Abstract
There are four human coronaviruses (HCoVs), distributed worldwide, that are associated with a range of respiratory symptoms. The discovery of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV shows that HCoVs pose a significant threat to human health. Our work aims to develop a sensitive method (mCoV-MS) which can not only identify known HCoVs accurately, but also have the ability to provide clues for the emerging HCoVs. The method was performed using a MassARRAY matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system. We developed a 17-plex analysis to detect six HCoVs in Panel A and another 17-plex analysis to detect

The discovery of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV shows that HCoVs pose a significant threat to human health. Our work aims to develop a sensitive method (mCoV-MS) which can not only identify known HCoVs accurately, but also have the ability to provide clues for the emerging HCoVs. The method was performed using a MassARRAY matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system. We developed a 17-plex analysis to detect six HCoVs in Panel A and another 17-plex analysis to detect <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
in Panel B. All tested primers and probes for the mCoV-MS method were effective, with no cross-reactivity observed with other common respiratory viruses. To confirm the usefulness of the mCoV-MS method we screened 384 pharyngeal and/or anal swab samples collected from bats/rodents, and 131 nasal and throat swabs from human patients. The results showed good concordance with the results of metagenomic analysis or PCR-sequencing. The validation test showed mCoV-MS method can detect potentially pathogenic CoVs in <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
and provide convincingly phylogenetic evidences about unknown CoVs. The mCoV-MS method is a sensitive assay that is relatively simple to carry out. We propose that this method be used to complement next generation sequencing technology for large-scale screening studies.</p>

<abstract><p>There are four human coronaviruses (HCoVs), distributed worldwide, that are associated with a range of respiratory symptoms. The discovery of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV shows that HCoVs pose a significant threat to human health. Our work aims to develop a sensitive method (mCoV-MS) which can not only identify known HCoVs accurately, but also have the ability to provide clues for the emerging HCoVs. The method was performed using a MassARRAY matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system. We developed a 17-plex analysis to detect six HCoVs in Panel A and another 17-plex analysis to detect <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
in Panel B. All tested primers and probes for the mCoV-MS method were effective, with no cross-reactivity observed with other common respiratory viruses. To confirm the usefulness of the mCoV-MS method we screened 384 pharyngeal and/or anal swab samples collected from bats/rodents, and 131 nasal and throat swabs from human patients. The results showed good concordance with the results of metagenomic analysis or PCR-sequencing. The validation test showed mCoV-MS method can detect potentially pathogenic CoVs in <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
and provide convincingly phylogenetic evidences about unknown CoVs. The mCoV-MS method is a sensitive assay that is relatively simple to carry out. We propose that this method be used to complement next generation sequencing technology for large-scale screening studies.</p>

