HHV reactivation is of particular clinical concern in transplantation medicine, where immunosuppression can trigger viral reactivation, leading to graft rejection, secondary infections, and increased mortality. Notably, latently infected cells show no pathological changes, their contamination in cell cultures not only undermines the accuracy of scientific data and reliability of research results but also risks public health through the transmission of biological products. This study constructed three detection systems by combining multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) and Lateral Flow Assay (LFA): the Octaplex PCR system, with a sensitivity of 1 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>4<\/jats:sup>\n                    copies per 50\u00a0\u03bcL system, suitable for high-throughput contamination screening of cell samples (1 out of 30 tested samples was EBV positive); the Quadruplex RPA system, which improved sensitivity to 1 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    copies per 50\u00a0\u03bcL system (10 times higher than the PCR system), and shortened reaction time to 15\u201320\u00a0min, applicable for rapid preliminary screening; And the Duplex RPA-LFA detection system, maintaining 1 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    copies per 50\u00a0\u03bcL system sensitivity, enabling visual result detection within 20\u00a0min without complex instruments for on-site rapid identification. These systems provide reliable tools for cell quality control, technical support for early diagnosis of HHVs-associated diseases and prevention strategies, as well as theoretical references for other virus detection systems, boasting broad application prospects.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2026.1751135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T06:04:14Z","timestamp":1779775454000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development of rapid multiplex human herpesvirus detection systems based on recombinase polymerase amplification and a lateral flow assay"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yidan","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuyu","family":"Ling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Cell Homeostasis, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dani","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Cell Homeostasis, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haoyi","family":"Zu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Cell Homeostasis, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meimei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]},{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Cell Homeostasis, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University","place":["Wuhan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511545313","article-title":"Human herpesviruses: biology, therapy, and immunoprophylaxis","volume-title":"Human herpesviruses: biology, therapy, and immunoprophylaxis","author":"Arvin","year":"2007"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1002\/(sici)1099-1654(199910\/12)9:4<245::aid-rmv253>3.0.co;2-i","article-title":"Human herpesvirus 7","volume":"9","author":"Black","year":"1999","journal-title":"Rev.
