[PMID: 33884570 DOI: 10.1007/s13258-021-01100-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are known to play a central etiological role in the development of cervical cancer. General HPV genotyping methods consist of PCR with consensus primers combined with various detection methods. OBJECTIVE The aim was to develop HPV L1 DNA reference materials to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of genotyping results obtained from the HPV DNA Genotyping Chip (HPV CHIP) and RFMP assays. METHODS In this study, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) established reference DNA materials for the L1 gene from 41 subtypes of anogenital HPV to aid in genotyping human papillomavirus (HPV) strains. Of these, 22 subtypes were obtained from cervical scrape samples of Korean women and 19 subtypes were synthesized. These reference materials include 13 high-risk types (HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68), 3 probable high-risk types (HPV-26, 53, and 66), 16 low-risk types (HPV-6, 10, 11, 27, 34, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 55, 61, 70, 72, 73, and 81), and 8 undetermined-risk types (HPV-3, 57, 62, 67, 69, 71, 74, and 84). After confirming the sequences by standard methods, these HPV L1 DNA reference materials were then used to compare results from the HPV DNA Genotyping Chip (HPV CHIP) and restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) assays. RESULTS Data collected from the HPV CHIP and RFMP assay showed comparably high sensitivity and accuracy. Both assays could detect 102 or more copies/μl of HPV L1 DNA from 39 types of HPV, with higher accuracy in detecting samples with mixed types of HPV. CONCLUSION The present study confirms the HPV L1 DNA reference materials developed by MFDS are reliable and useful for the evaluation of HPV genotyping assays.

Abstract
Researches on detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) high-risk samples were carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with microchip electrophoresis (MCE). Herein, we introduced a simple, rapid, automated method for detecting high-risk samples HPV16 and HPV18. In this research, general primers were initially selected to obtain sufficient detectable yield by PCR to verify feasibility of MCM method for HPV detection, then type-specific primers were further used to evaluate the specificity of MCE method. The results indicated MCE method was capable of specifically detecting high-risk HPV16 and HPV18, and also enabled simultaneous detection of multiplex samples. This MCE method described here has been successfully applied to HPV detection and displayed excellent reliability demonstrating by sequencing results. The inherent capability of MCE facilitated HPV detection conducted in a small chip with automated, high throughput, massive parallelized analysis. We envision that MCE method will definitely pave a way for clinical diagnosis, and even on-site screening of cervical cancer. A rapid, automatic assay was established for HPV detection. The described method exhibited the advantages of facile operation mode. The proposed method is of high sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility.

Abstract
The detection of the HPV L1 protein provides information about the infection status of the virus, reflects the replication status of the HPV virus in cervical cells, and helps understand the regression and progress of cervical lesions. Herein, we report a novel laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) method for the sensitive detection of the HPV 16 L1 protein, based on non-covalent competitive adsorption between the HPV 16 L1 aptamer and melamine on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The intensity of the MS signal corresponding to the mass tag shows a linear relationship with the HPV 16 L1 concentration in the range 2-80 ng mL-1, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 58.8 pg mL-1. Using this method, the HPV 16 L1 protein is quantitatively analyzed in both clinical and vaccine samples. The described method is simple and has high sensitivity and good reliability.

Abstract
This work developed a novel spermine-modified nanodiamonds (SP-NDs)-based method to selectively enrich oligonucleotides for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) of human papillomavirus (HPV) virus. Our results showed that SP-NDs can effectively extract and enrich DNA oligonucleotides from sodium dodecyl sulfonate and urea solution. In addition, SP-NDs can also selectively extract oligonucleotides from enzymes digestion products of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment mass polymorphism (PCR-RFMP) of HPV virus. Then, the extract can be detected by MALDI-TOF MS directly without further purification. According to the MS results, the HPV genotyping can be achieved. More importantly, with SP-NDs extraction, clinical samples infected with HPV genotype 16 and 18 can be identified. The described method shows great advantages of simplicity, high selectivity, and good reliability in real clinical samples. Due to our methods improvement on DNA enrichment, extraction and purification, the PCR-based MALDI-TOF MS for the analysis of oligonucleotides maybe become more rapid, sensitive, and high-throughput, is promising for analysis for DNA methylation, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and other virus typing.

