The application discloses a triplex forming
oligonucleotide fluorescent probe and a detection method for detecting
mycoplasma by targeting CARDS
toxin genes, and belongs to the technical field of microbial molecular detection. The fluorescent probe is a triplex forming
oligonucleotide (TFO), which is targeted to a specific and conservative core sequence of
mycoplasma CARDS
toxin genes, and a
fluorescent reporter group is modified at the 5' end, and a
fluorescent quenching group is modified at the 3' end. The TFO can form a stable triplex
DNA complex with the target sequence through Hoogsteen base
pairing, and trigger the release of a fluorescent
signal. The detection method comprises sample pretreatment and
DNA extraction, fluorescent probe incubation, fluorescent
signal detection and result judgment in sequence, and does not need a PCR amplification step, and the whole detection process can be completed within 45 minutes. The probe takes a functional conservative region of the CARDS
toxin gene as a target, effectively avoids detection deviation caused by variation of surface
antigen genes, has a specificity of 100%, and has a detection
lower limit of 1 copy / muL, and is suitable for
mycoplasma detection in multiple scenes such as
clinical treatment, biological pharmaceuticals and
livestock breeding.
