- the RNP complex is inactive but, when mixed with the sample to be tested, binding of the RNP complex to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the sample activates the Cast 3 protein to cut RNA, including reporter RNA molecules added to the assay mixture. Cleavage of the reporter RNA leads to fluorescence, which can be detected by a fluorescence detector.

- the presence or absence of an RSV infection in patient is detected by qualitatively or quantitatively detecting level of reporter RNA cleavage product(s) that may be present in the mixture.
- RNA amplification is generally needed, whereas currently available methods (e.g., SHERLOCK) require RNA amplification to be sufficiently sensitive.

- the methods, kits, and devices descnbed herein are rapid, providing results within 30 minutes. Expensive lab equipment and expertise is not needed.
- the methods described herein are amenable to many different sample types (blood, nasal/oral swab, etc.).
- the methods, kits, and devices described herein are easily deployable in the field (airport screenings, borders, resource poor areas) so that potentially infected people will not need to go to hospitals and clinics where non-infected patients, vulnerable persons, and highly trained, urgently needed medical people may be.

- CRISPR-Casl3 is a viable alternative to conventional methods of detecting and quantifying RNA by RT-PCR.
- the advantages of using CRISPR-Casl3 can be leveraged for RSV diagnostics.
- the Cast 3 protein targets RNA directly, and it can be programmed with crRNAs to provide a platform for specific RNA sensing. By coupling it to an RNA-based reporter, the collateral or non-specific RNase activity of the Casl3 protein can be harnessed for RS V detection.
- the present disclosure provides methods and compositions for diagnosing virus infections, such as RSV infections, quantifying RNA concentrations, such as RSV RNA concentrations, and identifying the presence of different virus subtypes and/or mutations, such as RSV subtypes and/or mutations.
- the methods can be performed in a single tube, for example, the same tube used for collection and RNA extraction. This method provides a single step point of care diagnostic method.
- the methods can be performed in a two-chamber system.
- the collection swab containing a biological sample can be directly inserted into chamber one of such a two chamber system. After agitation, removal of the swab, and lysis of biological materials in the sample, the division between the two chambers can be broken or removed, and the contents of the first chamber can be allowed to flow into the second chamber.
- the second chamber can contain the Casl3 protein, the selected crRNA(s), and the reporter RNA so that the assay for RSV can be performed.
- Chamber one can contain a buffer that would facilitate lysis of the viral particles and release of genomic material.
- lysis buffers that can be used include, but are not limited to PBS, commercial lysis buffers such as Qiagen RLT+ buffer or Quick Extract, DNA/RNA Shield, various concentrations of detergents such as Triton X-I00, Tween 20, NP-40, or Oleth-8, or combinations of such reagents.
- the chamber may be briefly (e.g., 2-5 mins) heated (e.g., 55 °C or 95 °C) to further facilitate lysis. Then, the division between the two chambers would be broken or removed, and the nasal extract buffer would be allowed to flow into and reconstitute the second chamber, which would contain the lyophilized reagents for the Casl3 assay (Casl3 RNPs and reporter RNA molecules).
- the methods, devices and compositions described herein for diagnosing RSV infection can involve incubating a mixture having a sample suspected of containing RSV RNA, a Cast 3 protein, at least one CRISPR RNA (crRNA), and a reporter RNA for a period of time to form reporter RNA cleavage products that may be present in the mixture and detecting a level of any such reporter RNA cleavage products with a detector.
- the detector can be a fluorescence detector such as a short quenched-fluorescent RNA detector, or Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) detector.
- reporter RNA can be used.
- the reporter RNA can be configured so that upon cleavage by the Casl3 protein, a detectable signal occurs.
- the reporter RNA can have a fluorophore at one location (e.g.. one end) and a quencher at another location (e.g., the other end).
- the reporter RNA can have an electrochemical moiety (e.g., ferrocene, or dye), which upon cleavage by a Cast 3 protein can provide electron transfer to a redox probe or transducer.
- the reporter RNA can have a reporter dye, so that upon cleavage of the reporter RNA the reporter dye is detected by a detector (e.g., spectrophotometer).
- a detector e.g., spectrophotometer
- one end of the reporter RNA can be bonded to a solid surface.
- a reporter RNA can be configured as a cantilever, which upon cleavage releases a signal.
- a signal may be improved by use of an unattached reporter RNA (e.g.. not covalently bond to a solid surface).
- a surface of the assay vessel or the assay material can have a detector for sensing release of the signal.
- the signal can be or can include a light signal (e.g., fluorescence or a detectable dye), an electronic signal, an electrochemical signal, an electrostatic signal, a steric signal, a van der Waals interaction signal, a hydration signal, a Resonant frequency shift signal, or a combination thereof.
- a light signal e.g., fluorescence or a detectable dye
- an electronic signal e.g., an electrochemical signal, an electrostatic signal, a steric signal, a van der Waals interaction signal, a hydration signal, a Resonant frequency shift signal, or a combination thereof.
- the reporter RNA can, for example, be at least one quenched-fluorescent RNA reporter.
- quenched-fluorescent RNA reporter can optimize fluorescence detection.
- the quenched- fluorescent RNA reporters include an RNA oligonucleotide with both a fluorophore and a quencher of the fluorophore. The quencher decreases or eliminates the fluorescence of the fluorophore. When the Casl3 protein cleaves the RNA reporter, the fluorophore is separated from the associated quencher, such that a fluorescence signal becomes detectable.
- RNaseAlert One example of such a fluorophore quencher-labelled RNA reporter is the RNaseAlert (IDT).
- IDTT RNaseAlert
- RNaseAlert was developed to detect RNase contaminations in a laboratory, and the substrate sequence is optimized for RNase A species.
- Another approach is to use lateral flow strips to detect a FAM-biotin reporter that, when cleaved by Cast 3, is detected by anti-FAM antibody- gold nanoparticle conjugates on the strip. Although this allows for instrument-free detection, it requires 90-120 minutes for readout, compared to under 30 minutes for most fluorescence-based assays (Gootenberg et al. Science. 360(6387):439-44 (April 2018)).
- the sequence of the reporter RNA can be optimized for Cast 3 cleavage.
- Cast 3 preferentially exerts RNase cleavage activity at exposed uridine or adenosine sites, depending on the Cast 3 homolog.
- the inventors have tested 5-mer homopolymers for all ribonucleotides. Based on these preferences, various RNA oligonucleotides, labeled at the 5' and 3' ends of the oligonucleotides using an Iowa Black Quencher (IDT) and FAM fluorophore, and systematically test these sequences in the trans- ssRNA cleavage assay as described in the Examples. The best sequence can be moved into the mobile testing.
- IDTT Iowa Black Quencher
- FAM fluorophore FAM fluorophore
- the fluorophores used for the fluorophore quencher-labelled RNA reporters can include Alexa 430, STAR 520, Brilliant Violet 510, Brilliant Violet 605, Brilliant Violet 610, or a combination thereof.
- the detector is a fluorescence detector, optionally a short quenched-fluorescent RNA detector, or Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) detector.
- the fluorescence detector can detect fluorescence from fluorescence dyes such the Alexa 430, STAR 520, Brilliant Violet 510, Brilliant Violet 605, Brilliant Violet 610, or a combination thereof.
- Some mechanisms or devices can be used to help eliminate background fluorescence. For example, reducing fluorescence from outside the detection focal plane can improve the signal-to- noise ratio, and consequently, the resolution of signal from the RNA cleavage products of interest.
- Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) enables very low background fluorescence and single molecule sensitivity with a sufficiently sensitive camera.
- mobile phones can be used for detection of virus, such as RSV.
- both Casl3 and reporter RNA can be tethered to a solid surface, upon addition of crRNA and RSV RNA samples, an activated Cast 3 can generate small fluorescent spots on the solid surface when imaged using Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF).
- TIRF Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence
- the fluorophore side of reporter RNA is tethered to the solid surface as well so that cleavage permits the quencher portion of the reporter RNA to diffuse away.
- the Cast 3 protein can be tethered to the solid surface with a tether that is long enough to allow it to cleave multiple RNA reporter molecules. Counting the bright spots emerging on the solid surface the viral load can be quantified.
- Use of TIRF in the portable system facilitates detection and reduces background so that the RNA cleavage product signals can readily be detected.
- a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of the Cast 3 protein and the crRNA can be tethered to the solid surface.
- the crRNA would then not need to be added later. Instead, only the sample suspected of containing RSV RNA would need to be contacted with the solid surface.
