Embodiment 1

[0110] Example 1 Amplification of DNA starting from RNA template, irrespective of denaturing conditions.

[0111] First Choice™ Human Spleen Total RNA was obtained from Life Technologies™. Oligos were obtained from Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. cDNA:RNA heteroduplexes were prepared from total spleen RNA using Oligo SEQ ID NO: 1 with SuperScript® II (SS II) reverse transcriptase and accompanying buffer purchased from Life Technologies® and prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions .

[0112] Table 1: Oligonucleotide sequences used in Example 1.

[0113] SEQ. ID No. oligonucleotide sequence 1 5'-d[CCAGCCTGGGCATCCTTGAI*T]-3' 2 5'-d[TTCAGCTCTCGGAACATCTCI*A]-3' 3 5'-d[TCACGCCCACGGATCTGAAI*G]-3' 4 5'-d[CATCCAGTGGTTTCTTCTTTI*G]-3' 5 5'-d[GAGAGGAGCTGGTGTTGTTI*G]-3' 6 5'-d[TGCTCGCTTAGTGCTCCCTI*G]-3' 7 5'-d[TTGTGCCTGTCCTGGGAGAI*A]-3' 8 5'-d[GACGGAACAGCTTTGAGGTI*C]-3' 9 5'-d[CACACTGGAAGACTCCAGTI*G]-3' ...

Embodiment 2

[0125] Example 2 Reverse transcription using different reverse transcriptases

[0126] Isothermal amplification reactions were prepared and analyzed as in Example 1, wherein denaturation of the starting RNA template was performed at 95°C. For this example, increasing amounts of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV; Life Technologies) reverse transcriptase (RTase), which contains both reverse transcriptase and RNase H activity, or SS II RTase (reduced RNase H activity ) was added to the amplification reaction. Reactions contained 12.5, 25, 50 or 100 units of MMLV or SS II as indicated. Amplification reactions containing either RTase synthesized fragments of the expected size, indicating successful amplification of the target mRNA in a single combined reaction of RNA reverse transcription followed by amplification, as Figure 5 shown.

Embodiment 3

[0127] Example 3 Isothermal amplification of RNA in a single reaction mixture without denaturation

[0128] Isothermal amplification reactions were prepared and analyzed as in Example 1, but without any denaturation of the starting RNA template prior to amplification. 200 ng of total RNA (from spleen or kidney) was amplified alone with or without 30 min RNase A pretreatment (to eliminate RNA, as a negative control). The oligo mixture was the same as previously used in Example 1, which had amplified the correct product size starting from the cDNA:RNA template. RNase A was not inactivated prior to amplification. 50 units of SS II were included in all reactions.

[0129] Table 3 is used for the oligonucleotide sequence of embodiment 3

[0130]

[0131] Table 3 contains oligomers of SEQ ID No 13 - 24, wherein "I" represents inosine and "*" represents the phosphorothioate bond in the oligomer sequence. Human genomic DNA was amplified under the same conditions using differe...

Abstract

A method of amplifying RNA template is provided. The method comprises reverse-transcribing a ribonucleic acid (RNA) template to form a cDNA using a first reaction mixture comprising RNA template, at least one primer capable of hybridizing to the RNA template, a reverse transcriptase and deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs); and amplifying the cDNA to form an amplified product using a second reaction mixture comprising at least one strand displacement DNA polymerase, at least one inosine-containing primer and a nuclease that is capable of nicking DNA 3' to an inosine residue of the primer. The method is accomplished under an isothermal condition without denaturing the cDNA template. A method of quantifying RNA template in a sample and a method of detecting RNA template in a sample are also provided. Kits for amplifying deoxynucleic acid (DNA) from ribonucleic acid (RNA) template are also provided.
