【Abstract】 A simple, specific and quantitative assay for DNA sequence amplification by using a doubled stranded primer called antenna primer is described. To construct antenna primer, the conventional primer was labeled with a fluorophor at its 5’-end, and a complementary sequence of the primer was labeled at 3’-end with a dark fluorescent quencher to block its extension, and non-fluorescent double-strand primer was formed upon hybridization. During preparation of the reaction mixture and initial heating, the antenna primer has a stable duplex structure and cannot serve as an effective primer for DNA polymerase. After heating to the annealing temperature, it partially melted and primer extension began and fluorescence was produced. The method has been validated with amplification of human β-globulin gene. The antenna primer is a novel design. The self-annealing fluorogenic primers not only realize real-time amplification in a simple way, but also offer improved specificity and more robust synthesis than hot start PCR.更多还原