- the methods described herein can include direct detection of the target RNA in the sample, without performing further sample preparation steps prior to detection, such as depleting a portion of the sample of protein, enzymes, lipids, nucleic acids, or a combination thereof or inactivating nucleases.
- the methods described herein can include depleting a portion of the sample prior to other step(s) or inhibiting a nuclease in the sample prior to the other step(s).

- hybridize and “hybridization” refer to the formation of complexes between nucleotide sequences which are sufficiently complementary to form complexes via Watson-Crick base pairing.
- homologous region refers to a region of a nucleic acid with homology to another nucleic acid region. Thus, whether a "homologous region" is present in a nucleic acid molecule is determined with reference to another nucleic acid region in the same or a different molecule. Further, since a nucleic acid is often double-stranded, the term “homologous, region.” as used herein, refers to the ability of nucleic acid molecules to hybridize to each other. For example, a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule can have two homologous regions which are capable of hybridizing to each other. Thus, the term “homologous region” includes nucleic acid segments with complementary sequences.

- complementary refers to polynucleotides that are able to form base pairs with one another. Base pairs are typically formed by hydrogen bonds between nucleotide units in an anti-parallel orientation between polynucleotide strands. Complementary polynucleotide strands can base pair in a Watson-Crick manner (e.g., A to T, A to U, C to G), or in any other manner that allows for the formation of duplexes. As persons skilled in the art are aware, when using RNA as opposed to DNA, uracil (U) rather than thymine (T) is the base that is considered to be complementary to adenosine.
- uracil when uracil is denoted in the context of the present invention, the ability’ to substitute a thymine is implied, unless otherwise stated.
- “Complementarity” may exist between two RNA strands, two DNA strands, or between an RNA strand and a DNA strand. It is generally understood that two or more polynucleotides may be “complementary” and able to form a duplex despite having less than perfect or less than 100% complementarity. Two sequences are "perfectly complementary” or " 100% complementary” if at least a contiguous portion of each polynucleotide sequence, comprising a region of complementarity, perfectly base pairs with the other polynucleotide without any mismatches or interruptions within such region.
- Two or more sequences are considered “perfectly complementary” or “100% complementary” even if either or both polynucleotides contain additional non-complementary sequences as long as the contiguous region of complementarity within each polynucleotide is able to perfectly hybridize with the other.
- "Less than perfect” complementarity refers to situations where less than all of the contiguous nucleotides within such region of complementarity’ are able to base pair with each other. Determining the percentage of complementarity between two polynucleotide sequences is a matter of ordinary skill in the art.

- Cas2 performs anon-enzymatic scaffolding role, binding double-stranded fragments of invading DNA, while Casl binds the single-stranded flanks of the DNA and catalyzes their integration into CRISPR array s.
- one or more elements of a CRISPR system are derived from a particular organism comprising an endogenous CRISPR system, such as Streptococcus pyogenes .
- a CRISPR system can be characterized by elements that promote the formation of a CRISPR complex at the site of a target sequence (also referred to as a protospacer in the context of an endogenous CRISPR system).
- the disclosure provides protospacers that are adjacent to short (3 - 5 bp) DNA sequences termed protospacer adjacent motifs (PAM).
- PAMs are important for type I and type II systems during acquisition.
- type I and type II systems protospacers are excised at positions adjacent to a PAM sequence, with the other end of the spacer is cut using a ruler mechanism, thus maintaining the regularity of the spacer size in the CRISPR array.
- the conservation of the PAM sequence differs between CRISPR-Cas systems and may be evolutionarily linked to Casl and the leader sequence.
- a regulatory element is operably linked to one or more elements of a CRISPR system so as to drive expression of the one or more elements of the CRISPR system.

Description
DIAGNOSTIC USING CRISPR RNA AND CAS 13 A ENZYME
PRIORITY
This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/441,213, filed January 26, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
BACKGROUND
Detection of respiratory infections, including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B, is critical for targeting locations and populations that need medical assistance. For example, the estimated U.S. influenza illnesses in the 2019-2020 season was approximately 38 million people. In that same influenza season, approximately 400,000 people were hospitalized and approximately 22.000 died from the disease. Additionally. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections are rampant and result in many hospitalizations. For example, in 2015, the estimated global acute lower respiratory infections caused by RSV included 3.2 million young children and 336,000 older adults resulting in over 73,000 deaths.
Current respiratory' virus diagnostic assays include RT-qPCR nucleic-acid based tests (NATs) that require lab-based equipment and personnel or rapid diagnostics (RIDTs) that detect viral antigens. These assays are not quantitative or multiplexed with other relevant respiratory viruses. These assays are also not appropriate for use by inexperienced or untrained personnel, such as for at home use.
SUMMARY
A rapid, easy-to-use detection assay for viral RNA from respiratory' body fluid samples is needed for identifying respiratory infections. For instance, current RSV diagnostic assays include RT-qPCR nucleic-acid based tests or antigen detecting tests that require lab-based equipment and personnel.
Descnbed herein are methods, compositions, and devices for detecting and quantifying target viral RNA, such as RSV, that are faster and more readily deployable in the field than currently available methods and devices. In addition, the methods, compositions and devices can readily detect and distinguish between strains and variants of the target viral RNA.
The methods described herein can include: (a) incubating a sample suspected of containing RSV RNA or virus yvith one or more Casl3 protein(s), at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA), and at least one reporter, e.g., reporter RNA, for a period of time sufficient to form at least one
detectable product, such as a detectable RNA cleavage product; and (b) detecting the reporter, e.g., a reporter RNA cleavage product, with a detector. Such methods are useful for detecting whether the sample contains one or more copies of RSV RNA. The methods are also useful for detecting the absence of infection with the virus carry ing the target viral RNA. Moreover, the methods and compositions described herein can also readily identify whether a variant or mutant strain of virus carrying the target viral RNA is present in a sample, and determining what the variant or mutation is.
The methods described herein are useful for diagnosing RSV infections in a variety' of complex biological samples. For example, the samples can include human saliva, sputum, mucus, nasopharyngeal materials, blood, serum, plasma, urine, aspirate, biopsy tissue, or a combination thereof.
In one embodiment, the assay is a single-step POC, or at-home assay based on CRISPR/Casl3a technology' that enables direct detection of RSV RNA following lysis and provides quantitative information for viral load. In one embodiment, the assay does not include reverse transcription and amplification.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Many aspects of the present disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale. Instead, emphasis is placed on clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Furthermore, components can be shown as transparent in certain views for clarify of illustration only and not to indicate that the illustrated component is necessarily transparent.
FIGs. 1A-1B illustrates use of CRISPR-Casl3 and CRISPR guide RNAs (crRNAs) to detect target RNA. FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram illustrating CRISPR-Casl3 detection of target viral RNA using a CRISPR-Casl3 protein that binds CRISPR guide RNAs (crRNA) to form a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. The crRNA targets or guides the CRISPR-Casl3 protein to target viral RNA sequences, where the Cast 3 protein is activated to cleave RNA, including the reporter RNA. FIG. IB is a similar schematic diagram further illustrating a Cas 13a: crRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex binding of target viral RNA, resulting in activation of the Casl3a nuclease (denoted by scissors). Upon target recognition and RNP activation, Casl3a indiscriminately cleaves a quenched-fluorophore RNA reporter, allowing for fluorescence detection as a proxy for Casl3a activation and the presence of target RNA.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating methods for detection of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome and fluorescent detection of reporter RNA. CRISPR guide RNAs (crRNA) that can target or bind to SARS-CoV-2 RNA are used. As illustrated, in a first step the CRISPR-Casl3 protein
binds CRISPR guide RNAs (crRNA) to form a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. The RNP complex is inactive but, when mixed with the sample to be tested, binding of the RNP complex to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the sample activates the Cast 3 protein to cut RNA, including reporter RNA molecules added to the assay mixture. Cleavage of the reporter RNA leads to fluorescence, which can be detected by a fluorescence detector.
FIG. 3 illustrates a point-of-care (POC) method for detecting viruses. As illustrated, a sample can be collected (e g., a patient’s saliva, sputum, mucus, or nasopharyngeal sample), the cells and/or viruses in the sample can be lysed to release any viral RNA that may be present, and the RNA from the sample can be mixed with reporter RNAs and a CRISPR-Casl3 protein-crRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. Background fluorescence from control reactions can be subtracted and the fluorescence of the sample can be detected. Detection can be by a fluorometer or other suitable device. Such point-of-care detection allows mobilization of medical support and medical personnel.
