At present, active tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis infection and nontuberculous mycobacterial infection all have positive tuberculosis results in the existing molecular diagnosis, and cause false positive results of the latent tuberculosis infection and nontuberculous mycobacteria. Since the three infection conditions of active tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis infection and nontuberculous mycobacterium infection are completely different in medication scheme, isolation time and treatment cost, erroneous or delayed diagnosis results will significantly affect the treatment effect and cause significant physical and economical stress to patients. In addition, the problems of high cost, insufficient specificity and sensitivity, expensive matched instruments and the like of the diagnosis technologies seriously obstruct the detection and diagnosis application process in the clinical line.
In view of the above, the invention discloses a nucleic acid aptamer, which comprises an aptamer nucleic acid and a blocking nucleic acid, wherein the aptamer nucleic acid is obtained by adding a modification section on the basis of a core aptamer nucleic acid, the sequence of the core aptamer nucleic acid is shown as SEQ ID No.1, and the aptamer nucleic acid and the blocking nucleic acid form the nucleic acid aptamer through hybridization, wherein the aptamer nucleic acid is shown as SEQ ID No.2, and the blocking nucleic acid is shown as SEQ ID No. 3.

For example, by substituting certain bases with others, the affinity and specificity of the first nucleic acid may be improved, thereby increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of the diagnosis. In addition, experimental data show that the application of the first nucleic acid formed by the change in the aptamer has remarkable advantages, and has important application prospects for detection and identification of the mycobacterium tuberculosis.

It should be noted that, at present, a scheme for co-screening the mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA nucleic acid aptamer by adding a short nucleic acid blocking strand (blocker) paired with an aptamer sequence has not been reported, because the technical difficulty of introducing the blocker to co-screen the mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA nucleic acid aptamer is to improve the specificity of screening and reduce false positive results caused by non-specific hybridization of the aptamer. The screening result can be judged by detecting the blocking device, compared with the traditional method, the method can improve screening accuracy and reliability, reduce interference sequences, improve screening efficiency, and save time and cost.

Mu.L), and has extremely high sensitivity.
The specificity measurement comprises the steps of taking enzyme-free sterile water as a detection template negative to the reproduction type mycobacterium tuberculosis, taking 1 ng/. Mu.L EC protein as a detection template positive to the reproduction type mycobacterium tuberculosis, separating escherichia coli culture filtrate which grows to OD value=0.6-0.8, separating cell culture filtrate which grows for 48 hours after in vitro passage of lung cancer human alveolar basal epithelial cells, separating H37Rv strain mycobacterium tuberculosis culture filtrate which grows to OD value=0.6-0.8, and carrying out isothermal amplification respectively.
The experimental results are shown as C in FIG. 6, and the nucleic acid bands with the sizes of 59 bp appear in lanes 2 and 8, so that the detection scheme related to the invention can be directly applied to in vitro detection and identification of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can only specifically detect the Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
④ Clinical sample validation
Collecting 13 parts of serum of healthy people as a negative reference of the mycobacterium tuberculosis and 13 parts of serum of GeneXpert positive people as a positive reference of the mycobacterium tuberculosis, centrifuging at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature, discarding the precipitate, taking 200 mu L of supernatant if macroscopic precipitation appears in the serum, then fully incubating all samples with the SEQ ID No.2-SEQ ID No.3 hybrid dimer at room temperature for 30 minutes sequentially, and then carrying out isothermal amplification to detect positive nucleic acid signals.
The detection results are shown in FIG. 7, wherein M: DNA LADDER DL-750, 1-13, and 1 to 13 parts of the isothermal amplification strips after incubation of the hybrid dimer of SEQ ID No.2-SEQ ID No.3 with serum samples of healthy people, and 14~26:SEQ ID No.2-SEQ ID No.3, and 1 to 13 parts of the isothermal amplification strips after incubation of the hybrid dimer with clinical serum samples identified as positive infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by GeneXpert, have significant differences (P < 0.0001), and the detection system of the EC protein of step ② in example 2 is implemented. (specific steps: taking 5-10. Mu.M of the hybrid dimer of SEQ ID No.2 and SEQ ID No.3, mixing and contacting thoroughly at room temperature for 1 hour, then taking 20. Mu.L of the mixture, 2. Mu.g of recombinase, 2. Mu.g of single-stranded binding protein, 5UBsu DNA polymerase, dissolving in sterile water, mixing all the components uniformly and putting into 38 ℃ rapidly, incubating for 60 minutes, and performing nucleic acid running observation result). The detection results are that 13 healthy clinical samples are negative, 13 detected GeneXpert positive samples are 11 positive and 2 negative, and the GeneXpert can only detect the mycobacterium tuberculosis nucleic acid and has interference of mycobacterium tuberculosis 'dead bacteria' nucleic acid fragments, so that the GeneXpert positive cannot completely represent the existence of reproductive type bound mycobacterium in the sample, the result of detecting healthy human serum by the scheme of the invention is the clinical negative of the mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 2 samples (18, 24) without the reproductive type mycobacterium tuberculosis are identified in the GeneXpert positive samples, and the MTB with reproductive capacity is required to be described. If the invention is identified as negative after practice, it is indicated that the sample is free of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As the non-reproductive MTB nucleic acid residue after death can cause the false positive of GeneXpert, the identification result of the implementation of the invention does not conflict with the detection result of GeneXpert, thus showing that the detection scheme related to the invention can be directly applied to in vitro detection and identification of reproductive mycobacterium tuberculosis, and can only specifically detect the reproductive mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby providing further clinical analysis and guiding the treatment scheme.
In conclusion, the high sensitivity, high specificity and convenience of the detection of the breeding type mycobacterium tuberculosis under the detection condition based on the SEQ ID No.2-SEQ ID No.3 hybrid dimer are fully shown.
