Background Ø Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in clinical diagnostics § Amplification of DNA § Various applications, e. g. • Genotyping (e. g. single nucleotide polymorphisms) • Quantification (e. g. pathogen load) • Expression profiling (e. g. cancer screening) Denaturation of target DNA Annealing of primers Primer elongation Figure 1. Schematic representation of the PCR principle. © Copyright 2009 by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry
Background (continued) Ø Real-time PCR (e. g. hydrolysis probe PCR) § Advantages • Specificity, sensitivity • Low time-to-result • Multiplex analyses § Disadvantages • Cost-intensive (individual probe for each target) • Uneven background signal of different probes Annealing of primers and hydrolysis probe Primer elongation and cleavage of hydrolysis probe Figure 2.

Question Ø Why is hydrolysis probe PCR cost-intensive during assay development or when applied to numerous different targets? © Copyright 2009 by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry
Methods Ø Mediator probe PCR § Novel approach for real time amplification § Mediator probe (MP) • Target-specific 3’ region (probe) • Generic 5’ region (mediator) • Label free § Universal reporter (UR) • Fluorophore and quencher • Hairpin conformation • Mediator hybridization site * * Figure 3.

Costs savings for MP PCR compared to hydrolysis probe PCR. Above the break even point of 4 oligonucleotides MP PCR is cheaper than hydrolysis probe PCR. Calculated are oligonucleotide synthesis costs for a different number of targets (0. 05 nmol synthesis scale). © Copyright 2009 by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry
Question Ø What is the advantage of the MP PCR over hydrolysis probe PCR? © Copyright 2009 by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry
Conclusion Ø MP PCR is an alternative real-time PCR technique § LOD, inter- and intraassay imprecision, duplex capability of MP PCR are comparable to hydrolysis probe PCR § Low cost synthesis of target specific, label free MPs § Only one universal fluorogenic reporter (UR) is required to monitor the amplification of different samples Cost savings in UR synthesis due to economy of scales § UR has target independent, high efficiency of quenching © Copyright 2009 by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry
