NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION PART 2 Flashcards
difference of probe amplification to target amplification
number of targets nucleic acid sequences in the sample is not changed
purpose ofoligonucleotide
prime the dna polymerase
3 types of nucleic acid amplification technique
target, signal, probe
the amplified targets in dna sequence is called as
amplicons
short stretches of nucleic acids
probes
are synonymous to primer
probes
in probe amplification, what we are amplifiying is
probe itself
probes are attached to a fluorogenic dye such as
reported dye or guencher dye
__ detects particular infectious
organisms as well as gene rearrangements (ex. sickle
cell anemia)
Probe amplification
PROBE AMPLIFICATION
Can also detect chromosomal translocations (ex._____ ), and chromosomal breakages
down syndrome
Also used to detect changes in oncogenes (promotes
cancer development), and tumor suppressor genes
PROBE AMPLIFICATION
probe amplification is Also used to detect diagnosis of inherited disorders (ex.
_______
cystic fibrosis
Also used to detect carrier status, polymorphic markers,
and establish identity or non-identity
probe amplification
Also used to aid in donor selections and confirming an
organism isolated in the culture
probe amplification
probe amplification is used to confirm what organism
mycobacterium legionella
salmonella
E coli (diarrheagenic e.coli)
campylobacter
fungi
blastomyces dermatitidis
coccidiodes imitis
cryptococcus neoformans
histoplasma capsulatum
probe amplification
Can also detect agents of sexually transmitted disorder
such a
Chlamydia trachomatis,
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, cytomegalovirus, Epstein Barr Virus,
herpes simplex virus,
and detection of viral loads of HIV and HCV
3 major procedures of probe amplification
ligase chain reaction
strand displacement amplification
qb replicase
ligase chain reaction is manufactured and marketed by
abbott
strand displacement amplification is manufactured and marketed by
beckton dickinson
qb replicase is manufactured and marketed by
vysis
PCR and probe amplification is similar, however, there’s one step that is added in probe amplification.
ligation - connecting probe together using ligase enzymes and that probe will automatically analyzed and amplified
In LCR, __ is used to
ligate the adjacent primers
together
DNA ligase
a method for amplifying synthethic primers/probes complementary to target nucleic acid
ligase chain reaction
in LCR, the ligated primers can serve as ___ for annealing and ligation of additional primers
template
product of LCR is
ligated primer thus classifying it as a probe amplification
Lcr can be used to detect point-mutation in a target sequence
the point mutation that occurs in B globulin of patients with SICKLE CELL DISEASE is one of the first applications for LCR