FIG. 4 shows the validation and cross-reactivity of exemplary RSV A RNA guides against host RNA and nasal swabs (signal slope over 2 hours).
FIG. 5 graphically illustrates that signal slopes from each reaction of target viral RNA for RSV A, or RNP alone with the RNA guides alone or combined.
FIG. 6 show the validation and cross-reactivity of exemplary RSV B RNA guides against host RNA and nasal swabs (signal slope over 2 hours).
FIG. 7 provides an exemplary RSV A consensus sequence (SEQ ID NO:401) which may be employed to prepare crRNAs specific for a large number of RSV A isolates.
FIG. 8 provides an exemplary RSV B consensus sequence (SEQ ID NO:406) which may be employed to prepare crRNAs specific for a large number of RSV B isolates.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Methods, kits and devices are described herein for rapidly detecting and/or quantifying virus infection. The methods can include (a) incubating a sample suspected of containing RNA or virus with one or more Cas 13 protein, at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) that binds a target site in at least one of RSV A or RSV B nucleic acid, and at least one reporter RNA for a period of time sufficient to form at least one RNA cleavage product(s); and (b) detecting level(s) of reporter RNA cleavage product(s) with a detector. Such methods are useful for detecting whether the sample contains one or more copies of RSV RNA. The methods are also useful for detecting the absence of an RSV infection.
In some aspects, the disclosure provides methods for identifying the target virus RNA from a sample suspected of containing the target viral RNA. The target virus RNA can be from any RNA vims selected for detection in a sample. In some aspects, the target viral RNA can be from a virus that causes a respiratory7 infection or establishes its primary7 infection in the tissues and fluids of the upper respiratory tract. For example, the RNA virus can be RSV, such as RSV A or B. RSV is a negative sense, single stranded RNA virus.
In addition to RSV, other targets may’ be identified. In one embodiment, the target viral RNA can be common cold coronaviruses, such as strains NL63, OC43, or 229E. The target viral RNA can also be SARS-CoV-2, a hepatitis virus (e.g., HCV), or influenza vims, influenza virus A or influenza virus B. In some cases, the target viral RNA can be from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The methods can thus be used to detect and identify a combination of viral RNAs, for example, using methods and components described in any of PCT publications
WO 2020/051452; WO 2021/188830; and WO 2022/046706, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
In some aspects, provided herein are methods for diagnosing the presence or absence of a RSV infection comprising incubating a mixture comprising a sample suspected of containing RSV RNA, a Cast 3 protein, at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA). and a reporter RNA for a period of time to form any reporter RNA cleavage product(s) that may be present in the mixture; and detecting level(s) of reporter RNA cleavage product(s) that may be present in the mixture with a detector. In some cases, the RSV RNA in a sample and/or the RNA cleavage products are not reverse transcribed prior to the detecting step. The presence or absence of an RSV infection in patient is detected by qualitatively or quantitatively detecting level of reporter RNA cleavage product(s) that may be present in the mixture.
The methods described herein have various advantages. For example, the methods described herein can directly detect RNA without additional manipulations. No RNA amplification is generally needed, whereas currently available methods (e.g., SHERLOCK) require RNA amplification to be sufficiently sensitive. The methods, kits, and devices descnbed herein are rapid, providing results within 30 minutes. Expensive lab equipment and expertise is not needed. The methods described herein are amenable to many different sample types (blood, nasal/oral swab, etc.). The methods, kits, and devices described herein are easily deployable in the field (airport screenings, borders, resource poor areas) so that potentially infected people will not need to go to hospitals and clinics where non-infected patients, vulnerable persons, and highly trained, urgently needed medical people may be. Hence, testing can be isolated from facilities needed for treatment of vulnerable populations and from trained personnel needed for urgent and complex medical procedures.
CRISPR-Casl3 is a viable alternative to conventional methods of detecting and quantifying RNA by RT-PCR. The advantages of using CRISPR-Casl3 can be leveraged for RSV diagnostics. The Cast 3 protein targets RNA directly, and it can be programmed with crRNAs to provide a platform for specific RNA sensing. By coupling it to an RNA-based reporter, the collateral or non-specific RNase activity of the Casl3 protein can be harnessed for RS V detection.
In 2017 and 2018, the laboratory of Dr. Feng Zhang reported a Casl3-based detection system that reached attomolar and zeptomolar sensitivity in detecting Zika virus, but it included an additional reverse transcription step for isothermal amplification of Zika virus cDNA, which was ultimately back-transcribed into RNA for RNA-based detection, a method referred to as SHERLOCK (Specific High Sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter UnLOCKing) (Gootenberg et al. Science 356(6336):438-42 (2017); Gootenberg et al. Science 360(6387): 439-44 (2018)).
Although this method improved the sensitivity of Casl3, it introduced two unwanted steps involving reverse transcription and in vitro transcription, which minimizes its potential as a field- deployable and point-of-care device.
The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for diagnosing virus infections, such as RSV infections, quantifying RNA concentrations, such as RSV RNA concentrations, and identifying the presence of different virus subtypes and/or mutations, such as RSV subtypes and/or mutations.
In some cases, the methods can be performed in a single tube, for example, the same tube used for collection and RNA extraction. This method provides a single step point of care diagnostic method. In other cases, the methods can be performed in a two-chamber system. For example, the collection swab containing a biological sample can be directly inserted into chamber one of such a two chamber system. After agitation, removal of the swab, and lysis of biological materials in the sample, the division between the two chambers can be broken or removed, and the contents of the first chamber can be allowed to flow into the second chamber. The second chamber can contain the Casl3 protein, the selected crRNA(s), and the reporter RNA so that the assay for RSV can be performed.
Chamber one can contain a buffer that would facilitate lysis of the viral particles and release of genomic material. Examples of lysis buffers that can be used include, but are not limited to PBS, commercial lysis buffers such as Qiagen RLT+ buffer or Quick Extract, DNA/RNA Shield, various concentrations of detergents such as Triton X-I00, Tween 20, NP-40, or Oleth-8, or combinations of such reagents.
Following agitation and subsequent removal of the swab, the chamber may be briefly (e.g., 2-5 mins) heated (e.g., 55 °C or 95 °C) to further facilitate lysis. Then, the division between the two chambers would be broken or removed, and the nasal extract buffer would be allowed to flow into and reconstitute the second chamber, which would contain the lyophilized reagents for the Casl3 assay (Casl3 RNPs and reporter RNA molecules).
Use of such assay tubes can provide single step point of care diagnostic methods and devices.
The methods, devices and compositions described herein for diagnosing RSV infection can involve incubating a mixture having a sample suspected of containing RSV RNA, a Cast 3 protein, at least one CRISPR RNA (crRNA), and a reporter RNA for a period of time to form reporter RNA cleavage products that may be present in the mixture and detecting a level of any such reporter RNA cleavage products with a detector. The detector can be a fluorescence detector
such as a short quenched-fluorescent RNA detector, or Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) detector.
Exemplary Reporters
A single type of reporter RNA can be used. The reporter RNA can be configured so that upon cleavage by the Casl3 protein, a detectable signal occurs. For example, the reporter RNA can have a fluorophore at one location (e.g.. one end) and a quencher at another location (e.g., the other end). In another example, the reporter RNA can have an electrochemical moiety (e.g., ferrocene, or dye), which upon cleavage by a Cast 3 protein can provide electron transfer to a redox probe or transducer. In another example, the reporter RNA can have a reporter dye, so that upon cleavage of the reporter RNA the reporter dye is detected by a detector (e.g., spectrophotometer). In some cases, one end of the reporter RNA can be bonded to a solid surface. For example, a reporter RNA can be configured as a cantilever, which upon cleavage releases a signal. However, in other cases, a signal may be improved by use of an unattached reporter RNA (e.g.. not covalently bond to a solid surface). A surface of the assay vessel or the assay material can have a detector for sensing release of the signal. The signal can be or can include a light signal (e.g., fluorescence or a detectable dye), an electronic signal, an electrochemical signal, an electrostatic signal, a steric signal, a van der Waals interaction signal, a hydration signal, a Resonant frequency shift signal, or a combination thereof.
