Primers For Melting Analysis

View page
US Patent:
8399189, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/530052
Inventors:
Carl T. Wittwer - Salt Lake City UT, US
Luming Zhou - Salt Lake City UT, US
Mark Aaron Poritz - Salt Lake City UT, US
Assignee:
University of Utah Research Foundation - Salt Lake City UT
BioFire Diagnostics, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
C12P 19/34
C07H 21/02
C07H 21/04
US Classification:
435 61, 435 912, 536 231, 536 243
Abstract:
Methods and kits are provided for nucleic acid analysis. In an illustrative method a target nucleic acid is amplified using a first primer and a second primer, wherein the first primer comprises a probe element specific for a locus of the target nucleic acid and a template-specific primer region, and the probe element is 5′ of the template-specific primer region, subsequently allowing the probe element to hybridize to the locus to form a hairpin, generating a melting curve for the probe element by measuring fluorescence from a dsDNA binding dye as the mixture is heated, wherein the dye is not covalently bound to the first primer, and analyzing the shape of the melting curve. Kits may include one or more of the first and second primers, the dsDNA binding dye, a polymerase, and dNTPs.

US Patent:
20110076674, Mar 31, 2011
Filed:
May 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/467654
Inventors:
MARK AARON PORITZ - SALT LAKE CITY UT, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
435 6
Abstract:
Methods for typing a strain of an organism are provided, the methods comprising the steps of amplifying, in a single reaction mixture containing nucleic acid from the organism, dividing the reaction mixture into a plurality of sets of second-stage reaction wells, each set of second-stage reaction wells containing a different pair of second-stage primers, subjecting each of the second-stage reaction wells to amplification conditions to generate a plurality of second-stage amplicons, melting the second-stage amplicons to generate a melting curve for each second-stage amplicon, and identifying the strain of the organism from the melting curves.