Abstract
Restriction enzymes are the bread and butter of Molecular Biology. Nonetheless, how restriction enzymes recognize and cleave their target is not always clear. When developing a method for the enzymatic production of oligonucleotides, we noticed that type II endonucleases BtsCI and BseGI, which recognize the sequence GGATGNN^, perform incomplete digestions of DNA hairpins, with the top strand nick not always occurring correctly. We tested the cutting of synthetic hairpins containing all possible combinations of dinucleotides following the recognition site and our results show that all sequences containing one adenine following GGATG were digested more efficiently. We further show that the same sequence preference is also observable in double stranded DNA at higher Mg2+ concentrations and even in optimal conditions. Kinetic results show that BtsCI has a noteworthy difference in the first-rate constants between different sequences and between the two catalytic domains. An increase in Mg2+ resulted in a drastic decrease in the catalytic activity of the top (sense) strand that wasn’t always accompanied by a nick in the bottom strand (antisense).

Abstract
RATIONALE Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HILIC-LC/ESI-MS) has been proved to be useful for the quality control of oligonucleotides. However, the lack of separation for some oligonucleotides using HILIC-LC/MS has proved problematic. This study aimed to improve the resolving ability of HILIC-LC/MS. METHODS The study was performed on a Waters UPLC® system coupled to a Waters LCT premier XE ESI-TOF mass spectrometer using a Zorbax® RRHD HILIC column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm). Buffer systems contained triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) and acetonitrile. The effects of the concentration of TEAA and the type of organic modifiers on the separation of oligonucleotides were investigated. RESULTS The results showed that the optimum concentration of TEAA is 10 mM and acetonitrile is a better organic solvent than methanol. The addition of TEAA in the HILIC mobile phase improved the separation of N from N + A significantly compared to the HILIC method buffered with ammonium acetate. The IP-HILIC chromatography has demonstrated that the separation of oligonucleotides is sequence dependent. In addition, the IP-HILIC method produces a much simpler mass spectrum of an oligonucleotide with very efficient desalting. CONCLUSIONS The HILIC-LC/MS method with the addition of TEAA at a MS-compatible concentration has improved the separation of oligonucleotides. The IP-HILIC-LC/MS method also produces very simple mass spectra with high desalting efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to compare the performance of the AdvanSure assay to the Hybrid Capture (HC) 2 for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV). METHODS A total of 855 cervical swab specimens were obtained. We submitted all specimens for HR HPV detection with HC2 and the AdvanSure assay. We subsequently analyzed discordant results and specimens that were positive on both assays using restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) genotyping analysis. RESULTS HC2 yielded positive results in 12.0% of specimens, while the AdvanSure assay detected one of 13 HR HPV types in 11.5% of specimens. The overall agreement rate between the assays was 98.5% with a kappa coefficient of 0.928. Discordant results between these two assays were observed in 12 cases, seven were positive only on HC2 and five were positive only on AdvanSure. RFMP analysis of the 12 discordant cases revealed three false-positive results using HC2, and one false-positive and five false-negative results using AdvanSure. CONCLUSIONS Considering the high agreement rate with HC2 and the ability to differentiate 35 HPV genotypes including HPV 16/18, the AdvanSure assay could be used as a laboratory testing method for HPV infection screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Along with advances in methodological technologies, various assays for detecting high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) have been introduced. The GeneFinder HPV liquid beads microarray PCR kit is one of the recently developed. Our aim was to compare the performance of GeneFinder to Hybrid Capture 2 for detection of HR HPV. METHODS A total of 900 cervical swab specimens were obtained. All specimens were submitted for HR HPV detection with Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) and GeneFinder and then additionally analyzed the discordant or both positive results using restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) genotyping analysis. RESULTS Hybrid Capture 2 detected 12.8% cases and GeneFinder detected 15.8% cases with 13 HR HPV types. Also, GeneFinder detected 27.4% cases for 32 detectable HPV types. The overall agreement rate was 93.2% with 0.724 kappa coefficient. Discordant results between these two assays were observed in 56 cases. HC2 showed sensitivity of 83.5% and specificity of 95.9%, while GeneFinder showed sensitivity of 85.4% and specificity of 91.9%. For HPV 16 or HPV 18 detection, GeneFinder showed 95.0% or 66.7% of sensitivity and 99.2% or 100%, respectively. Overall coinfection rate was 15.4% (38/247) in GeneFinder analysis. CONCLUSIONS Considering the high agreement rate with HC2, high sensitivity and the ability to differentiate 32 HPV genotypes including HPV 16/18, GeneFinder could be used as a laboratory testing method for the screening of HPV infections. The use of GeneFinder may also contribute to future research associated with the significance of various HPV types and multiple coinfections.

