A fluorescent assay for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 is based on immobilization of PPIX as signal indicators in massive G-quadruplex structures obtained by target recycling, three-dimensional DNA walker and RCA coupled cascade nucleic acid amplification.

ABSTRACT The use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for the diagnosis of Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile infection (CDI) leads to overdiagnosis. To improve the clinical specificity of NAATs, there has been a recent interest in using toxin gene cycle thresholds (CTs) to predict the presence and absence of toxins. Although there is an association between CT values and fecal toxin concentrations, the predictive accuracy of the former is suboptimal for use in clinical practice. Ultrasensitive toxin immunoassays to quantify free toxins in stool offer a novel option for high-sensitivity fecal toxin detection rather than using surrogate markers for prediction.
