- first-stage PCR is performed using an outer primer.
- the mixture does not contain an inner primer.
- This embodiment is characterized by using an outer forward block nucleic acid (4 ofb) in the second stage PCR as shown in FIG.
- an outer forward block nucleic acid (4 ofb) and an outer reverse block nucleic acid (5 orb) are used.
- the outer forward block nucleic acid (4ofb) and the outer reverse block nucleic acid (5orb) have sequences complementary to the outer forward primer (4of) and the outer reverse primer (5or), respectively. Furthermore, none of the block nucleic acids (4ofb ⁇ 5orb) acts as a starting point for the extension reaction by DNA polymerase.
- the block nucleic acid (4ofb ⁇ 5orb) is a synthetic oligonucleic acid.
- block nucleic acids (4ofb ⁇ 5orb) are modified DNA, modified Locked Nucleic Acid (hereinafter “LNA”), and peptide nucleic acid (hereinafter “PNA”).
- LNA lockeded Nucleic Acid
- PNA peptide nucleic acid
- Nucleic acids are biopolymers in which a plurality of nucleotides composed of sugars, phosphate groups, and bases are linked via phosphodiester bonds.
- the OH group at the 3-position of the sugar contained in the nucleotide located at the 3 ′ end of the modified DNA and LNA is substituted or modified with hydrogen, phosphate group, amino group, biotin group, thiol group, or derivatives thereof.
- LNA is an artificially developed nucleic acid analog. PNA does not require this modification. This is because in PNA, the 2-aminoethylglycine bond replaces the sugar-phosphate diester skeleton.
- the inner forward primer (4if) and the inner reverse primer (5ir) are added to the mixed solution. Furthermore, outer forward block nucleic acid (4 ofb) is added to the mixed solution. It is also preferable to add an outer reverse block nucleic acid (5 orb).
- the outer forward block nucleic acid (4ofb ⁇ 5orb) binds to the outer forward primer (4of) to form a double-stranded DNA structure called a primer dimer.
- the outer reverse block nucleic acid (5 orb) binds to the outer forward primer (4 of) and forms a double-stranded DNA structure. Formation of these double-stranded DNA structures decreases the activity of the outer forward primer (4of) and the outer reverse primer (5or). Therefore, the DNA extension reaction from the outer primer in the second stage PCR as shown in FIG. 2 is suppressed.
- the outer forward block nucleic acid (4ofb) should not be a mere primer that is only complementary to the outer forward primer (4of). That is, the outer forward block nucleic acid (4 ofb) must not be the starting point for the DNA extension reaction by the DNA polymerase.
- the reason will be described with reference to FIG.
- the outer forward block primer forms a double-stranded DNA structure together with the outer forward primer (4of).
- the outer forward block primer also binds to the sequence portion 7s. Then, the DNA extension reaction starts from the outer forward block primer. This causes unwanted amplification products as shown in FIG.
- the outer reverse block nucleic acid (5orb) must also not be a simple primer that is only complementary to the outer reverse primer (5or).
- the first single-stranded DNA 6 is This is because when the sequence portion 6s is the same as or similar to the sequence complementary to the outer reverse block primer, the outer reverse block primer binds to the sequence portion 6s and starts the DNA extension reaction. If the first single-stranded DNA 6 and the second single-stranded DNA 7 have a plurality of similar sequences 6s and a plurality of similar sequences 7s, respectively, a large amount of undesired amplification products can be caused. For details, see Example 1 and Comparative Example 1b, and Example 3 and Comparative Example 3b.
- the outer forward block nucleic acid (4ofb) has a concentration higher than the concentration of the outer forward primer (4of). More specifically, the outer forward block nucleic acid (4ofb) preferably has a concentration 5 times that of the outer forward primer (4of), more preferably 10 times.
- the outer reverse block nucleic acid (5 orb) also has a concentration higher than that of the outer reverse primer (5 orb). More specifically, the outer reverse block nucleic acid (5 orb) preferably has a concentration 5 times that of the outer reverse primer (5 or), more preferably 10 times.
- components having pH buffering action such as MgCl 2 , reagents such as dithiothreitol, bovine serum albumin, and glycerol, as necessary Can be further mixed.
- Embodiment 2 The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the inner reverse primer (5ir) also serves as the outer reverse primer (5or).
- first-stage PCR is performed using an outer primer.
- the mixed solution contains an inner reverse primer (5ir).
- the first stage PCR consists of a second non-amplified sequence 6b-an intermediate single-stranded target sequence consisting of a single-stranded target sequence 1a and a sixth non-amplified sequence 7b-a complementary intermediate single consisting of a complementary single-stranded target sequence 1b A single-stranded target sequence is produced.
- Outer forward block nucleic acid (4 ofb) is mixed before the second stage PCR. Unlike Embodiment 1, the outer reverse block nucleic acid (5 orb) is not mixed. In the second stage PCR, the single-stranded target sequence 1a and the complementary single-stranded target sequence 1b are amplified by the inner forward primer (4if) and the inner reverse primer (5ir).
