Objective: To employ adeno-associated viruses as vectors to design and prepare pseudoviruses comprising multiple DNA viral gene fragments. These were used as positive controls for the detection of human viruses in the field of molecular testing, thereby compensating for the absence of wild-type viral controls in viral molecular testing methods. Methods: The adeno-associated viral vectors served as the backbone of the pseudoviruses, with a total of four target gene fragments from three viruses incorporated: human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), type 18 (including HPV18-1 and HPV18-2) and human polyomavirus (HPyV) were, respectively, inserted into one viral vector, and the adeno-associated viral pseudoviruses were packaged by multiple plasmid cotransfection. The infectious activity of the pseudoviruses was confirmed by a cell infection assay, and a quantitative analysis of the pseudoviruses genome was conducted using fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: The titers of HPV16, HPV18-1, HPV18-2, and HPyV genomes in the pseudoviruses were 7.77×108 copies · mL-1, 6.77×108 copies · mL-1, 7.04×108 copies · mL-1, and 1.24×109copies · mL-1, respectively, as determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Following a 48 h period of infection in 293T/17 cells, the viral gene sequences of HPV16, HPV18-1, HPV18-2, and HPyV were successfully identified using fluorescence quantitative PCR with the intracellular pseudoviruses. The copy numbers were 1.30×106 copies · mL-1, 6.59×105 copies · mL-1, 6.27×105 copies · mL-1, and 4.17×106 copies · mL-1. Following the infection of 293T/17 cells with the reporter gene pseudoviruses for a period of 48 hours, a distinct green fluorescence was evident under a fluorescence microscope, thereby confirming the infectious activity of the pseudoviruses. The pseudoviruses was employed as a positive control for the verification of applicability in human mesenchymal stem cells, and the recoveries of the four viral gene fragments by fluorescence quantitative PCR for nucleic acid extraction were 94.4%, 70.7%, 83.1% and 90.9%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that the adeno-associated virus packaging method can be employed to produce a multiviral gene pseudoviruses with infectious activity. The pseudoviruses can be employed as a positive control for the replacement of multiple wild-type viruses in the viral fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of stem cell samples.
