Allele-specific LDR primers were immobilized on polylysine-coated glass slides to perform LDR on a chip. The spotting concentration and detection limit were analyzed using a synthesized oligonucleotide as a template. The optimal primer spotting concentration was 20 mmol/L and the lowest detectable template concentration was 0.33 nmol/L. The method was successfully employed to iden-tify malignant mutations of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Asymmetric polymerase chain reaction was em-ployed to prepare single stranded DNA as LDR templates from cloned plasmids. The discrimination ratios for AC, TC, GT, TT, GA, and AA mismatches are 32.82, 44.24, 17.75, 18.34, 11.66, and 8.91, respectively. This method may allow construction of multiple mutation detection systems.展开更多

Time required and reagent cost for both assays were evaluated.RESULTS: Real-time PCR detected 100, 50, 10, 1 and 0.1% of YIDD plasmid, whereas LDR detected 100, 50, 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01% of YIDD plasmid, in mixtures with YMDD plasmid of 106 copies/mL. Among the 52 clinical serum samples, completely concordant results were obtained for all samples by both assays, and 39 YIDD, 9 YVDD, and 4 YIDD/YVDD were detected. Cost and time required for LDR and real-time PCR are 60/80 CNY (8/10.7 US dollars) and 4.5/2.5 h, respectively.CONCLUSION: LDR and real-time PCR are both sensitive and inexpensive methods for monitoring low abundant YMDD mutants during lamivudine therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. LDR is more sensitive and less expensive, while real-time PCR is more rapid.展开更多