<p>Coronaviruses (CoVs) are large, enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses that can cause respiratory, enteric, hepatic, and neurological diseases in a range of animals, including humans (Lai et al., <xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
). According to the latest criteria of International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, CoVs are classified into four genera, including <italic>Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Deltacoronavirus</italic>
, and <italic>Gammacoronavirus</italic>
. There are six human coronaviruses (HCoVs), HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) which belong to <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
. HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-HKU1 are usually associated with relatively mild respiratory symptoms and the detection rate ranges from 0.3 to 4.5% in respiratory specimens according to different studies (Gaunt et al., <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
; Gadsby et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
; Trombetta et al., <xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
). In 2003, SARS emerged from China as a rapidly spreading respiratory illness with a fatality rate close to 10%. The SARS-CoV was found to be a lineage B <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
and was confirmed as the etiological agent of SARS (Drosten et al., <xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>
; Ksiazek et al., <xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>
; Lee et al., <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>
; Peiris et al., <xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>
). In 2012, MERS-CoV was detected in humans, which is a lineage C <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
that differs from other HCoVs. This virus has caused severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in patients with a fatality rate close to 40% and led to a new awareness of the medical importance of HCoVs (van Boheemen et al., <xref rid="B48" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
; Zaki et al., <xref rid="B56" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
; de Groot et al., <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). As of 15 June 2017, there were 2015 laboratory confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection and 703 deaths in 27 countries (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/emergencies/mers-cov/en/">http://www.who.int/emergencies/mers-cov/en/</ext-link>
). The emergence of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV suggests that highly pathogenic HCoVs remain a key threat to human health. Because of the severity and communicability of SARS and SARI, rapid and sensitive diagnostic methods are essential for the timely implementation of effective infection control measures to prevent further transmission. Millions of pilgrims from across the globe perform the Hajj annually, increasing the risk of global transmission of MERS-CoV (Sharif-Yakan and Kanj, <xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). The large number of tourists traveling to the Middle East also increases the risk of transmitting MERS-CoV to other areas. Thus, it is important to develop a high-throughput and sensitive method that can detect HCoVs, especially MERS-CoV.</p>
<p>Isolation of virus from clinical specimens by cell culture is regarded as the gold standard for laboratory diagnosis of respiratory virus infection. However, for HCoVs, attempting to isolate virus has long turnaround time and some HCoVs are difficult to culture, which makes the detection results lack timeliness. Compared with cell culture, molecular tests, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), nested RT-PCR, and quantitative real-time RT-PCR assays (qPCR) are more rapid, and have superior sensitivity (van der Hoek et al., <xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
; Bellau-Pujol et al., <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Vijgen et al., <xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Vabret et al., <xref rid="B47" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
; Gaunt et al., <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). To date, molecular tests are accepted worldwide as an important method for diagnosing HCoV infection. However, most of the current molecular methods target a single HCoV gene, which limits their application because of the mutations that can occur in HCoV genomes. Thus, false negative results can be returned because they are only targeting one gene.</p>
<p>In view of the lessons we learned from MERS and SARS outbreak, CoVs have the ability of interspecies transmission and may emerge as novel pathogens (Chan et al., <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
; Ge et al., <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). Therefore, an ideal diagnosis method should not only identify known HCoVs accurately, but also have the ability to provide clues for the emerging HCoVs. However, most of the current molecular assays only target some of HCoVs, which may cause a false negative result when facing novel HCoV infections. In this study, we designed and evaluated a multiplexed CoVs test, mCoV-MS, which can detect 6 known HCoVs and have the potential to discover new HCoVs that haven't been clearly described yet. Our new method consists of two panels. Panel A is designed to cover six known HCoVs. Panel B is designed to cover all the known CoVs in <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
which is developed to expand our detection spectrum. Our method is based on the MassARRAY matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) system (Agena Bioscience, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), which has been used for pathogen detection successfully, including common respiratory viruses, human papillomavirus, human polyomavirus, human enterovirus and <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic>
(Yang et al., <xref rid="B54" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>

,<xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">a</xref>
; Zhang et al., <xref rid="B57" ref-type="bibr">2015</xref>
). Likewise, the mCoV-MS method uses multiplex PCR conjugated MALDI-TOF MS technology to achieve high-throughput CoVs detection. The method was divided into three stages: multiplex PCR, primer extension and MALDI-TOF MS identification. Briefly, all the targets are amplified via multiplexed PCR followed by incubation with shrimp alkaline phosphatase (SAP) to dephosphorylate any unincorporated dNTPs. In primer extension stage, site-specific short oligonucleotide primers will bind the respective amplicons and are extended a single base, as the substrate used in this reaction is ddNTPs. Finally, MALDI-TOF MS is used to measure the masses of extended primers accurately, thus receiving a positive or negative result for every target (Oeth et al., <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
).</p>

<sec><title>Experiment procedures of mCoV-MS method</title>
<p>The primary PCR and iPLEX reaction of the mCoV-MS method was performed in a 384-plate by using a ProFlex PCR system (Applied Biosystems, USA) according to our modified protocol as previously described (Peng et al., <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">2013a</xref>
). The PCR mixes (5 μl) contained 2 μl template and final concentrations of 500 μM nucleotide mix (dATP, dGTP, dCTP, and dUTP), 100 nM primer mix, 1 U DNA polymerase enzyme, 2 mM MgCl<sub>2</sub>
, and 0.2 U uracil-DNA glycosylase. The reaction conditions of primary PCR were: 45°C for 2 min; a denaturing step of 2 min at 95°C followed by 45 cycles of 95°C for 30 s, 56°C for 30 s and 72°C for 1 min; and then a final extension step at 72°C for 5 min. Sterile water was used as negative control. Then SAP was used to dephosphorylate the primary PCR mixes as follows: 37°C for 40 min and then 85°C for 5 min. After SAP treatment, the iPLEX reaction (single-base extension reaction) mix which included 0.2 μl terminator mix, 0.94 μl extension probe mix, 0.2 μl iPLEX Pro buffer, and 0.041 μl ThermoSequenase enzyme was added. The iPLEX reaction, desalting and sample dispensing were performed according to standard procedures (Agena Bioscience, Inc.). All data were acquired and analyzed using Typer software, v4.0.3 (Agena Bioscience, Inc.).</p>

