基本原理 : Real-Time PCR 隨著 PCR 反應循環逐次增加時, 目標 DNA 也隨之快速增幅, 此時 PCR 反應液反應中之特定的螢光物質可與目標 DNA 結合而產生螢光, 經由儀器偵測後即時將訊號資料呈現並計算
基本原理 : 目標 DNA 起始的量愈多, 其螢光值愈早達到偵測之閥值 (Threshold), 此時所對應的循環數 (cycle) 稱之為 Ct 值 因此, 目標 DNA 的濃度與 Ct 值成反比關係 依據連續稀釋標準樣品的 Ct 值及已知濃度, 可得標準曲線, 根據此標準曲線可以推算樣品的起始濃度, 達到定量測試之目的

Real-Time PCR 應用 絕對定量 Absolute Quantification 用於確定未知樣本中某個核酸序列的絕對量值, 也就是 copy numbers Ct=-klogx+b
相對定量 Relative Quantification 用於測定樣本中之目標基因 (target gene) 在實驗組及對照組中表達的相對變化 在比較之前, 同一個樣本中的目標基因需用內部對照基因 (endogenous control gene) 先做校正 (normalization) Ct ref Ct target 實驗組 對照組
相對定量 Relative Quantification Target Endogenous Ct samplegene control Ct control (Control)
基因型鑑定 Single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyping assay 需用兩個帶有不同螢光物質, 並針對單一鹼基變異而能辨識之探針, 在 PCR 反應完成時收集數據, 可用於檢測變異 每個反應中需包括兩個引子和探針, 可將序列放大並偵測產物序列上單核苷酸多形性位點上出現兩個可能的變異基因型 目標序列實際量不確定

High Resolution Melt (HRM) Novel, homogeneous, post-pcr method, enabling genomic researchers to analyze genetic variations in PCR amplicons. Beyond the power of classical melting curve analysis in much more detail and with much higher information yield than ever before. Samples can be discriminated according to their sequence, length, GC content or strand complementarity. Even single base changes can be readily identified.
HRM Applications Mutation discovery (gene scanning) Screening for loss of heterozygosity DNA fingerprinting SNP genotyping Characterization of haplotype blocks DNA methylation analysis DNA mapping Species identification Somatic acquired mutation ratios HLA compatibility typing Association (case/control) studies Allelic prevalence in a population Identification of candidate predisposition genes

T m differences between homozygotes are big enough, these can be displayed by omitting the temperature-shift step.

目標模板 (Template) 選擇之原則 Design amplicon to be 75 200 bp. Shorter amplicons are typically amplified withhigher efficiency. An amplicon should be at least 75 bp to easily distinguish itfrom any primer-dimers that might form. Avoid secondary structure if possible. Avoid templates with long (>4) repeats of single base. Maintain a GC content of 50 60%.
引子設計之原則 引子設計原則 Length in 20~40 bp Design primers with a GC content of 50 60% Maintain a melting temperature (Tm) between 50ºC and 65ºC. Avoid secondary structure Avoid repeats of Gs or Cs longer than three bases Place Gs and Cs on ends of primers. Number of Cs> Gs Avoid primer dimer & hairpin form (<5 complementarity, low G-C)
