Title:
METHOD FOR DETECTING MUTATIONS IN TARGET BASE SEQUENCE OF NUCLEIC ACID, METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY INHIBITING AMPLIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACID, AND KIT FOR IMPLEMENTING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/106200
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention has the objective of providing: a convenient method capable of detecting mutant genes at mutant gene prevalences which are lower than the detection limit of mutant genes when using PCR clamping; and a kit for implementing the same. The present invention also has the objective of providing: a convenient method capable of selectively inhibiting amplification of target base sequences in nucleic acid amplification reactions; and a kit for implementing the same. A nucleic acid clamp is caused to be concomitantly present, during a nucleic acid amplification reaction, with an amphoteric copolymer which has a cationic structural unit (1) containing an amino acid and an anionic structural unit (2), the mole ratio of the cationic structural unit (1) to the anionic structural unit (2) (cationic structural unit (1)/anionic structural unit (2)) being in the range of 0.13 to 1.62, thereby enhancing the amplification inhibition, by the nucleic acid clamp, of nucleic acids having base sequences complementary thereto.
