Definitions
- the invention concerns a method to detect amplified nucleic acids, in particular DNA, which makes use of a ligand bound to both of amplification primers to work both in the capturing and in the revealing reaction.
- the method is utilised for any of genomic, viral, bacterial, etc., DNA sequences, which are amplified by means of techniques to those expert in the field, as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) , provided that oligonucleotide primers are required.
- PCR polymerase chain reaction
- the method is advantageously used also for detecting amplified DNA obtained by reverse transcription of target mRNAs, viral genomic RNAs, etc.
- thermostable polymerases as, for example, Taq polymerase ( Thermus aqua ticus) , Tth polymerase ( Thermus thermophilus) .
- a good enrichment of template DNA is obtained, by repeating cycles comprising a denaturation step, wherein the two DNA strands are separated; an annealing step, wherein primers specifically hybridise to complementary sequences of target DNA; and an elongation step, wherein the thermostable polymerase polymerises a nucleotide chain on the target template DNA.
- the so-called nested PCR is used when a sufficient amount of amplified DNA may not be obtained according to the previous method, and comprises a first amplification by means of a first set of two primers, and a second amplification by means of a second set of two primers, which are different from those of the first set, having a sequence which is internal to the fragment sequence obtained by the first amplification.
- Patent application No. WO90/06374 in the name of Amrad Co. concerns a method for capturing on a solid substrate a target amplified DNA comprising the step of incorporating a first ligand into tne DNA by means of a PCR reaction utilising a set of two primers wherein only one primer comprises the first ligand, and to incubate the amplified DNA with a solid substrate adhered binding reagent which is specific for the first ligand.
- the revealing step of the captured amplified DNA is performed by means of binding to a second ligand, which is different to the first capturing ligand, with a reagent able to give rise to a detectable reaction.
- Primers which are not elongated during the amplification act as competitors of the amplified DNA for the binding to the solid substrate reagent, thus rendering the reaction not very sensible.
- the instant invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and allows to detect the amplified DNA m a very simply and sensible way.
- the amplified DNA is detected by incorporating a ligand molecule on each of DNA strands and further capturing on a solid substrate-adhered specific reagent for said ligand.
- the incorporation of the ligand in the amplified DNA is achieved by means of amplifying primers which both comprise a ligand, i.e. a biotin molecule at their 5' end.
- the capturing is achieved by means of reacting said ligand with a specific molecule, preimmobilized on a solid substrate.
- the ligand is a biotin molecule
- the specific molecule may advantageously be streptavidin, which has four binding sites for biotin.
- the revealing step is achieved by binding the ligand with an enzyme conjugated molecule able to catalyse a detectable reaction, i.e., peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase.
- Advantages of the invention comprise the use of the same ligand both for the solid phase binding system and for the detecting system; and the introduction of a denatu ⁇ ng- annealing step which render the primer saturated solid phase reagents able to capture and reveal the amplification products.
- nucleic acid-ligand-binding reagent complex a method for detecting an amplified nucleic acid in a sample comprising the following steps: i) incorporating a ligand into each of nucleic strands by means of an amplification reaction using as polymerisation primers two primers, each having said ligand, in order to obtain a nucleic acid-ligand complex; ii) allow the nucleic acid-ligand complex to denaturate into single strands; iii) incubate under denaturing conditions the nucleic acid- ligand complex with a binding reagent specific for said ligand, wherein the binding reagent is adhered to a solid substrate, in order to obtain a nucleic acid- ligand-binding reagent complex which is adhered to a solid substrate; iv) reveal the nucleic acid-ligand-binding reagent complex.
- the nucleic acid is DNA, more preferably obtained by reverse transcription of a RNA into cDNA
- the ligand is biotin and the binding reagent is streptavidin.
- the biotin is bound to each of 5' end terminus of the two primers.
- Another object of the invention is a kit to detect an amplified nucleic acid according to the described method comprising separate vials containing: - one or more amplification mix;
- a target viral RNA i.e. the hepatitis C virus
- HCV RNA is reverse transcribed by means of an antisense primer which is specific for the viral genome 5' end UTR (described, for example in EP 388232), and of the AMV reverse transcriptase enzyme (AMV-RT) .
- antisense primer which is specific for the viral genome 5' end UTR (described, for example in EP 388232)
- AMV-RT AMV reverse transcriptase enzyme
- a first amplification step is performed with a sense primer of the same 5' end UTR sequence, on the reverse transcribed cDNA template. Afterwards a nested amplification is performed by means of two primers having sequences comprised in the preamplified sequence fragment of the first PCR. The nested amplification primers are 5' end labelled with biotin.
- the amplification product is a double strand DNA fragment having at each of 5' ends a biotin molecule available for further binding.
- the nested amplification product is then reacted with a solid substrate preadhered binding reagent, i.e. streptavidin, and then captured.
- a solid substrate preadhered binding reagent i.e. streptavidin
- a second binding reagent is then introduced, i.e. peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (SA-HRP) , which binds to the biotin molecule, being still available for reacting with a chromogen and producing a detectable colorimetric reaction.
- SA-HRP peroxidase conjugated streptavidin
- Streptavidin comprises four biotin binding sites and is able to bind many biomolecules, as antigens, antibodies, carbohydrates, cells, DNAs, enzymes, haptens, lectins, peptides, proteins, receptors, which act as bridges for the colorimetric reaction.
- Biotin is able to bind, by means of an avidinic binding, to all of available, free solid substrate adhered streptavidin sites. Therefore each streptavidin molecule is able to bind up to four biotin molecules.
- the system sensitivity is further increased.
- the denaturation step may be performed by means of a denaturing solution, or simply by boiling the sample for appr. 10 min.
- the denaturing step allows to get single strand amplified DNAs and unutilised primers, as well. Therefore all of molecules in the denatured mix, either primers or amplified fragments, have at their 5' end a biotin molecule which is able to bind to streptavidin available sites. As a consequence the structures adhered on the solid substrate will comprise both unutilised primers and amplified fragments.
- the invention may utilise other binding molecules as well, as alkaline phosphatase, peptides, lectins, carbohydrates, DNA, binding proteins, etc.
- the system may be used also with "multiplex" PCR, with different fluoresceines 5' end labelled primers, and detected on dishes, or with automated systems ( ⁇ V gene scanner” and sequencing) .
- the invention foresees also the possibility of a direct quantitation of the amplified product, by diluting either the starting target nucleic acid or the amplified nucleic acid and performing different parallel reactions.
