Description

Method for improving specificity of ARMS-TaqMan Blocker system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of tumor mutation detection, in particular to a method for improving the specificity of an ARMS-TaqMan packer system.
Background
In recent years, the non-radioactive labeling of probes has been rapidly developed while receiving a great deal of attention, and has been widely used for nucleic acid sequencing, gene detection, disease diagnosis, and the like. The ARMS technique is a commonly used fluorescent probe method, and the basic principle is that if the 3' end base of a primer is not complementary to the template base, extension cannot be performed with a general thermostable DNA polymerase. Therefore, 3 primers are designed according to the known point mutation, and the 3' end base of the primers is respectively complementary with the mutant and normal template base, so that the template with a certain point mutation is distinguished from the normal template. Sometimes, in order to improve the specificity, a wild-type template amplification Blocker (packer) is added into the system to suppress the amplification of the wild-type template, although the method can suppress the wild type to a certain extent, due to the lack of accurate packer design software and effective screening rules, the suppression effect is not ideal; alternatively, mismatched bases can be introduced at the penultimate or third base at the 3' end of the ARMS primer, but introduction of mismatched bases generally sacrifices sensitivity. Therefore, the conventional ARMS-TaqMan Blocker system is difficult to simultaneously achieve sensitivity and specificity, and complex and tedious optimization work is often required.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problem that the conventional ARMS-TaqMan packer system is difficult to simultaneously realize sensitivity and specificity, the invention provides a method for improving the specificity of the ARMS-TaqMan packer system.
The invention provides a method for improving the specificity of an ARMS-TaqMan Blocker system. The amount of PCR inhibitor added is in the range of 24-40mM, preferably 32 mM.
Conventional PCR inhibitors will in principle inhibit amplification, but for ARMS the amount of non-specifically amplified product is minimal, while the specific product is the majority. After a certain amount of PCR inhibitor is added into the system, specific amplification is not inhibited, but nonspecific self is strongly suppressed by Blocker, the content of the nonspecific self is low, and the specific PCR inhibitor can be further inhibited after the inhibitor is added.
The invention also protects the application of the method for improving the specificity of the ARMS-TaqMan Blocker system in tumor mutation detection.
The PCR inhibitor is added into a PCR fluorescent quantitative detection system for the first time, and the inhibitor has obvious inhibition effect on non-specific amplification and does not inhibit specific amplification, so that the aim of reducing non-specificity is fulfilled.