Abstract
The development of a rapid, high-throughput and cost-effective HIV-1 drug resistance (HIV-DR) testing system is a challenge for areas consisting different HIV-1 strains. In this study, we established a broadly reactive multiplex assay that could simultaneously detect major drug resistance mutations at 8 loci, which are associated with resistance to commonly used nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), in specimens of HIV-1 CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and subtype B, the three major circulating strains in China, using the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) provided by Sequenom MassARRAY® system. To establish the assay, pol gene fragments were prepared from the plasma viral RNA of 159 patients by nested PCR and the presence of wild type and mutant alleles at the 8 loci were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS. In terms of loci, the detection rate of the alleles was greater than 97% for M41L, K65R, M184V and G190A, 91.2% for K101E/Q/P, 91.2% for T215F/Y, 89.9% for K103N/S and 80.5% for L210W. In terms of individuals, 80% of the alleles were detected in 95.4% CRF01_AE patients, 100% CRF07_BC patients and 83.3% subtype B patients. Importantly, the MALDI-TOF MS results were concordant to the drug resistance profiles of patients obtained from conventional sequencing analysis after excluded the failed detections. Using plasmid templates, the assay was estimated to be sensitive to detect drug resistant variants at level about 20% of the circulating viral population. The capability of this assay to detect mixed viral populations was further verified by two different patient specimens. In conclusion, this study evaluated the use of Sequenom MassARRAY® system for high-throughput detection of HIV-DR mutations towards the commonly used reverse transcriptase inhibitors in China.

Abstract
Mutations in the GJB2 gene are the most common cause of congenital hearing loss in many populations. This study describes the development of a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based minisequencing assay, TheraTyper-GJB2, for the detection of c.35delG, c.167delT, and c.235delC mutations in the GJB2 gene. This assay was evaluated for analytic performance, including detection limit, interference, cross-reactivity, and precision, using GJB2 reference standards prepared by site-directed mutagenesis of a molecular clone. The detection limit was as low as 0.040 ng of human genomic DNA per PCR. No cross-reactivity with bacteria and viruses and no negative effects of increased levels of various potential interfering substances was observed. A precision test involving repetitive analysis of 2400 replicates showed 99.9% agreement (2397 of 2,400) with 99.8% (95% CI, 99.7%-99.8%) sensitivity and 100.0% (95% CI, 99.3%-100.0%) specificity. TheraTyper-GJB2 and direct sequencing assays showed 100% concordance for detecting mutations in 1,113 clinical specimens. Overall, TheraTyper-GJB2 showed comparable performance for detecting GJB2 mutations in reference and clinical samples with that of direct sequencing, and easier interpretation of results for analysis of a large quantity of samples. Therefore, the TheraTyper-GJB2 assay will be practically useful for the diagnosis of GJB2 mutations associated with congenital hearing loss with faster, cheaper, more reliable, and high-throughput capability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mutations of the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) gene are known to be important in the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers. Patients with mutant KRAS tumors do not respond to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors and fail to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Testing for KRAS mutations is now being recommended as a tailored therapeutic strategy prior to anti-EGFR treatment; however, the low sensitivity of direct sequencing frequently leads to failure of