聚合酶链式反应(PCR)应用

PCR是分子生物学的核心技术,功能强大。可在体外高效快速地对不同来源的特定DNA或RNA序列进行酶扩增。标准的PCR反应由目标DNA、一组目标DNA序列旁侧的合成寡核苷酸引物、一种热稳定DNA聚合酶(通常是Taq聚合酶)以及核苷酸组成。在热循环仪中,每个扩增循环分三个阶段:首先,双链DNA(dsDNA)变性成为两个单链DNA;其次,引物退火与目标DNA序列结合;最后, DNA聚合酶从引物开始延伸DNA进而产生一条由一条新链和一条母链组成的新双链DNA。而循环中新产生的每条DNA链都会成为下一个循环中的模版,因此只需20个循环DNA就可以增加100万倍。

逆转录酶 PCR (RT-PCR)
RT-PCR,或称逆转录PCR,由标准PCR技术衍变而来,可对从极少样品中提取出的特定信使RNA进行扩增。免去了传统克隆技术中冗长的信使RNA提纯过程。在逆转录PCR中,除使用标准PCR反应物外,还可使用逆转录酶和RNA样品。其中逆转录酶在反应被加热到37摄氏度时可从RNA样品中合成一条互补配对的cDNA拷贝。然后,这条cDNA链与引物退火配对合成第一条链。之后按标准PCR的流程生成双链DNA。逆转录PCR经常与实时定量PCR(qPCR)结合,广泛应用于细胞及组织转录水平的定量分析。
热启动PCR
热启动PCR技术用于在热激活执行前抑制反应中热启动Taq聚合酶活性或阻止经修饰脱氧核糖核酸的聚合。控制热启动聚合酶的活性的方法多样,包括化学修饰、抗体介导及适配体介导。
利用终点PCR对较长目标准确扩增
终点PCR通常在反应完成后用于探测目标是否存在及其相对丰度。由于附加了具备“校正”功能的元素,标准PCR能合成序列的长度最高为5000个碱基对。而兼具长度及准确度 (LA)的PCR结合第二种具有3’ 5’ 外切酶功能的热稳定聚合酶可修复末端核苷酸错参,所以不仅能够扩增长达40000个碱基对的DNA目标链,还极大地提高了其准确性。
