Description

pH-sensitive nucleic acid quantitative detection method and device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of nucleic acid detection, in particular to a pH-sensitive nucleic acid quantitative detection method and a pH-sensitive nucleic acid quantitative detection device.
Background
Quantitative detection of nucleic acids is a technique for amplifying nucleic acids and monitoring the amplification process by different means to obtain the initial concentration of nucleic acids before amplification. The conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can only roughly detect the amount of an amplification product after the reaction is completed, i.e., a so-called end-point method, and cannot be used for quantitatively detecting a nucleic acid in a sample. This is mainly because, as the reaction proceeds, primers and nucleotide raw materials are consumed and eventually cannot be exponentially amplified. Therefore, in conventional PCR, there is no linear relationship between the final yield of the amplification product and the initial copy number of the template.
To achieve quantification of nucleic acids, detection is performed during the exponential amplification phase of the nucleic acids. The basic principle of quantitative PCR is: a nucleic acid template of known concentration is added to the reaction system as a reference, and the primers used to amplify this reference template are identical to those used to amplify the target sequence in the sample. The quantitative detection is realized by comparing the amounts of the amplification products generated by the reference template and the target gene template and determining the ratio between the reference template and the target gene in the reaction system before the reaction starts. In general, this method requires quantification of the reference gene and the target gene during PCR exponential growth. There are many different methods available for detecting and quantifying the amplification product, including measuring the amount of radioactive incorporation during amplification or analyzing stained gels of ethylene bromide using computer software, etc.
In recent years, with the development of precise real-time fluorescent PCR instruments, they can amplify specific nucleic acid sequences and simultaneously determine the concentrations thereof, and can monitor the kinetic processes of PCR amplification in real time during the reaction, which revolutionized the method of nucleic acid quantitative detection. The real-time fluorescence PCR is to detect and quantify the fluorescence reporter group to realize the measurement of the amplified DNA quantity, and the increase of the fluorescence signal is in direct proportion to the quantity of the amplified product in the reaction process. The fluorescent reporter group can be excited by the light source of the real-time fluorescent PCR instrument. By recording the fluorescence emission per cycle, the progress of the PCR into the exponential growth phase can be monitored, the amount of the PCR product at this time is firstly and remarkably increased, and the amount of the PCR product at this time is related to the initial amount of the template, so that the PCR product can be used for quantitative analysis. However, the fluorescence quantitative method requires optical path devices for exciting fluorescence and detecting fluorescence, which makes the detecting instrument expensive and heavy, and is not suitable for on-site rapid detection.
In order to realize quantitative detection of nucleic acid, a new index can be searched to reflect the amplification process. Since one hydrogen ion is released every time one nucleotide is bound during nucleic acid amplification, the pH of the reaction solution is lowered, and the pH value of the reaction solution can also be used as an index for monitoring the progress of nucleic acid amplification.
It is to be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for understanding the background of the present application and thus may include information that does not constitute prior art known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