<sec><title>Test of the mCoV-MS method</title>
<p>We used the plasmids containing nearly the full-length sequence of target genes of HCoVs to determine the analytical sensitivity of the mCoV-MS method. The plasmids were diluted to a series of concentrations of 1, 10, 100 1,000, and 10,000 copies per reaction. The test of each plasmid concentration was performed in triplicate.</p>
<p>All samples used in this study were obtained from collections at our institute. We isolated total RNA and DNA from all samples using the Qiagen DNA/RNA isolation kits (Qiagen, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. To evaluate the specificity of the mCoV-MS method, we used 32 samples that had previously been confirmed positive for HCoV (Ren et al., <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
; Zhang et al., <xref rid="B58" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
), and two bat SARS-like coronavirus isolated from bats (Yang et al., <xref rid="B55" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). A panel of common respiratory viruses (Ren et al., <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>

<p>Further testing of the mCoV-MS method involved 384 pharyngeal and/or anal swab samples collected from bats (<italic>n</italic>

). For comparison, the next generation sequencing technology (NGST) results of 352 bat samples in another study were also included (Wu et al., <xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
).</p>
<p>We screened 131 nasal and throat swabs obtained from patients for HCoVs using the mCoV-MS method. The results were compared with those of other methods as described follows. Four common HCoVs were also screened by using PCR or nested PCR assays, followed by sequencing analysis according to previously reported methods (van der Hoek et al., <xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>

<sec><title>To screen bat and rodent samples using the mCoV-MS method</title>
<p>We used 352 pools of bat pharyngeal and anal swab samples to validate the performance of mCoV-MS. These samples were collected in 22 provinces which is a part of our bat virome project (Wu et al., <xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
). Among the 352 pools, 20 (5.68%) were tested positive by our method. Seventeen pools (4.83%) were identified by panel A assays as SARS-CoV, which showed good concordance with the results of SARS-like CoVs by means of metagenomic analysis (Wu et al., <xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>

). Six of the 17 (35.3%) pools were also confirmed as lineage-B beta-CoV by panel B assays. We found that these samples obtained two or more positive results by panel A assays. It is obvious that multiple target using in panel A avoid the false negative results. Five of the 17 (29.4%) pools were confirmed as lineage-B beta-CoV by PCR-sequencing method. It seemed that the mCoV-MS method were more sensitive than PCR method (<italic>P</italic>

<sec><title>To screen clinical samples using the mCoV-MS method</title>
<p>Using the mCoV-MS method, we analyzed 131 nasal and throat swabs. The mCoV-MS method detected HCoVs in 22.14% (29/131) of samples. This result was identical to that when we used a combination of PCR and sequencing techniques. We detected HCoV-OC43, HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-HKU1 in 9.9% (13/131), 6.9% (9/131), 3.1% (4/131) and 2.3% (3/131) of specimens, respectively. SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV were not detected in any of these samples.</p>