The reporter RNA can, for example, be at least one quenched-fluorescent RNA reporter. Such quenched-fluorescent RNA reporter can optimize fluorescence detection. The quenched- fluorescent RNA reporters include an RNA oligonucleotide with both a fluorophore and a quencher of the fluorophore. The quencher decreases or eliminates the fluorescence of the fluorophore. When the Casl3 protein cleaves the RNA reporter, the fluorophore is separated from the associated quencher, such that a fluorescence signal becomes detectable.
One example of such a fluorophore quencher-labelled RNA reporter is the RNaseAlert (IDT). RNaseAlert was developed to detect RNase contaminations in a laboratory, and the substrate sequence is optimized for RNase A species. Another approach is to use lateral flow strips to detect a FAM-biotin reporter that, when cleaved by Cast 3, is detected by anti-FAM antibody- gold nanoparticle conjugates on the strip. Although this allows for instrument-free detection, it requires 90-120 minutes for readout, compared to under 30 minutes for most fluorescence-based assays (Gootenberg et al. Science. 360(6387):439-44 (April 2018)).
The sequence of the reporter RNA can be optimized for Cast 3 cleavage. Cast 3 preferentially exerts RNase cleavage activity at exposed uridine or adenosine sites, depending on the Cast 3 homolog. There are also secondary preferences for highly active homologs. The
inventors have tested 5-mer homopolymers for all ribonucleotides. Based on these preferences, various RNA oligonucleotides, labeled at the 5' and 3' ends of the oligonucleotides using an Iowa Black Quencher (IDT) and FAM fluorophore, and systematically test these sequences in the trans- ssRNA cleavage assay as described in the Examples. The best sequence can be moved into the mobile testing.
The fluorophores used for the fluorophore quencher-labelled RNA reporters can include Alexa 430, STAR 520, Brilliant Violet 510, Brilliant Violet 605, Brilliant Violet 610, or a combination thereof.
Exemplary Detection
Various mechanisms and devices can be employed to detect fluorescence. In some cases, the detector is a fluorescence detector, optionally a short quenched-fluorescent RNA detector, or Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) detector. For example, the fluorescence detector can detect fluorescence from fluorescence dyes such the Alexa 430, STAR 520, Brilliant Violet 510, Brilliant Violet 605, Brilliant Violet 610, or a combination thereof.
Some mechanisms or devices can be used to help eliminate background fluorescence. For example, reducing fluorescence from outside the detection focal plane can improve the signal-to- noise ratio, and consequently, the resolution of signal from the RNA cleavage products of interest. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) enables very low background fluorescence and single molecule sensitivity with a sufficiently sensitive camera. In some cases, mobile phones can be used for detection of virus, such as RSV.
In some cases, both Casl3 and reporter RNA can be tethered to a solid surface, upon addition of crRNA and RSV RNA samples, an activated Cast 3 can generate small fluorescent spots on the solid surface when imaged using Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF). To optimize this embodiment, the fluorophore side of reporter RNA is tethered to the solid surface as well so that cleavage permits the quencher portion of the reporter RNA to diffuse away. The Cast 3 protein can be tethered to the solid surface with a tether that is long enough to allow it to cleave multiple RNA reporter molecules. Counting the bright spots emerging on the solid surface the viral load can be quantified. Use of TIRF in the portable system facilitates detection and reduces background so that the RNA cleavage product signals can readily be detected.
In some cases, a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of the Cast 3 protein and the crRNA can be tethered to the solid surface. The crRNA would then not need to be added later. Instead, only the sample suspected of containing RSV RNA would need to be contacted with the solid surface.
In some cases, the methods described herein can include direct detection of the target RNA in the sample, without performing further sample preparation steps prior to detection, such as depleting a portion of the sample of protein, enzymes, lipids, nucleic acids, or a combination thereof or inactivating nucleases. However, the methods described herein can include depleting a portion of the sample prior to other step(s) or inhibiting a nuclease in the sample prior to the other step(s). For example, the sample can be depleted of protein, enzymes, lipids, nucleic acids, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the depleted portion of the sample is a human nucleic acid portion. However, RNA extraction of the sample is preferably not performed.
In some cases, the methods can include removing ribonuclease(s) (RNase) from the sample. In some cases, the RNase is removed from the sample using an RNase inhibitor and/or heat.
In some cases, the Casl3 protein and/or the crRNA can be lyophilized prior to incubation with the sample. In some cases, the Cast 3 protein, the crRNA, and/or the reporter RNA is lyophilized prior to incubation with the sample.
Exemplary Sample
In some embodiments, a biological sample is isolated from a patient. Non-limiting examples of suitable biological samples include saliva, sputum, mucus, nasophary ngeal samples, blood, serum, plasma, urine, aspirate, and biopsy samples. Thus, the term "sample" with respect to a patient can include RNA. Biological samples encompass saliva, sputum, mucus, and other liquid samples of biological origin, solid tissue samples such as a biopsy specimen or tissue cultures or cells derived therefrom and the progeny thereof. The definition also includes samples that have been manipulated in any way after their procurement, such as by treatment with reagents, washed, or enrichment for certain cell populations. The definition also includes sample that have been enriched for particular types of molecules, e.g., RNAs. The term "sample" encompasses biological samples such as a clinical sample such as saliva, sputum, mucus, nasopharyngeal samples, blood, plasma, serum, aspirate, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), and also includes tissue obtained by surgical resection, tissue obtained by biopsy, cells in culture, cell supernatants, cell lysates, tissue samples, organs, bone marrow, and the like. A "biological sample" includes biological fluids derived from cells and/or viruses (e g., from infected cells). A sample containing RNAs can be obtained from such cells (e.g., a cell lysate or other cell extract comprising RNAs). A sample can comprise, or can be obtained from, any of a variety' of bodily fluids (e.g., saliva, mucus, or sputum), cells, tissues, organs, or acellular fluids.
In some embodiments, the biological sample is isolated from a patient known to have or suspected to have an RSV infection. In other embodiments, the biological sample is isolated from
a patient not known have an RSV infection. In other embodiments, the biological sample is isolated from a patient known to have, or suspected to not have, an RSV infection. In other words, the methods and devices described herein can be used to identity subjects that have an RSV infection and to confirm that subjects do not have an RSV infection.
In some cases, it may not be known whether the biological sample contains RNA. However, such biological samples can still be tested using the methods described herein. For example, biological samples can be subjected to lysis, RNA extraction, incubation with Cast 3 and crRNAs, etc. whether or not the sample actually contains RNA, and whether or not a sample contains RSV RNA.
Pre-incubation of the crRNA and Cast 3 protein without the sample may be employed, so that the crRNA and the Casl3 protein can form a complex. In some cases, the reporter RNA can be present while the crRNA and the Cast 3 protein form a complex. However, in other cases, the reporter RNA can be added after the crRNA and the Casl3 protein already form a complex. Also, after formation of the crRNA/Cas!3 complex, the sample RNA can then be added. The sample RNA acts as an activating RNA. Once activated by the activating RNA, the crRNA/Casl3 complex becomes a non-specific RNase to produce RNA cleavage products that can be detected using a reporter RNA, for example, a short quenched-fluorescent RNA.
For example, the Cast 3 and crRNA are incubated for a period of time to form the inactive complex. In some cases, the Cast 3 and crRNA complexes are formed by incubating together at 37 °C for 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours (for example, 0.5 to 2 hours) to form an inactive complex. The inactive complex can then be incubated with the reporter RNA. One example of a reporter RNA is provided by the RNase Alert system. The sample RSV RNA can be a ssRNA activator. The Casl3/crRNA with the RSV RNA sample becomes an activated complex that cleaves in cis and trans. When cleaving in cis, for example, the activated complex can cleave RSV RNA. When cleaving in trans, the activated complex can cleave the reporter RNA, thereby releasing a signal such as the fluorophore from the reporter RNA.
CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA)
A CRISPR guide RNA system can be adapted for use in the methods and compositions described herein. The guide RNAs can include: a CRISPR RNA (crRNA or spacer), which is a 17-20 nucleotide sequence complementary to the target DNA, and a trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA or stem) that is a binding scaffold for the Cas nuclease. In some cases, the tw o RNAs are fused to make a single guide RNA (sgRNA). The tracrRNA forms a stem loop that is recognized and bound by the Cas nuclease. The term '‘guide RNA" as used herein refers to either a single guide RNA (sgRNA) or a crRNA (spacer). The CRISPR technique is generally described,
for example, by Mali et al. Science 339:823-6 (2013); which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
In some cases, the at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) has a sequence with at least 95% sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOs: 1-6, 10-199, 201-206, or 210-399, shown below. In some cases, at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) has a sequence such as any of SEQ ID NOs: 1-6, 10-199. 201-206. or 210-399, or a nucleotide sequence with at least 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 87%, 89%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 97%, 98% or 99% nucleic acid sequence identity thereto, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the sample can be incubated with one or two or more crRNAs. In some cases, the at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) include a targeting sequence with at least 80% sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOs: 11-6, 10-199, 201-206. or 210-399, shown below. In some cases, at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) include a targeting sequence such as any of SEQ ID NOs: 10-99 or 100-190, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the sample can be incubated with one or two or more crRNAs. For example, the sample can be incubated with at least two, or at least three, or at least four, or at least five, or at least six, or at least seven, or at least eight, or at least nine, or at least nine, or at least ten, or more crRNAs. In some cases, the at least one crRNA has at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 98%, or more sequence identity to any SEQ ID NOs: 1-6, 10-199, 201-206, or 210-399. In some cases, the targeting sequence in at least one crRNA has at least about 70%. about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 98%, or more sequence identity to any SEQ ID NO:10-99 or 100-190.
In one example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 or more crRNAs specific for one or more viruses are employed in a method to detect viruses such as RSV in a physiological sample.
In various examples of crRNA(s) that can be used for detection of RSV B, the crRNA(s) can include those with SEQ ID NOs: 100-199 or 300-389, or a nucleotide sequence with at least 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 87%, 89%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 97%, 98% or 99% nucleic acid sequence identity thereto, or a combination thereof. In some cases. SEQ ID NOs: 191, 192, 196 or 199 can be combined to improve detection of RSV B.
In various examples of crRNA(s) that can be used for detection of RSV A, the crRNA(s) can include those with SEQ ID NOs: 1-6, 10-99, 201-206 or 210-299, or a nucleotide sequence with at least 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 87%, 89%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 97%, 98% or 99% nucleic acid sequence identity thereto, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the crRNA(s) can include those with SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4 or 6.
The amount of reporter RNA cleavage product detected is directly correlated with the amount of the target viral RNA. In some cases, the target viral RNA cleavage product concentration can be quantified or determined by use of a standard curve of the reporter RNA cleavage product(s).
At least one crRNA can bind to a region in any of the eight single-stranded RNAs of the RSV RNA genome. In some cases, the region is a single stranded region of the RSV RNA genome. In other cases, the region is a secondary structure in regions of the RSV genome with low viral ribonucleoprotein binding.
In some cases, the crRNAs can include additional sequences such as spacer sequences.
As illustrated herein, for detection of RSV B. crRNAs with a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 191, 192, 196 or 199 exhibit better signals than crRNAs with a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 193, 194, 195, 197 or 198. Moreover, the combination of the crRNAs of SEQ ID NOs: 191, 192, 196 and 199 improves detection of RSV B over using crRNAs of SEQ ID NOs: 191, 192, 196 or 199 alone.
To detect RSV A, crRNAs with a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4, or 6 exhibit better signals than crRNAs with a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3 or 5. Moreover, the combination of the crRNAs of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4, and 6 improves detection of RSV A over using the crRNAs of SEQ ID NOs: SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4, or 6 alone.
Exemplary RSV Sequences
The crRNAs may be employed to detect any RSV A or RSV B genome. Exemplary RSV A and RSV B genomes include but not limited to human respiratory' syncytial virus isolate B05 (gi|562744952|gb|KF 640637.1) having

The RSV genome is RNA. Hence, in some cases the RSV genome can be a copy of the foregoing DNA sequence, where the thymine (T) residues are uracil (U) residues. In some cases, the RSV viral genome can be a complement of the foregoing DNA sequence.
Exemplary Casl3 proteins
Any suitable CRISPR-associated RNA-targeting endonuclease, such as a Casl3 protein variant, can be used in the methods and compositions described herein. The Cast 3 protein can complex with at least one CRISPR guide RNA (crRNA) to at least one reporter RNA for a period of time sufficient to form at least one RNA cleavage product.
The Cast 3 protein can, for example, be a Cas 13a protein, Cas 13b protein, or a combination thereof. Casl3 contains two Higher Eukary otes and Prokaryotes Nucleotide-binding (HEPN) domains for RNA cleavage, consistent with known roles for HEPN domains in other proteins. In some embodiments, the Cas 13 proteins can have sequence variation and/or be from other organisms. For example, the Casl3 proteins can have at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% sequence identity' to any of the Cas 13 sequences disclosed herein or to a Cas 13 in the following bacteria: Leptotrichia wadei, Leptotrichia buccalis, Rhodobacter capsulatus, Herbinix hemicellulosilytica. Leptotrichia buccalis (Lbu), Listeria seeligeri, Paludibacter propionicigen.es. Lachnospiraceae bacterium, [Eubacterium] rectale, Listeria newyorkensis, Clostridium aminophilum, and/or Leptotrichia shahii.
For example. ^Leptotrichia wadei Casl3a endonuclease that can be used has the following sequence (SEQ ID NO: 500; NCBI accession no. WP_036059678. 1).

(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems
Genomic editing has been performed by using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems (see e.g., Marraffini and Sontheimer. Nature Reviews Genetics 11: 181-190 (2010); Sorek et al. Nature Reviews Microbiology 2008 6: 181-6; Karginov and Hannon. Mol Cell 2010 1 :7-19; Hale et al. Mol Cell 2010:45:292-302; Jinek et al. Science 2012 337:815-820; Bikard and Marraffini Curr Opin Immunol 2012 24: 15-20; Bikard et al. Cell Host & Microbe 2012 12: 177-186; all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties).
However, a CRISPR guide RNA system can be adapted for use in the methods and compositions described herein. Two RNAs can be used in CRISPR genomic editing systems: a CRISPR RNA (crRNA), which is a 17-20 nucleotide sequence complementary to the target RNA, and a trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) that is a binding scaffold for the Cas nuclease. In some cases the two RNAs are fused to make a single guide RNA (sgRNA). The tracrRNA forms a stem loop that is recognized and bound by the cas nuclease. The crRNA typically has shorter sequence than the tracrRNA. The term “guide RNA” as used herein refers to either a single guide RNA (sgRNA) or a crRNA. The CRISPR technique is generally described, for example, by Mali et al. Science 339:823-6 (2013); which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety7.
The guide RNA system used herein is encoded within or adjacent to the ncRNA coding region of the expression cassettes. Hence, upon transcription of the guide RNA, it can target a Cas enzyme to the desired location in the genome, where it can cleave the genomic RNA for generation of a genomic modification.
There are several types of CRISPR systems, some of which are summarized in the chart below.
A "guide RNA” or “gRNA” as provided herein refers to a ribonucleotide sequence capable of binding a cas nuclease, thereby forming ribonucleoprotein complex. The gRNA includes a nucleotide sequence complementary to a target site (e.g., near or at a genomic site to be edited). In some cases, the guide RNA includes one or more RNA molecules. TracrRNAs can be used to facilitate assembly of a ribonucleoprotein complex that includes the gRNA together with the tracrRNA and a cas nuclease. A complementary nucleotide sequence of the guide RNA can mediate binding of the ribonucleoprotein complex to the target site thereby providing the sequence specificity of the ribonucleoprotein complex. Thus, the guide RNA includes a sequence that is complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence such that the guide RNA binds a target nucleic acid sequence.
In some cases, the complement of the guide RNA includes a sequence having a sequence identity of about 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% to a target nucleic acid (e.g., a target viral RNA sequence). In some cases, the guide RNA includes a sequence having sequence identity of about 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% to the target nucleic acid sequence. In some cases, the guide RNA or complement thereof, includes a sequence having a sequence identity of at least
about 90%, 95%, or 100% to a target viral RNA sequence. In some cases, segment bound by a guide RNA within the target nucleic acid is about or at least about 10, 15, 20, 25, or more nucleotides in length.
