Technical field
The invention belongs to molecular biology and molecular diagnostic techniques field, and in particular to a kind of to eliminate the zero of primer dimer
Background unwindase relies on system and amplification method and application.
Background technology
It is that one kind has to rely on unwindase isothermal amplification technology (helicase-dependent amplification, HDA)
The technology of the exponential amplification target nucleic acid of effect.The technical modelling biology nucleic acid in vivo reproduction process, using DNA helicase in isothermal
Under the conditions of untie double-stranded DNA, with single strand binding protein (single-stranded DNA-binding protein) maintain DNA
Single-chain state, nucleic acid amplification then is realized in the presence of archaeal dna polymerase, without similar to complicated and accurate required by PCR
Thermal cycle (denaturation-annealing-extension) process.HDA has been considered as a kind of strong PCR alternative, particularly
In the area of resource-constrained and when needing to detect on the spot, HDA illustrates the simplicity and practicality of brilliance, nowadays by
It is widely used in pathogen detection and SNP partings.
Early stage HDA is carried out at relatively low temperature (about 37 DEG C), using E. coli UvrD helicase and it is other two kinds it is auxiliary
Albumen MutL and single strand binding protein is helped to realize amplified reaction.In order to further improve HDA reaction efficiency, many research people

4) detection of product
It can be seen that by real-time fluorescence curves Fig. 5, when telomerase product is added in system, specific amplification occurs, signal
Produce;When in system without Telomerase amplified production is added, signal 0, the background that primer dimer triggers is eliminated.Explanation
In zero background HDA reaction systems, primer dimer reasons for its use is eliminated completely, and specific amplification signal normally produces
It is raw.Fluorescence intensity is different as caused by Fig. 6 can draw the cellular telomerase amplified production of varying number, by fluorescence intensity and carefully
Born of the same parents' number log-linear graph of a relation 7, it can be seen that fluorescence intensity and cell number logarithm are linear within the specific limits.Linear regression

Extensively, and the degree of accuracy is high.In normal cell MRC-5 (people's normal chick embryo lung fibroblast) and heat-inactivated HeLa cells telomerase
Activity is very low, and in the HeLa not inactivated, the tumour such as MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer cell) and A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma cell)
Telomerase activity in cells is high.In fig. 8, normal cell MRC-5 (people's normal chick embryo lung fibroblast) and heat-inactivated HeLa
The signal of the Telomerase amplified production of cell almost as blank control, illustrates Telomerase almost without activity.And do not inactivate
The Telomerase amplified production of tumour cell such as HeLa, MDA-MB-231 and A549 signal it is very high, illustrate the activity of Telomerase
It is high.The method of the opposite end telomerase activity detection illustrates that the application of the present invention is wide, and reliability is high, and obtained effect is fine.
In summary, the present invention reduces its background, this Research team has been probed into several heavy to improve HDA efficiency
Influence of the factor wanted to HDA, including enzyme concentration, reaction temperature, ATP concentration and dNTPs concentration.We have found that under enzyme concentration
Drop causes amplification rate to decline, but primer dimer still has.The increase of reaction temperature can not only reduce primer dimerization
The influence of body, also accelerates non-specific amplification, reduces the difference with template triggering specific amplification.Unexpected effect
It is that when adjusting ATP and dNTPs to a relatively low level at the same time, primer dimer is eliminated.By the present invention in that with
Appropriate ATP and dNTPs concentration eliminates the influence of primer dimer, obtains a kind of simple and general zero background HDA detections
Method.Zero background unwindase of the elimination primer dimer relies on system and extensive use be present.