<sec sec-type="discussion" id="s4"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>The emergence of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV has tested our ability to design new diagnostic methods for their rapid detection. Lesson from SARS showed that we were not adequately prepared for the first pandemic of the twenty-first century (de Wit et al., <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
). It took several months to confirm the causative agent as SARS-CoV. Fortunately, advances in molecular technology, especially NGST, allows us to timely and accurately identify MERS-CoV (Zaki et al., <xref rid="B56" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). It is very important that these viruses are rapidly and accurately identified in order to assist in commencing an appropriate treatment regimen for patients. The emergence of MERS-CoV has once again highlighted the impact of HCoVs on human health (Chan et al., <xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">2015</xref>
). Several studies have shown that HCoVs likely originate from wild animal hosts, such as bats (Calisher et al., <xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
; Wang et al., <xref rid="B51" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
; Woo et al., <xref rid="B52" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Shi and colleagues found a SARS-like CoV in Chinese horseshoe bats, suggesting that bats are the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV, and palm civets are an incidental host (Li et al., <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Ge et al., <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). Huynh et al. found that HCoV-NL63 might share common ancestry with <italic>Alphacoronaviruses</italic>
of the North American tricolored bat (Huynh et al., <xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Several groups have shown that MERS-CoV also likely originates in bats (Annan et al., <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
; Ithete et al., <xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
; Memish et al., <xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). Based on neutralizing serum antibody tests, Reusken et al. showed that MERS-CoV, or a related virus, has infected camels (Reusken et al., <xref rid="B41" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). A multidisciplinary team of virologists isolated MERS-CoV from dromedary camels (Haagmans et al., <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). Alagaili et al. also showed that MERS-CoV has been circulating in camels for nearly 20 years; however there is no evidence of MERS-CoV infection in domestic goats or sheep (Alagaili et al., <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). The identification of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV indicates that viral cross-species transmission is a real threat to human health (Chan et al., <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
; de Wit et al., <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
). Recently, Menachery et al. suggested that a cluster of SARS-like CoV circulating in bat populations shows potential for human emergence (Menachery et al., <xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">2015</xref>
). It is possible there are additional CoVs circulating in the wild that could infect humans. To confirm this, a large-scale study screening samples from various wild animals all over the world needs to be conducted. However, it is possible that false negative results would be seen using conventional detection methods that target one gene, because of the genetic diversity of HCoVs.</p>
<p>In clinical laboratories, it has been shown that qPCR assays are sensitive detection methods, which are also quantitative (Vijgen et al., <xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Gaunt et al., <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). Most qPCR-based methods target a single gene of a virus. Gaunt et al. performed a large-scale screening of four common HCoVs using a 4-plex qPCR assay, thereby significantly improving HCoV diagnosis (Gaunt et al., <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). It has been shown that qPCR assays have played an important role in the detection and identification of MERS-CoV. Multiple methods targeting different genes of MERS-CoV have been developed and used to detect MERS-CoV. Corman et al. successfully developed several qPCR assays targeting <italic>upE, ORF1b</italic>
and <italic>ORF1a</italic>
(Corman et al., <xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">2012a</xref>
,<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>
). In another study, Lu et al. developed a multiplex qPCR assay targeting the <italic>N</italic>
gene and the <italic>upE</italic>
region (Lu et al., <xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). However, the availability of fluorescent dyes limits the multiplexing capacity of their qPCR assay. The mCoV-MS method we developed targets two or four genes, making it a powerful method for screening samples from humans and other animals. Our results also showed that multiple target using in panel A avoid the false negative results. The validation test showed our method can target potentially pathogenic CoVs in <italic>Alphacoronavirus</italic>
and <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
and provide convincingly phylogenetic evidences about unknown CoVs. Thus, our method is an effective way to expand CoVs detection spectrum.</p>
<p>NGST is able to generate a large amount of data by random sequencing, and has been widely used in pathogen detection (Haagmans et al., <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
), including deciphering the bat virome by our group (Wu et al., <xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">2016</xref>
). For CoVs, the large RNA genome has a high frequency of mutation and recombination. Conventional molecular diagnosis requires prior knowledge of the target whereas NGST provides an unbiased result. From this point, NGST is more sensitive than PCR, especially for screening RNA virus with a high frequency of variation. However, the high cost, long turn-around time, and sophisticated bioinformatic analysis required, limits the number of samples that can be sequenced. Our mCoV-MS method can be used to complement NGST methods in large-scale screening studies. On one hand, we can screen a large number samples using mCoV-MS method. Then, the selected positive samples or suspicious positive samples were analyzed using the NGST method. On the other hand, new assays can be incorporated into the mCoV-MS method when we obtain new information regarding CoVs, such as the information we get from NGST. The mCoV-MS method is flexible and can be modified as necessary. As an example, we can use the SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV panels on their own.</p>
<p>There are 10 countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula with laboratory-confirmed MERS cases, and 17 countries with travel-associated MERS cases (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/index.html">http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/index.html</ext-link>
). There is no border for virus. Therefore, nasopharyngeal samples collected from pilgrims have been screened for MERS-CoV (Gautret et al., <xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). Memish et al. stated that their results only represented a relatively small proportion of the total number of pilgrims (Memish et al., <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). The largest known outbreak of MERS outside the Arabian Peninsula occurred in the Republic of Korea in 2015. The outbreak was associated with a single person returning from the Middle East which involved 16 hospitals and 186 patients (Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, <xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">2015</xref>
). The WHO encourages all member states to continue their surveillance for acute respiratory infections, in particular SARI (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/csr/don/03-february-2015-mers/en/">http://www.who.int/csr/don/03-february-2015-mers/en/</ext-link>
). The United Kingdom has established a surveillance system to screen people from the Middle East for MERS-CoV (Thomas et al., <xref rid="B45" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). Our mCoV-MS method is a suitable choice for this type of screening, as it is possible for one technician to analyze two 384-well plates within 8 h.</p>
<p>We found some limitations of mCoV-MS method just like we mentioned it in previous report (Peng et al., <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">2013a</xref>
). When the HCoV load is very low in a sample, the mCoV-MS method may fail to detect it because of the volume of sample used was 2 μl. So we should use a larger primary PCR volume or several primary PCR reactions for those samples. It should be pointed out that our method is based on the known CoVs sequence, as far as possible covers the known CoVs. It is difficult to detect a new HCoV only use mCoV-MS method. However, it can provide some clues for new HCoV detection compared to current methods.</p>
