.

[0086] (4) The samples in steps (2) and (3) were treated in the metal bath at 95 C. for 10 min.

[0087] (5) The samples in step (4) were cooled on ice for 10 min, cooled at room temperature (25 C.) for 10 min, or cooled at 37 C. for 10 min, respectively.

[0088] Step 5: Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed.

[0089] (1) 2 l of a 6 DNA gel loading purple dye was added into the cooled samples.

[0090] (2) 3 l of a 5k Marker was added into a first pore channel.

[0091] (3) 8 l of the samples were sequentially added into pore channels.

[0092] (4) Electrophoresis was performed at a voltage of 100 V and a current of 200 mA for 50 min.

[0093] (5) Photographing was performed with a gel imager.

[0094] Agarose gel electrophoresis results of the samples treated with the lysis buffer 4 are shown in FIG. 5A, and the AAV2-GFP sample treated with the lysis buffer 4 can have clear strips at 4 C. (ice), 25 C. (room temperature) or 37 C. FIG. 5B shows electrophoresis strip quantification results of the AAV2-GFP experimental group in FIG. 5A. By calculating ratios at 4 C., it can be seen that the three cooling conditions have no obvious differences, thus proving that the effect of the lysis buffer of the present disclosure is not affected by the temperature of a sample cooling environment.

Example 5 Test of Sample Lysis Conditions

[0095] Step 1: A lysis buffer 2 was prepared.

[0096] Step 2: Samples were rewarmed at room temperature, and a metal bath was opened.

[0097] Step 3: 1% agarose gel was prepared by the same method in Example 1.

[0098] Step 4: The samples to be detected were treated.

[0099] (1) The lysis buffer 2 was diluted to 2.

[0100] (2) A sample of an experimental group was prepared. 5 l of an AAV2-GFP sample (210.sup.10/l) rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 2 or water.

[0101] (3) A sample of a negative control group was prepared. 5 l of an AAV2 capsid (empty shell) sample rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 2 or water, and 5 l of an AAV capsid sample and 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 2 were used as a blank control group.

[0102] (4) The samples in steps (2) and (3) were treated in the metal bath at 95 C. for 10 min or were not heated.

[0103] (5) Cooling was performed at room temperature (25 C.) for 10 min or was not performed.

[0104] Step 5: Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed.

[0105] (1) 2 l of a 6DNA gel loading purple dye was added into the cooled samples.

[0106] (2) 3 l of a 5k Marker was added into a first pore channel.

[0107] (3) 8 l of the samples were sequentially added into pore channels.

[0108] (4) Electrophoresis was performed at a voltage of 100 V and a current of 200 mA for 50 min.

[0109] (5) Photographing was performed with a gel imager.

[0110] Agarose gel electrophoresis results are shown in FIG. 6A, where sample conditions, from left to right, are sequentially as follows: (1) treatment with H.sub.2O without heating; (2) treatment with H.sub.2O and heating at 95 C. for 10 min without cooling; (3) treatment with H.sub.2O, heating at 95 C. for 10 min and cooling at room temperature for 10 min; and (4) treatment with a lysis buffer 2, heating at 95 C. for 10 min and cooling at room temperature for 10 min. In the AAV2-GFP experimental group, the sample treated with the lysis buffer 2 and heated at 95 C. for 10 min can have clearest strips without a large number of samples remained in pore channels. FIG. 6B shows electrophoresis strip quantification results of the AAV2-GFP experimental group in FIG. 6A. By calculating ratios based on the conditions of treatment with H.sub.2O without heating, it can be seen that the samples can have obvious differences after being heated, and an optimal effect is achieved when the samples are treated with the lysis buffer 2 and heated at 95 C., proving that the viral protein capsid can be destroyed at a high temperature of 95 C. to release single-stranded genomic DNA.

Example 6 Test of the Optimal Concentration of EDTA

[0111] Lysis buffers 4, 8, 9 and 10 were prepared, and experimental conditions and methods were used with reference to those in Example 1.

[0112] Agarose gel electrophoresis results of samples treated with the lysis buffers 4, 8, 9 and 10 respectively are shown in FIG. 7A. In an AAV2-GFP experimental group, the sample treated with the lysis buffer 10 has clearest and brightest strips. FIG. 7B shows electrophoresis strip quantification results of the AAV2-GFP experimental group in FIG. 7A. By calculating ratios based on the lysis buffer 4, it can be seen that the lysis buffers 8-10 have obvious differences compared with the lysis buffer 4, and the lysis buffer 10 has a relatively better effect, thus proving that the addition of EDTA promotes formation of double-stranded DNA and enables strips to be further clear and bright. Therefore, the lysis buffer 10 including 0.05% SDS and 0.05 M NaCl added with 5 mM EDTA is an optimal solution.

