Nucleic acid amplification method using specific primers and blockers
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884965B2) discloses a method for amplifying a target nucleic acid using a unique primer pair, a reporter, and a capture complex attached to a solid support. The method involves providing a first primer pair with specific sequences, a reporter, and a capture complex with an anti-tag sequence on a solid support. The target nucleic acid is then amplified by combining these components with a sample containing the target nucleic acid under suitable conditions for amplification.
Furthermore, the method includes hybridizing the amplified nucleic acid to the anti-tag sequence of the capture complex, attaching the reporter to the second primer, and using a DNA intercalator as the reporter. The solid support used can be a microsphere, which may be magnetic and fluorescently labeled. The amplification process is catalyzed by a polymerase with strand displacement activity but without exonuclease activity. Additionally, the method allows for the detection of the amplified nucleic acid, including imaging the amplified target nucleic acid sequence bound to the capture complex. The patent also covers scenarios where multiple target nucleic acids are present in the sample, requiring the combination of different primer pairs, reporters, and capture complexes for their amplification and detection, with the ability to distinguish between different amplified target nucleic acids using spatially or optically distinguishable capture complexes.