The guide RNA is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid, although in some cases it may form some double-stranded regions by folding onto itself. In some cases, the guide RNA is about 10, 20. 30. 40. 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 or more nucleic acid residues in length. In some cases, the guide RNA is from about 10 to about 30 nucleic acid residues in length. In some cases, the guide RNA is about 20 nucleic acid residues in length. For example, the length of the guide RNA can be at least about 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. 31. 32. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46. 47. 48. 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 or more nucleotides or residues in length. In some cases, the guide RNA is from 5 to 50, 10 to 50, 15 to 50, 20 to 50, 25 to 50, 30 to 50, 35 to 50, 40 to 50, 45 to 50, 5 to 75, 10 to 75, 15 to 75, 20 to 75, 25 to 75, 30 to 75, 35 to 75, 40 to 75, 45 to 75, 50 to 75, 55 to 75, 60 to 75, 65 to 75, 70 to 75, 5 to 100, 10 to 100, 15 to 100, 20 to 100, 25 to 100, 30 to 100, 35 to 100, 40 to 100, 45 to 100, 50 to 100, 55 to 100, 60 to 100, 65 to 100, 70 to 100, 75 to 100, 80 to 100, 85 to 100, 90 to 100, 95 to 100, or more nucleotides or residues in length. In some cases, the guide RNA is from 10 to 15, 10 to 20, 10 to 30. 10 to 40. or 10 to 50 residues in length.
Definitions
The term "about" as used herein when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a length, and the like, is meant to encompass variations of ±20% or ±10%, more preferably ±5%, even more preferably ±1%, and still more preferably ±0.1% from the specified value.
"Recombinant" as used herein to describe a nucleic acid molecule means a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, bacterial, viral, semisynthetic, or synthetic origin which, by virtue of its origin or manipulation, is not associated with all or a portion of the polynucleotide with which it is associated in nature.
The term "recombinant" as used with respect to a protein or polypeptide means a polypeptide produced by expression of a recombinant polynucleotide. In general, the polynucleotide of interest is cloned and then expressed in transformed organisms, for example, as described herein. The host organism expresses the foreign nucleic acids to produce the RNA, RT- DNA, or protein under expression conditions.
As used herein, a "cell" refers to any type of cell isolated from a prokaryotic, eukaryotic, or archaeon organism, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, plants, and animals, including
cells from tissues, organs, and biopsies, as well as recombinant cells, cells from cell lines cultured in vitro, and cellular fragments, cell components, or organelles comprising nucleic acids. The term also encompasses artificial cells, such as nanoparticles, liposomes, polymersomes, or microcapsules encapsulating nucleic acids. The methods described herein can be performed, for example, on a sample comprising a single cell or a population of cells. The term also includes genetically modified cells.
"Recombinant host cells," "host cells", "cells", "cell lines", "cell cultures", and other such terms denoting microorganisms or higher eukaryotic cell lines cultured as unicellular entities refer to cells which can be, or have been, used as recipients for recombinant vector or other transferred DNA, and include the original progeny of the original cell which has been transfected.
A "coding sequence" or a sequence which "encodes" a selected polypeptide or a selected RNA, is a nucleic acid molecule which is transcribed (in the case of DNA templates) into RNA and/or translated (in the case of mRNA) into a polypeptide in vivo when placed under the control of appropriate regulatory sequences (or "control elements"). The boundaries of the coding sequence can be determined by a start codon at the 5' (amino) terminus and a translation stop codon at the 3' (carboxy) terminus. A coding sequence can include, but is not limited to, ncRNAs, tracrRNAs, ncRNAs modified to include heterologous sequences, cDNA from viral, prokaryotic or eukaryotic ncRNA, mRNA, viral or prokaryotic DNA. and even synthetic DNA sequences. A transcription termination sequence may be located 3' to the coding sequence.
Typical "control elements," include, but are not limited to, transcription promoters, transcription enhancer elements, transcription termination signals, polyadenylation sequences (located 3' to the translation stop codon), sequences for optimization of initiation of translation (located 5’ to the coding sequence), and translation termination sequences.
"Operably linked" refers to an arrangement of elements wherein the components so described are configured so as to perform their usual function. Thus, a given promoter operably linked to a coding sequence is capable of effecting the expression of the coding sequence when the proper polymerases are present. The promoter need not be contiguous with the coding sequence, so long as it functions to direct the expression thereof. Thus, for example, intervening untranslated yet transcribed sequences can be present between the promoter sequence and the coding sequence, and the promoter sequence can still be considered "operably linked" to the coding sequence.
"Encoded by" refers to a nucleic acid sequence which codes for a polypeptide or RNA sequence. For example, the polypeptide sequence or a portion thereof contains an amino acid sequence of at least 3 to 5 amino acids, more preferably at least 8 to 10 amino acids, and even
more preferably at least 15 to 20 amino acids from a polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid sequence. The RNA sequence or a portion thereof contains a nucleotide sequence of at least 3 to 5 nucleotides, more preferably at least 8 to 10 nucleotides, and even more preferably at least 15 to 20 nucleotides.
The terms "isolated." "purified." or "biologically pure" refer to material that is free to varying degrees from components which normally accompany it as found in its native state. "Isolate" denotes a degree of separation from original source or surroundings. "Purify" denotes a degree of separation that is higher than isolation. A "purified" or "biologically pure" protein is sufficiently free of other materials such that any impurities do not materially affect the biological properties of the protein, DNA, or RNA or cause other adverse consequences. That is, a nucleic acid or peptide of this invention is purified if it is substantially free of cellular material, viral material, or culture medium when obtained from nature or when produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or free from chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. Purity and homogeneity are typically determined using analytical chemistry techniques, for example, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high-performance liquid chromatography. The term "purified" can denote that a nucleic acid or protein gives rise to essentially one band in an electrophoretic gel. For a protein that can be subjected to modifications, for example, phosphorylation or glycosylation, different modifications may give rise to different isolated proteins, which can be separately purified.
"Substantially purified" generally refers to isolation of a substance (nucleic acid, compound, polynucleotide, protein, polypeptide, peptide composition) such that the substance comprises the majority percent of the sample in which it resides. Typically, in a sample, a substantially purified component comprises 50%, or 80%-85%, or 90-95% of the sample. Techniques for purifying polynucleotides and polypeptides of interest are well-known in the art and include, for example, ion-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography and sedimentation according to densify.
A "vector" is capable of transferring nucleic acid sequences to target cells (e.g., viral vectors, non-viral vectors, particulate carriers, and liposomes). Typically, "vector construct." "expression vector," and "gene transfer vector," mean any nucleic acid construct capable of directing the expression of a nucleic acid of interest and which can transfer nucleic acid sequences to target cells. Thus, the term includes cloning and expression vehicles, as well as viral vectors.
"Expression" refers to detectable production of a gene product by a cell. The gene product may be a transcription product (i.e., RNA), which may be referred to as "gene expression", or the
gene product may be a translation product of the transcription product (i.e., a protein), depending on the context.
"Mammalian cell" refers to any cell derived from a mammalian subject suitable for transfection with vector systems comprising, as described herein. The cell may be xenogeneic, autologous, or allogeneic. The cell can be a primary’ cell obtained directly from a mammalian subject. The cell may also be a cell derived from the culture and expansion of a cell obtained from a mammalian subject. Immortalized cells are also included within this definition. In some embodiments, the cell has been genetically engineered to express a recombinant protein and/or nucleic acid.
The term "subject" includes animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates, including, without limitation, invertebrates such as arthropods, mollusks, annelids, and cnidarians; and vertebrates such as amphibians, including frogs, salamanders, and caecillians; reptiles, including lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and alligators; fish; mammals, including human and non-human mammals such as non-human primates, including chimpanzees and other apes and monkey species; laboratory animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and chinchillas; domestic animals such as dogs and cats; farm animals such as sheep, goats, pigs, horses and cows; and birds such as domestic, wild and game birds, including chickens, turkeys and other gallinaceous birds, ducks, geese, and the like. In some cases, the disclosed methods find use in experimental animals, in veterinary application, and in the development of animal models for disease, including, but not limited to, rodents including mice, rats, and hamsters; primates, and transgenic animals.
As used herein, the terms "treatment," "treating." and the like, refer to obtaining a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or symptom thereof and/or may be therapeutic in terms of a partial or complete cure for a disease and/or adverse effect attributable to the disease. "Treatment," as used herein, covers any treatment of a disease in a mammal, particularly in a human, and includes: (a) preventing the disease from occurring in a subject which may be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting its development; and (c) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease.
A “therapeutically effective amount” or “efficacious amount” refers to the amount of a compound that, when administered to a mammal or other subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound or the cell, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the subject to be treated.