detection of KRAS mutations in clinical samples. DESIGN AND METHODS We developed restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) assays, to detect KRAS mutations in codons 12, 13, and 61. We performed RFMP analysis for KRAS on DNA isolated from eight different KRAS mutant cell lines and 34 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) lung cancer tissues. RESULTS Overall, the RFMP assay was in good concordance with direct sequencing analysis in the detection of KRAS mutations. By using dilutions of KRAS mutant DNA in wild type DNA from mutation cell lines with a known KRAS status, we confirmed that the RFMP assay has a higher analytical sensitivity, requiring only 3% of cells in a sample to have mutant alleles, compared to direct sequencing, which had a detection threshold of ~25%. In the FFPE samples, RFMP successfully detected KRAS genotypes in codons 12, 13, and 61. CONCLUSION The RFMP might be efficiently applicable for the detection of KRAS mutations in a clinical setting, particularly for tumor samples containing abundant non-neoplastic cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Molecular diagnostic methods have enabled the rapid diagnosis of drug-resistant mutations in hepatitis B virus (HBV) and have reduced both unnecessary therapeutic interventions and medical costs. In this study we evaluated the analytical and clinical performances of the HepB Typer-Entecavir kit (GeneMatrix, Korea) in detecting entecavir-resistance-associated mutations. METHODS The HepB Typer-Entecavir kit was evaluated for its limit of detection, interference, cross-reactivity, and precision using HBV reference standards made by diluting high-titer viral stocks in HBV-negative human serum. The performance of the HepB Typer-Entecavir kit for detecting mutations related to entecavir resistance was compared with direct sequencing for 396 clinical samples from 108 patients. RESULTS Using the reference standards, the detection limit of the HepB Typer-Entecavir kit was found to be as low as 500 copies/mL. No cross-reactivity was observed, and elevated levels of various interfering substances did not adversely affect its analytical performance. The precision test conducted by repetitive analysis of 2,400 replicates with reference standards at various concentrations showed 99.9% agreement (2398/2400). The overall concordance rate between the HepB Typer-Entecavir kit and direct sequencing assays in 396 clinical samples was 99.5%. CONCLUSIONS The HepB Typer-Entecavir kit showed high reliability and precision, and comparable sensitivity and specificity for detecting mutant virus populations in reference and clinical samples in comparison with direct sequencing. Therefore, this assay would be clinically useful in the diagnosis of entecavir-resistance-associated mutations in chronic hepatitis B.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has found numerous applications in life sciences. It has high accuracy, sensitivity and wide dynamic range in addition to medium- to high-throughput capabilities. These features make MS a superior platform for analysis of various biomolecules including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates. Until recently, MS was applied for protein detection and characterization. During the last decade, however, MS has successfully been used for molecular diagnostics of microbial and viral infections with the most notable applications being identification of pathogens, genomic sequencing, mutation detection, DNA methylation analysis, tracking of transmissions, and characterization of genetic heterogeneity. These new developments vastly expand the MS application from experimental research to public health and clinical fields. Matching of molecular techniques with specific requirements of the major MS platforms has produced powerful technologies for molecular diagnostics, which will further benefit from coupling with computational tools for extracting clinical information from MS-derived data.

