Triple-helical capture assay for quantification of polymerase chain reaction products.
نویسنده
چکیده
This method for rapid, automated analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products makes use of PCR primers containing 5'-polypyrimidine sequences. Polypyrimidine-"headed" primers confer to the PCR product the ability to form triple helical complexes with a third polypyrimidine oligonucleotide. Third-strand oligonucleotides are modified to serve as either capture reagents or detection reagents for PCR products. Automated quantitative measurement of the PCR product is achieved by using latex bead-based fluorescence analysis. The use of triple-instead of double-helical interactions avoids the usual requirements of complex blocking reagents, time- and labor-intensive washing steps, and long times for color development. The method also provides rapid, sequence-specific capture and detection of PCR products without the need to denature the double-stranded PCR product. The assay is demonstrated with use of both PCR primer-derived and endogenous triple-helix-forming sequences resulting from PCR of several bacterial and viral target nucleic acids.

Marek’s disease (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease of chickens characterized by lymphocyticinfiltration of various organs. The present study was an attempt to use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tooptimize a rapid and reliable assay for detection of MDV genome. Detection of serotype 1 of MDV (MDV-1)was confirmed by presence of a 200 bp DNA fragment as a PCR product. Differentiation of MDV-1 ...