Treatment includes the administration of antiviral, such as protease inhibitors (darunavir, atazanavir, and ritonavir), viral DNA polymerase inhibitors (acyclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, and tenofovir), and/or an integrase inhibitor (raltegravir). Treatment also includes treatment for RSV, such as monoclonal antibodies (e.g., palivizumab) and/or ribavirin. Treatment can also include oxygen supplementation (e.g., oxygen given through a mask), suctioning of mucus, bronchodilator agents, and/or mechanical ventilation.
"Gene transfer" or "gene delivery" refers to methods or systems for reliably inserting DNA or RNA of interest into a host cell. Such methods can result in transient expression of nonintegrated transferred DNA, extrachromosomal replication and expression of transferred replicons (e.g.. episomes). or integration of transferred genetic material into the genomic DNA of host cells. Gene delivery expression vectors include, but are not limited to, vectors derived from bacterial plasmid vectors, viral vectors, non-viral vectors, alphaviruses, pox viruses and vaccinia viruses.
The term "derived from" is used herein to identify the original source of a molecule but is not meant to limit the method by which the molecule is made which can be, for example, by chemical synthesis or recombinant means.
A polynucleotide or nucleic acid "derived from" a designated sequence refers to a polynucleotide or nucleic acid that includes a contiguous sequence of approximately at least about 6 nucleotides, preferably at least about 8 nucleotides, more preferably at least about 10-12 nucleotides, and even more preferably at least about 15-20 nucleotides corresponding, i.e., identical or complementary to, a region of the designated nucleotide sequence. The derived polynucleotide will not necessarily be derived physically from the nucleotide sequence of interest, but may be generated in any manner, including, but not limited to, chemical synthesis, replication, reverse transcription or transcription, which is based on the information provided by the sequence of bases in the region(s) from which the polynucleotide is derived. As such, it may represent either a sense or an antisense orientation of the original polynucleotide.
The terms "hybridize’' and "hybridization" refer to the formation of complexes between nucleotide sequences which are sufficiently complementary to form complexes via Watson-Crick base pairing.
The term "homologous region" refers to a region of a nucleic acid with homology to another nucleic acid region. Thus, whether a "homologous region" is present in a nucleic acid molecule is determined with reference to another nucleic acid region in the same or a different molecule. Further, since a nucleic acid is often double-stranded, the term "homologous, region." as used herein, refers to the ability of nucleic acid molecules to hybridize to each other. For example, a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule can have two homologous regions which are
capable of hybridizing to each other. Thus, the term "homologous region" includes nucleic acid segments with complementary sequences. Homologous regions may vary in length but will typically be between 4 and 500 nucleotides (e.g., from about 4 to about 40, from about 40 to about 80, from about 80 to about 120, from about 120 to about 160, from about 160 to about 200, from about 200 to about 240, from about 240 to about 280, from about 280 to about 320, from about 320 to about 360, from about 360 to about 400. from about 400 to about 440, etc.).
As used herein, the terms "complementary" or "complementarity" refers to polynucleotides that are able to form base pairs with one another. Base pairs are typically formed by hydrogen bonds between nucleotide units in an anti-parallel orientation between polynucleotide strands. Complementary polynucleotide strands can base pair in a Watson-Crick manner (e.g., A to T, A to U, C to G), or in any other manner that allows for the formation of duplexes. As persons skilled in the art are aware, when using RNA as opposed to DNA, uracil (U) rather than thymine (T) is the base that is considered to be complementary to adenosine. However, when uracil is denoted in the context of the present invention, the ability’ to substitute a thymine is implied, unless otherwise stated. "Complementarity" may exist between two RNA strands, two DNA strands, or between an RNA strand and a DNA strand. It is generally understood that two or more polynucleotides may be "complementary" and able to form a duplex despite having less than perfect or less than 100% complementarity. Two sequences are "perfectly complementary" or " 100% complementary" if at least a contiguous portion of each polynucleotide sequence, comprising a region of complementarity, perfectly base pairs with the other polynucleotide without any mismatches or interruptions within such region. Two or more sequences are considered "perfectly complementary" or "100% complementary" even if either or both polynucleotides contain additional non-complementary sequences as long as the contiguous region of complementarity within each polynucleotide is able to perfectly hybridize with the other. "Less than perfect" complementarity refers to situations where less than all of the contiguous nucleotides within such region of complementarity’ are able to base pair with each other. Determining the percentage of complementarity between two polynucleotide sequences is a matter of ordinary skill in the art.
The term "donor polynucleotide" or ’‘donor DNA” refers to a nucleic acid or polynucleotide that provides a nucleotide sequence of an intended edit to be integrated into the genome at a target locus by HDR or recombineering.
A "target site" or "target sequence" is the nucleic acid sequence recognized (i.e., sufficiently complementary for hybridization) by a guide RNA (gRNA) or a homology arm of a donor polynucleotide (donor DNA). The target site may be allele-specific (e.g., a major or minor
allele). For example, a target site can be a genomic site that is intended to be modified such as by insertion of one or more nucleotides, replacement of one or more nucleotides, deletion of one or more nucleotides, or a combination thereof.
In general, "a CRISPR system" refers collectively to transcripts and other elements involved in the expression of or directing the activity of CRISPR-associated ("Cas") genes, including sequences encoding a Cas gene, and a CRISPR array nucleic acid sequence including a leader sequence and at least one repeat sequence. In some embodiments, one or more elements of a CRISPR system are derived from a type I, type II, or type III CRISPR system. Casl and Cas2 are found in all three types of CRISPR-Cas systems, and they are involved in spacer acquisition. In the I-E system of E. coli, Casl and Cas2 form a complex where a Cas2 dimer bridges two Casl dimers. In this complex Cas2 performs anon-enzymatic scaffolding role, binding double-stranded fragments of invading DNA, while Casl binds the single-stranded flanks of the DNA and catalyzes their integration into CRISPR array s.
In some embodiments, one or more elements of a CRISPR system are derived from a particular organism comprising an endogenous CRISPR system, such as Streptococcus pyogenes . In general, a CRISPR system can be characterized by elements that promote the formation of a CRISPR complex at the site of a target sequence (also referred to as a protospacer in the context of an endogenous CRISPR system).
In certain embodiments, the disclosure provides protospacers that are adjacent to short (3 - 5 bp) DNA sequences termed protospacer adjacent motifs (PAM). The PAMs are important for type I and type II systems during acquisition. In type I and type II systems, protospacers are excised at positions adjacent to a PAM sequence, with the other end of the spacer is cut using a ruler mechanism, thus maintaining the regularity of the spacer size in the CRISPR array. The conservation of the PAM sequence differs between CRISPR-Cas systems and may be evolutionarily linked to Casl and the leader sequence.
In some embodiments, a regulatory element is operably linked to one or more elements of a CRISPR system so as to drive expression of the one or more elements of the CRISPR system. In general. CRISPRs (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), also known as SPIDRs (SPacer Interspersed Direct Repeats), constitute a family of DNA loci that are usually specific to a particular bacterial species. The CRISPR locus comprises a distinct class of interspersed short sequence repeats (SSRs) that were recognized in E. coli (Ishino et al, J. BacterioL. 169:5429-5433 (1987); and Nakata et al., J. BacterioL, 171 :3553-3556 (1989)), and associated genes. Similar interspersed SSRs have been identified in Haloferax mechterranei. Streptococcus pyogenes, Anabaena, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (See, Groenen et al., Mol.
Microbiol., 10: 1057-1065 (1993); Hoe el al., Emerg. Infect. Dis.. 5:254-263 (1999); Masepohl et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1307:26-30 (1996); and Mojica et al, Mol. Microbiol, 17:85-93 (1995)). The CRISPR loci typically differ from other SSRs by the structure of the repeats, which have been termed short regularly spaced repeats (SRSRs) (Janssen et al, OMICS J. Integ. Biol., 6:23-33 (2002); and Mojica et al, Mol. Microbiol., 36:244-246 (2000)). In general, the repeats are short elements that occur in clusters that are regularly spaced by unique intervening sequences with a substantially constant length (Mojica et al., (2000), supra). Although the repeat sequences are highly conserved between strains, the number of interspersed repeats and the sequences of the spacer regions ty pically differ from strain to strain (van Embden et al., J. Bacteriol., 182:2393- 2401 (2000)). CRISPR loci have been identified in more than 40 prokaryotes (See e.g., Jansen et al, Mol. Microbiol., 43: 1565-1575 (2002); and Mojica et al, (2005)) including, but not limited to Aeropyrum, Pyrobaculum, Sulfolobus, Archaeoglobus, Halocarcula, Methanobacteriumn, Methanococcus , Methanosarcina, Methanopyrus, Pyrococcus, Picrophilus, Thernioplasnia, Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Streptomyces, Aquifrx, Porphvromonas, Chlorobium, Thermus, Bacillus, Listeria, Staphylococcus, Clostridium, Thermoanaerobacter, Mycoplasma, Fusobacterium, Azarcus, Chromobacterium, Neisseria, Nitrosomonas, Desulfovibrio, Geobacter, Myrococcus, Campylobacter, Wolinella, Acinetobacter, Erwinia, Escherichia, Legionella, Methylococcus, Pasteurella. Photobacterium, Salmonella, Xanthomonas, Yersinia, Treponema, and Thermotoga.