Abstract
Viral genotype assessment is important for effective clinical management of HIV-1 infected patients, especially when access and/or adherence to antiretroviral treatment is reduced. In this study, we describe development of a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry-based viral genotyping assay, termed restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP). This assay is suitable for sensitive, specific and high-throughput detection of multiple drug-resistant HIV-1 variants. One hundred serum samples from 60 HIV-1-infected patients previously exposed to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs) were analysed for the presence of drug-resistant viruses using the RFMP and direct sequencing assays. Probit analysis predicted a detection limit of 223.02 copies/mL for the RFMP assay and 1268.11 copies/mL for the direct sequencing assays using HIV-1 RNA Positive Quality Control Series. The concordance rates between the RFMP and direct sequencing assays for the examined codons were 97% (K65R), 97% (T69Ins/D), 97% (L74VI), 97% (K103N), 96% (V106AM), 97% (Q151M), 97% (Y181C), 97% (M184VI) and 94% (T215YF) in the reverse transcriptase coding region, and 100% (D30N), 100% (M46I), 100% (G48V), 100% (I50V), 100% (I54LS), 99% (V82A), 99% (I84V) and 100% (L90M) in the protease coding region. Defined mixtures were consistently and accurately identified by RFMP at 5% relative concentration of mutant to wild-type virus while at 20% or greater by direct sequencing. The RFMP assay based on mass spectrometry proved to be sensitive, accurate and reliable for monitoring the emergence and early detection of HIV-1 genotypic variants that lead to drug resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The need for accurate genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections is becoming increasingly important as HPV is the primary cause of cervical cancer worldwide. The matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) assay provides accurate, broad-spectrum, high-throughput genotyping of HPV. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the clinical performance of the RFMP assay compared to a commercially available Roche linear array HPV genotyping test (LA) for detecting and genotyping of HPV. STUDY DESIGN The RFMP assay and the LA were compared for detecting and genotyping HPV among a cohort of 244 liquid-based cytology samples. RESULTS Overall, 216 specimens (93.1%, κ = 0.86) generated concordant results for the presence or absence of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) by the two assays. The RFMP assay and the LA assay generated concordant, compatible, and discordant genotyping results for 79.3, 9.9, and 10.8%, respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of RFMP and LA for the cervical lesions of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were similar, at 92.9 and 85.0% (RFMP) and 92.9 and 83.8% (LA), respectively. In addition, the odds ratio for SCC with HR-HPV positivity estimated by the RFMP assay (73.7, 95% CI: 8.9-3173.3) was higher than the LA assay (67.0, 95% CI: 8.2-2887.0). CONCLUSIONS The RFMP and the LA assays were highly comparable with regard to detection and genotyping analysis of HPV. The sensitivity and specificity of RFMP assay for the detection of HR-HPV in various levels of cervical lesions seems to be valuable in the monitoring of HPV-associated cervical cancer.

Abstract
Long-term infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, while infection with low-risk HPV is the major reason for condylomata acuminata. An accurate, rapid, and convenient assay that is able to simultaneously detect, genotype, and quantify HPV would be of great clinical value yet remains to be achieved. We developed a three-color real-time PCR assay that is able to analyze 30 predominant HPV types in three reactions. The amplification curves indicated the presence of HPV, melting curve analysis identified the HPV genotype, and the quantification cycle value determined the quantity. We applied this assay to 647 cervical swab samples, and the results were compared with those obtained with a commercial genotyping system. The proposed assay had a limit of detection of 5 to 50 copies per reaction and a dynamic range of 5 × 10(1) to 5 × 10(6) copies per reaction. A comparison study showed that the overall sample concordance with the comparison method was 91.6% and the type agreement was greater than 98.7%. The quantification study demonstrated that the loads of HPV type 16 in 30 samples with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade III (CIN III) lesions were significantly higher than those in samples with CIN I lesions or CIN II lesions, and the results were concordant with those of the comparison method. The increased information content, high throughput, and low cost would facilitate the use of this real-time PCR-based assay in a variety of clinical settings.

