Real Time RT-PCR

Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
The real-time quantification of the number of amplified products is...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Nucleic acid amplification is crucial for DNA synthesis, with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) being key methods.
  • Traditional PCR requires precise thermal cycling, while isothermal LAMP methods operate at a constant temperature using strand-displacing polymerases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel LAMP-based amplification method capable of operating across a broad temperature spectrum.
  • To utilize a Bst polymerase with enhanced strand displacement activity and thermostability for versatile nucleic acid amplification.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modified LAMP protocol utilizing Bst polymerase.
  • Testing amplification efficiency across a temperature range of 39-75 °C.
  • Application of the method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and M. tuberculosis genomic DNA.

Main Results:

  • Successful nucleic acid amplification was achieved across a broad temperature range (39-75 °C).
  • Amplification initiation was demonstrated at both high and low temperatures, and sustained under dynamic temperature profiles.
  • The method effectively detected SARS-CoV-2 and M. tuberculosis genomic DNA.

Conclusions:

  • A versatile, broad-temperature-range nucleic acid amplification system based on LAMP was developed.
  • This system offers a robust platform for diagnostics in diverse settings, including point-of-care and field applications.
  • The method overcomes limitations of strict thermal control required by traditional amplification techniques.