In some embodiments, an enzyme coding sequence encoding a CRISPR enzyme (e.g., cas9) is codon optimized for expression in particular cells, such as eukaryotic cells. The eukaryotic cells may be those of or derived from a particular organism, such as a mammal, including but not limited to human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog. or non-human primate. In general, codon optimization refers to a process of modifying a nucleic acid sequence for enhanced expression in the host cells of interest by replacing at least one codon (e.g. about one or more than about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, or more codons) of the native sequence with codons that are more frequently or most frequently used in the genes of that host cell while maintaining the native amino acid sequence. Various species exhibit particular bias for certain codons of a particular amino acid. Codon bias (differences in codon usage between organisms) often correlates with the efficiency of translation of messenger RNA (mRNA), which is in turn believed to be dependent on, among other things, the properties of the codons being translated and the availability of particular transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. The predominance of selected tRNAs in a cell is generally a reflection of the codons used most frequently in peptide synthesis. Accordingly, genes can be tailored for optimal gene expression in a given organism based on codon optimization. Codon usage tables are readily
available, for example, at the "Codon Usage Database", and these tables can be adapted in a number of ways. See Nakamura, Y., et al. "Codon usage tabulated from the international DNA sequence databases: status for the year 2000" Nucl. Acids Res. 28:292 (2000). Computer algorithms for codon optimizing a particular sequence for expression in a particular host cell are also available, such as Gene Forge (Aptagen; Jacobus, Pa.), are also available. In some embodiments, one or more codons (e.g., 1, 2, 3. 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, or more, or all codons) in a sequence encoding a CRISPR enzyme correspond to the most frequently used codon for a particular amino acid.
"Administering" a nucleic acid, such as an expression cassette, comprises transducing, transfecting, electroporating, translocating, fusing, phagocytosing, shooting or ballistic methods, etc., i.e., any means by which a nucleic acid can be transported across a cell membrane.

Example 6
Multiplexing CRISPRCasl3a for an at-home viral diagnostic
A) CRISPR-Casl3a reactions were performed to evaluate the on-target activity of the designed and synthesized crRNAs targeting RSV A and RSV B. Specifically, each crRNA was complexed with a Casl3a, and the complex was then combined with either target RNA (synthetic full length viral RNA) or RNP control (no target RNA) (n=3 or 4 technical replicates per sample). The dynamics of the fluorescence emitted in the reaction w as monitored by measuring it on a
Tecan plate reader over 2 hours. The slope of the signal was calculated, as well as the slope ratio (target divided by control) to identify crRNAs hits with high signal. Signal slope and slope ratios are represented in Figures 12A-12B and 13A-13B.
On-target activity screen for was performed for crRNAs targeting RSV A and B viruses. The screen results are summarized in the graphs in Figures 12 and 13. A set of top hits were identified for validation of their on-target activity and evaluation of their off-target activity. The hits (~30 crRNAs with high on-target activity for RSV A and ~40 crRNAs with high on-target activity for RSV B) are highlighted for each of the viruses in Figures 12A-12B and 13A-13B.
B) CRISPR-Casl3a reactions were performed to evaluate the off-target activity of crRNA hits. Specifically, each crRNA was complexed with Casl3a and the complex was combined with either off-target RNA (extracted from cells), nasal swabs (n=3 to 7 individual swab samples) or control (no target RNA or nasal swab) (n=3 or 4 technical replicates per reaction). The dynamics of the fluorescence emitted in the reaction was monitored by measuring it on a Tecan plate reader over 2 hours. The slope of the signal as well as the slope ratio (target divided by control) was calculated to identify crRNAs hits with high off-target signal. Signal slope ratios and the screen results are represented/summarized in the graphs in Figures 14 -17. Off-target activity tests, using cell line RNA and nasal swabs, were completed for crRNAs hits for RSV A, and RSV B viruses. The screen results are summarized in the graphs in Figure 14-17.
C) Off-target activity tests, using non-target viral RNA, for crRNAs hits for influenza B were performed. CRISPR-Casl3a reactions were performed to evaluate the off-target activity’ of crRNA hits. Specifically, each crRNA was complexed with Cast 3a and the complex was combined with either off-target RNA (viral RNA from viruses that are not targeted) or control (no target RNA) (n=3 technical replicates per reaction). The dynamics of the fluorescence emitted in the reaction was monitored by measuring it on a Tecan plate reader over 2 hours. The slope of the signal as well as the slope ratio (target divided by control) was calculated to identify crRNAs hits with high off-target signal. Signal slope ratios are represented in the graphs in Figures 18 and 19.
D) Experiments to evaluate crRNA combinations for and RSV A were conducted. CR1SPR-Casl3a reactions to evaluate crRNA combinations were performed. Specifically, the indicated crRNAs were combined, complexed each combination with Cast 3a, and combined the complex with either on-target RNA (synthetic or extracted viral RNA from the target virus) or control (no target RNA) (n=3 technical replicates per reaction). The dynamics of the fluorescence emitted in the reaction were monitored by measuring it on a Tecan plate reader over 2 hours. The slope of the signal, as well as the slope ratio (target divided by control) was calculated to identify
crRNA combinations with the highest detection. Signal slope ratios are represented in the graphs in Figures 20 and 21.
E) crRNA combinations for RSV A and B viruses were evaluated.
CRISPR-Casl3a reactions to evaluate crRNA combinations were performed. Specifically, the indicated crRNAs were combined, complexed each combination with Cast 3a, and combined the complex with either on-target RNA (synthetic or extracted viral RNA from the target virus) or control (no target RNA) (n=3 technical replicates per reaction). The dynamics of the fluorescence emitted in the reaction were monitored by measuring it on a Tecan plate reader over 2 hours. The slope of the signal as well as the slope ratio (target divided by control) were calculated to identify crRNA combinations with the highest detection. Signal slope ratios are represented in the graphs in Figures 22 and 23. Most crRNAs have minimal off-target activity against non-targeted viruses.
F) CRISPR-Cas 13a reactions were performed to evaluate the LOD of virus plaque forming units (pfu, infectious particles) with crRNA combinations Specifically , the indicated crRNAs were combined, each combination complexed with Cast 3a, and combined the complex with either on- target virus (lysed with our lysis buffer) or control (no virus, lysis buffer only) (n=6 technical replicates per reaction). The dynamics of the fluorescence emitted in the reaction was monitored by measuring it on a Tecan plate reader over 2 hours. The slope of the signal and compare it to the control was calculated to identify crRNA combinations with significant detection of a given pfu input. Signal slope is represented in the graphs in Figures 24A-24B and 25A-25B, along with statistical analyses.
G) crRNA combinations were evaluated for RSV A and B viruses. In addition, an in-silico crRNA screen was performed to determine which crRNAs target which subtype or strain of RSV A and B viruses and to analyze off-targets of the crRNAs.
An inclusivity test was performed where published RSV A and B virus sequences were analyzed and compared to guide sequences to demonstrate that the assay design supports detection of all strains and subtypes (NCBI). Sequences for 1,309 complete genomes of RSV A and 807 complete genomes of RSV B deposited in NCBI Virus whose collection dates were between 2000 and 2021 were downloaded and analyzed. The percentage of genomes that contain an exact match to the guides are shown below, results by subtype are only shown for those subtypes that had at least 10 genomes in the database.
Further, microbial interference tests were performed where the genomes of all viruses, other respiratory pathogens and normal nasal flora organisms were analyzed to demonstrate less than 80% homology with guide target sequences. The number of hits w ere reported with different lowest-common ancestor (LCA) levels. If a guide is homologous to genomes from multiple
species, the LCA of those genomes was reported. However, if a guide is homologous exclusively to only one species, then the LCA of that guide is that species.