Abstract
The development of a prophylactic vaccine that targets human papillomaviruses (HPV) 6, 11, 16, and 18 to prevent cervical cancer has increased interest in the ethnic and geographical distributions of HPV genotypes. We investigated HPV prevalence and type distribution by restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) testing a total of 60,775 specimens (aged 18-79 yr, median 44) taken from liquid-based cytology. Overall HPV positive rate of total patients was 34.2%. Among the positive patients, 87.7% was single type infections, and 12.3% was multiple HPV types. HPV-16 was the most prevalent genotype observed in 2,307 (26.0%), followed by type 52 in 2,269 (25.5%), type 58 in 1,090 (12.3%), type 18 in 633 (7.1%), type 56 in 436 (4.9%). The pattern of high risk-HPV positive rate according to age showed U-shape with a peak in HPV prevalence among women less than 30 yr of age, and a second peak among the older females aged 70 to 79 yr. The leading four high-risk HPV genotypes were HPV-16, HPV-52, HPV-58, and HPV-18 in descending order. In conclusion, this study provides the most representative prevalence and type-specific distribution of HPV among Korean women, and demonstrates that the epidemiology of HPV infection is different from that of other regions of the world.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of enteric viruses that cause similar symptoms (e.g. hand, foot and mouth disease) is essential to the prevention of outbreaks and control of infections. In this study, a novel PCR-Mass assay combining multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was developed and used for simultaneous detection of eight distinct human enteric viruses. Enteric viral isolates and standard viral RNAs were examined to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the PCR-Mass assay. Clinical performance was evaluated with a total of 101 clinical specimens from patients suspected of having hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The results were compared to those of previous analyses using real-time RT-PCR. The identification of specific viruses and clinical specimens shows that the PCR-Mass assay performed as well as or better than standard methods with respect to indicating the presence of multiplex pathogens in a single specimen.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the etiologic agent of mankind's most serious liver disease. While the availability of a vaccine has reduced the number of new HBV infections, the vaccine does not benefit the approximately 350 million people already chronically infected by the virus. Most of the drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of hepatitis B target the reverse transcriptase (RT or P gene product) and are nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs) that suppress viral replication. However, prolonged monotherapies directed against a single target result in the emergence of viral resistance. HBV genotypic differences affect NRTI resistance, and because the reading frames of the S (surface antigen) and P genes partially overlap, genomic differences that affect the surface of the virus may also alter the viral polymerase sequence, function and drug susceptibility. The scope of this review is to assess the effects of HBV genotypic variation on the development of drug resistance to NRTIs. Some RT residues that vary among different genotypes are in the vicinity of residues that mutate and give rise to NRTI resistance. Interactions between these amino acids can help explain the effect of HBV genotype on the development of NRTI resistance during antiviral therapies, and might help in the design of improved therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry-based restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) assay was adapted to human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping. The analytical sensitivity and the clinical utility were evaluated by testing defined HPV genome equivalents and a total of 426 specimens composed of normal cytology, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The RFMP assay was able to detect 38.4-114.6 genomic equivalents of a wide variety of HPV types. The RFMP assay detected 34 different HPV genotypes in cervical samples of which 8% were found to be multiple-type infections. The high-risk HPV positivity rate according to the histological diagnosis was 7.9% (8/101), 31.7% (38/120), 50% (55/110), 86% (37/43), 96.2% (50/52) in normal, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and squamous cell carcinoma subgroups, respectively. Diagnostic sensitivities/specificities for the cervical lesions of squamous cell carcinoma and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or worse histology were found to be 96.2%/92.1% and 91.6%/92.1%, respectively. The sensitivity, accuracy, wide range of genotype identification and high-throughput capacity with cost-effectiveness of the test consumables make the RFMP assay suitable for mass screening and monitoring of HPV-associated cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug resistance is a major limitation to the long-term efficacy of controlling chronic hepatitis B (CHB). There is a growing need to analyse multiple mutations associated with drug resistance because sequential or combinational use of antivirals is increasingly being used in treatment. In this study, we introduced a multiplex restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) assay for detecting mutations conferring entecavir and lamivudine resistance, and compared its performance with direct or clonal sequencing assays. METHODS Multiplex PCR was performed with mixed primers designed to interrogate rt184, rt202, rt204 and rt250. The PCR products were digested with restriction enzymes and the resulting fragments were analysed by mass spectrometry. A total of 251 serum samples, taken serially from 45 patients who received entecavir treatment after confirmed