โœฆ Synopsis

Under certain conditions, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to differentially amplify one allele over another. To characterize the phenomenon, we have made a series of PCR primers and determined whether differential amplification could be detected after agarose gel electrophoresis. Two allele pairs were examined; one pair represents a transversion and one pair represents a transition. The following conclusions emerge: (i) when the 3' or the 3' penultimate base of the oligonucleotide mismatched an allele, no amplification product could be detected; (ii) when the mismatches were 3 and 4 bases from the 3' end of the primer, differential amplification was still observed, but only at certain concentrations of magnesium chloride; (iii) the mismatched allele can be detected in the presence of a 40-fold excess of the matched allele; (iv) primers as short as 13 nucleotides were effective; and (v) the specificity of the amplification could be overwhelmed by greatly increasing the concentration of target DNA.

We describe a novel method for the detection of human rhinoviruses in clinical samples, using the polymerase chain reaction. Two synthetic oligonucleotide primers were produced that bind in the 5' noncoding region of all rhinovirus serotypes tested, about 350 nucleotides apart, and were used to prim
