Abstract

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is classified as a Risk Group 3 pathogen; propagative work with this live virus should be conducted in biosafety level-3 (BSL-3) laboratories. However, inactivated virus can be safely handled in BSL-2 laboratories. Gamma irradiation is one of the methods used to inactivate a variety of pathogens including viruses.

Objective: To determine the radiation dose required to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 and its effect, if any, on subsequent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.

Methods: Aliquots of SARS-CoV-2 virus culture were subjected to increasing doses of gamma radiation to determine the proper dose required to inactivate the virus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) data from irradiated samples was compared with that of the non-irradiated samples to assess the effect of gamma radiation on PCR assay.

Results: A radiation dose of 1 Mrad was required to completely inactivate 106.5 TCID50/ml of SARS-CoV-2. The influence of gamma radiation on PCR sensitivity was inversely related and dose-dependent up to 0.5 Mrad with no further reduction thereafter.

Conclusion: Gamma irradiation can be used as a reliable method to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 with minimal effect on subsequent PCR assay.

伽玛辐射体外灭活SARS-CoV-2的研究
简介:严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)被列为危险组3;这种活病毒的繁殖工作应在生物安全3级(BSL-3)实验室进行。然而,灭活病毒可以在生物安全二级实验室安全地处理。射线照射是用来灭活包括病毒在内的多种病原体的方法之一。目的:确定灭活SARS-CoV-2所需的辐射剂量及其对随后的聚合酶链反应(PCR)试验的影响(如果有的话)。方法:将等量的SARS-CoV-2病毒培养物进行增加剂量的伽马辐射,以确定灭活病毒所需的适当剂量。将辐照样品的实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)数据与未辐照样品的实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)数据进行比较,以评估伽马辐射对PCR检测的影响。结果:1 Mrad的辐射剂量可完全灭活106.5 TCID50/ml的SARS-CoV-2。γ辐射对PCR敏感性的影响呈负相关且剂量依赖性,最高可达0.5 Mrad,此后没有进一步降低。结论:伽玛辐照可作为一种可靠的灭活SARS-CoV-2的方法,对后续PCR检测影响最小。