diagnosis of lamivudine resistance and inadequate adefovir dipivoxil response, were analysed by the multiplex RFMP assay. RESULTS The multiplex RFMP assay correctly identified known viral sequences with sufficient analytical sensitivity to detect as few as 100 IU/ml of HBV and with superior ability to determine haplotypes composed of neighbouring variations. Complex mutational patterns and relative abundances determined by multiplex RFMP assay were in good concordance with results obtained by direct or clonal sequencing analyses. Defined mixtures were successfully and consistently identified at 2% relative concentration of mutant versus wild-type virus by the assay. CONCLUSIONS The multiplex RFMP assay is an accurate and sensitive means to detect entecavir and lamivudine resistance mutations, simultaneously. The method is expected to enable early and efficient diagnosis of multiple drug resistance mutations for optimal management of CHB.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is here successfully coupled to negative-ion electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOFMS) for the analysis of synthetic and chemically modified oligonucleotides. Separation was performed on a 2.1 mm × 100 mm PEEK ZIC HILIC column packed with hydrophilic stationary phase with a permanent zwitterionic functional group and a particle size of 3.5 μm with an average pore diameter of 200Å. A method was developed to separate homogeneous and heterogeneous oligonucleotides as well as methylated oligonucleotides using a quaternary pumping system containing ammonium acetate and water with an acetonitrile gradient. Analyses of oligonucleotides were performed by LC/MS with a detection limit of 2.5 picomole (20 mer) with signal to noise ratio (S/N) of 4.12. The influence of the eluent composition, type of buffer and its concentration, and organic modifier were also evaluated. The HILIC LC/MS method presented in this paper used common, 'MS friendly', mobile phases achieving sensitive and selective oligonucleotide analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing coupled with appropriate clinical management is associated with a significant decline in the rate of advanced cervical cancer and associated death. METHODS In this present study, we evaluated the performance of 2 new HPV genotyping methods, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in 30 kinds of HPV control materials and in 129 cases of cervical smears including 79 HPV-positive samples screened from 1,600 abnormal clinical samples and 50 cervical cytology samples. RESULTS The HPV genotyping accuracy of both MALDI-TOFMS and SPR was 100% for the HPV genotyping of control materials. In the analysis of the 79 HPV-positive samples by MALDI-TOFMS, HPV positivity was 88.6% (70/79). Nine samples were non-high-risk HPV (non-HR-HPV), which were not targets of MALDI-TOFMS. In the analysis of the 50 cervical samples, the agreement of both tests was 84% with a κ value of 0.660. By using consensus results that mean agreement between 2 of 3 methods, the HR-HPV genotyping accuracy was 100% (77/77) by MALDI-TOFMS and 94.8% (73/77) by SPR in the 129 cervical samples. The sensitivity (88.2%; 82/93) and specificity (88.9%; 32/36) of MALDI-TOFMS were similar to those of SPR. CONCLUSION These results support that MALDI-TOFMS is a sensitive, specific and feasible method for HR-HPV detection in clinical application, compared with the SPR method.

Abstract
Innovation in molecular diagnostics ultimately requires the conceptually distinct design of detection architectures. The diagnostic strategies reported thus far (planar/suspension arrays) suffer from either mass transport issues or limitations on the maximum number of targets that can be simultaneously detected. We report herein an expressed peptide assay scheme, by using nanoparticle probes, for detecting DNA hybridization events. The method exploits plasmid-encoded peptide tags as surrogate molecules for the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry identification of target DNA. The binding of target DNA is achieved through its recognition with a gold nanoparticle probe (functionalized with peptide-encoding plasmid and oligonucleotide complementary to part of the target sequence) and a microparticle probe (derivatized with oligonucleotide complementary to the rest of the target sequence). The magnetic separation of the three-component complex and expression of the peptide allows for the target identification by mass spectrometry. The detection of two DNA targets has been demonstrated through the selection of each individual tag for the respective target. Importantly, the modular nature of the probe design, by decoupling molecular binding events from peptide expression processes, should enable the ready extension of the methodology to the analysis of other species. An assay on a protein target has confirmed the efficacy of the conceptual framework proposed herein beyond the detection of DNA. The vast choice of mass tags offered by mass spectrometry provides significant advantages over previously documented assay systems.

Abstract
This article describes several emerging molecular assays that have potential applications in the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory viral infections. These techniques include direct nucleic acid detection by quantum dots, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, amplification using arbitrary primers, target-enriched multiplexing amplification, pyrosequencing, padlock probes, solid and suspension microarrays, and mass spectrometry. Several of these systems already are commercially available to provide multiplex amplification and high-throughput detection and identification of a panel of respiratory viral pathogens. Further validation and implementation of such emerging molecular assays in routine clinical virology services will enhance the rapid diagnosis of respiratory viral infections and improve patient care.
