Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new probe for DNA amplification that allows for better identification of specific products. The probe has a fluorophore attached to a central cytosine base, which helps to distinguish between specific and unspecific products based on unique melt curve signatures. This makes it easier to confirm the specificity of DNA products generated under isothermal conditions. The new probe is also compatible with different amplification techniques and can be used with commonly used probes.

Problems solved by technology

However due to a large number of product variants generated in this reaction and a low resolution of melt curve analysis, using intercalating dyes like V13, it is very difficult to distinguish between specific and unspecific DNA products generated under isothermal conditions.
Commonly used probes such as TaqMan® probe are not compatible with LAMP technology due to the strand displacement activity of BST polymerase.

example 1

[0062]FIGS. 2A to 2F shows amplification plots generated with the CT PB1 (FIG. 2A and FIG. 2D), GC glnA7 (FIG. 2B and FIG. 2E) and GC porA7 (FIG. 2C and FIG. 2F) primers in V6.21 buffer containing V13 (FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C) or V6.21p buffer without V13 dye (FIGS. 2D, 2E and 2F). The target sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs. 7 to 9 with CT PB1 internal probe conjugated with FAM, GC glnA7 loop probe conjugated with Joe and GC porA7 loop probe conjugated with Alexa546 respectively. All reactions were performed for 60 mins at a constant temperature of 63 C with AB17500 machine.

example 2

[0063]FIGS. 3A and 3B are melt curve analyses of LAMP products generated with CT PB1 primers in the presence of CT PB1 internal probe conjugated with FAM. 100 pg per reaction of ATTC CT DNA standard was used as a positive control. A—normalized reporter plot, B—derivative reporter plot. Melt curve plots were generated based on the readouts in FAM channel with AB17500 machine.

example 3

[0064]FIGS. 4A and B are melt curve analyses of LAMP product generated with GC glnA7 primers in the presence of GC glnA7 loop probe conjugated with JOE. 100 pg per reaction of ATTC GC DNA standard was used as a positive control. FIG. 4A shows a normalized reporter plot and FIG. 4B shows a derivative reporter plot. Melt curve plots were generated based on the readouts in JOE channel with AB17500 machine.