Example 7 Test of Lysis Buffers in Reasonable Concentration Ranges

[0113] Step 1: Lysis buffers 10, 15, 16 and 17 were prepared.

[0114] Step 2: Samples were rewarmed at room temperature, and a metal bath was opened.

[0115] Step 3: 1% agarose gel was prepared.

[0116] (1) 0.25 g of agarose was accurately weighed and poured into a conical flask.

[0117] (2) About 25 ml of TAE was measured with a special measuring cylinder (to avoid excessive gel concentration caused by evaporation during heating), poured into the conical flask, and gently shaken for uniform mixing by a small force to prevent drug powder from attaching to a cup wall, which was not conducive to subsequent dissolution.

[0118] (3) A mixture obtained after uniform mixing was placed in a microwave oven, and heated for a certain period of time until liquid in the conical flask was boiled and a solution was clear and transparent (the solution was taken out and observed, and heating was continued when particles were observed), where the heating time was not too long so as to prevent the liquid from evaporating completely (a total of about 2 min).

[0119] (4) The solution was taken out and slightly cooled, and when the solution was cooled to a temperature acceptable to touch with hands, 1 l of a dye Gelred was added (when the dye was Goldenview, the addition amount was only 0.1 l, which might be judged based on experience to avoid a too yellow solution). Since the dye was attached to the head of a gun and was difficult to shoot out at a small addition amount, the dye was shoot out to a cup wall and then dissolved by shaking the conical flask.

[0120] (5) Then agarose gel was taken out and usually cooled for 30 min based on experience.

[0121] (6) When residual gel was difficult to clean during cleaning of the conical flask, a small amount of water was added, a mixture was heated slightly and directly poured into a waste liquid tank, and finally, the collected gel was wrapped with gloves and discarded or uniformly recycled.

[0122] Step 4: An adeno-associated virus to be detected was treated.

[0123] (1) The lysis buffers 15, 16 and 17 were diluted to 2, respectively.

[0124] (2) Samples of an experimental group were prepared. 5 l of AAV2-GFP samples (210.sup.10/l) rewarmed at room temperature were mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffers 15, 16 and 17, respectively.

[0125] (3) Samples of a negative control group were prepared. 5 l of AAV2 capsid (empty shell) samples rewarmed at room temperature were mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffers 15, 16 and 17, respectively, and 5 l of AAV2 capsid samples and 5 l of the 2 lysis buffers 15, 16 and 17 were used as a blank control group.

[0126] (4) The samples in steps (2) and (3) were treated in the metal bath at 95 C. for 10 min.

[0127] (5) Cooling was performed at room temperature for 10 min.

[0128] Step 5: Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed.

[0129] (1) 2 l of a 6 DNA gel loading purple dye was added into the cooled samples.

[0130] (2) 3 l of a 5k Marker was added into a first pore channel.

[0131] (3) 8 l of the samples were sequentially added into pore channels.

[0132] (4) Electrophoresis was performed at 100 V and 200 mA for 50 min.

[0133] (5) Photographing was performed with a gel imager. Results are shown in FIG. 8. As can be seen from the figure, in the AAV2-GFP experimental group, all the lysis buffers in reasonable ranges can achieve an effect.

Example 8

[0134] Step 1: A lysis buffer 10 was prepared.

[0135] Step 2: Samples were rewarmed at room temperature, and a metal bath was opened.

[0136] Step 3: Operations were the same as those in Example 7.

[0137] Step 4: An adeno-associated virus to be detected was treated.

[0138] (1) The lysis buffer 10 was divided into two parts, where one part was not diluted (10), and the other part was diluted to 2.

[0139] (2) Samples of an experimental group were prepared. Sample in a pore channel 1:5 l of an AAV2-GFP sample (110.sup.11) rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 10. Sample in a pore channel 2:9 l of an AAV2-GFP sample (110.sup.11) rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 1 l of the undiluted lysis buffer 10.

[0140] (3) Samples of a negative control group were prepared. 5 l of an AAV2 capsid (empty shell) sample rewarmed at room temperature was mixed with 5 l of the 2 lysis buffer 10 to serve as a negative control of the pore channel 1, and 9 l of an AAV2 capsid (empty shell) sample rewarmed at room temperature and 1 l of the undiluted lysis buffer 10 were mixed to serve as a negative control of the pore channel 2.

[0141] (4) The samples in steps (2) and (3) were treated in the metal bath at 95 C. for 10 min.

[0142] (5) Cooling was performed at room temperature for 10 min.

[0143] Step 5: Operations were the same as those in Example 7.

[0144] Results are shown in FIG. 9. As can be seen from the figure, the molecular weight of viruses with different concentrations in the system can be well determined by the lysis buffer or the diluent thereof.
