Abstract

The invention is based on the concept of using the change in conductivity to be measured during the PCR as a marker for the progression of the PCR and for the quantification of the starting quantity of DNA. This apparatus determines the changes in conductivity 'online' during the course of a PCR by means of small microelectrodes (4) which are immersed in the PCR solution. Using this parameter, the apparatus is able to calculate the quantity of DNA or RNA before the conclusion of the PCR.

Description

Beschreibung:Description:
KONDUKTIVITÄTS-PCR (Leitfähigkeits PCR)CONDUCTIVITY PCR (conductivity PCR)
Eine in der Molekularbiologie wichtige Fragestellung ist die nach der Aktivität einzelner Gene. Um einzelne Gene in ihrer Aktivität zu bestimmen wird häufig eine PCR (Polymerasekettenreaktion) oder eine RT-PCR (reverse Transkriptase Polymerase Kettenreaktion) durchgeführt. Eine Schwierigkeit besteht darin, daß die PCR-Reaktion nur schwierig quantifizierbar ist, daß heißt die Menge an DNA/RNA vor Ablauf der PCR-Reaktion läßt sich nur abschätzen.An important question in molecular biology is that of the activity of individual genes. To determine individual genes in their activity, a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) or an RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) is often carried out. One difficulty is that the PCR reaction is difficult to quantify, that is, the amount of DNA / RNA before the PCR reaction is complete can only be estimated.
Bisher übliche Apparate zur „online" PCR färben entweder die im Verlauf der PCR gebildete DNA oder verwenden floureszenzmarkierte Oligonucleotidprimer um den Verlauf der PCR zu quantifizieren. Dabei ist ein aufwendiges optisches System zur Messung der jeweiligen Fluoreszenzen nötig.Previously customary "online" PCR apparatus either stained the DNA formed in the course of the PCR or used fluorescent-labeled oligonucleotide primers to quantify the course of the PCR. A complex optical system for measuring the respective fluorescence was required.
Dieser Erfindung liegt die Überlegung zugrunde die bei Ablauf der PCR-Reaktion entstehende Menge an Phosphat und die damit verbundene Leitfähigkeitsänderungen als Marker für den Verstärkungsfaktor der PCR-Reaktion zu nutzen. Dieser Apparat bestimmt während dem Ablauf einer PCR-Reaktion „online" mittels kleiner Mikroelektroden, die in die PCR-Lösung eintauchen, den Phosphatanstieg. Aufgrund dieses Parameters ist der Apparat in der Lage die DNA bzw. RNA- Menge vor Ablauf der PCR-Reaktion zu errechnen. Die Phosphatmenge wird dabei aufgrund ihrer guten spezifischen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit und aufgrund ihres Anstiegs im Verlauf der Annealing und Extension- phase der PCR als Marker zur Detektion gewählt. Anhand einer zuvor ermittelten Eichkurve und der bestimmten Meßwerte kann anschließend ein Mikroprozessor die Phosphatkonzentration nach Ablauf der PCR-Reaktion, den Verstärkungsfaktor der PCR-Reaktion sowie die DNA- bzw. die RNA-Konzentration vor Beginn der PCR- Reaktion errechnen. Dabei eignet sich der zeitliche Verlauf des Leitfähigkeitsanstiegs als Funktion der Zyklenzahl und der Temperatur zur Ermittlung der Ursprungskonzentration an DNA.This invention is based on the consideration of using the amount of phosphate which arises when the PCR reaction proceeds and the associated changes in conductivity as markers for the amplification factor of the PCR reaction. During the course of a PCR reaction, this apparatus determines the phosphate increase “online” by means of small microelectrodes which are immersed in the PCR solution. Because of this parameter, the apparatus is able to measure the amount of DNA or RNA before the PCR reaction The amount of phosphate is selected as a marker for detection on the basis of its good specific electrical conductivity and on the basis of its rise in the course of the annealing and extension phase of the PCR, and a microprocessor can then determine the phosphate concentration after the end using a previously determined calibration curve and the determined measured values of the PCR reaction, the amplification factor of the PCR reaction and the DNA or RNA concentration before the start of the PCR reaction, using the time course of the increase in conductivity as a function of the number of cycles and the temperature to determine the original concentration of DNA ,
Vorteilhaft an dieser Erfindung ist, daß mit der Leitfähigkeit direkt ein elektronisch verwertbares Maß verwendet wird. Zudem ist die Phosphatmenge ein besonders empfindlicher Parameter. Die Leitfähigkeit ändert sich dabei innerhalb eines jeden Zyklus temperaturabhängig entsprechend den drei Phasen (Annealing, Extension, Denaturierung). Insgesamt nimmt die Leitfähigkeit dabei im Verlauf der PCR ab. In der Annealingphase nimmt die Leitfähigkeit relativ stark ab. In den ersten circa zehn Zyklen steigt die Leitfähigkeit linear („lineare Phase") bis zum „Trashhold Zyklus". Dieser Zyklus eignet sich in besonderer Weise zur Quantifizierung der Polymerasekettenreaktion. Ab dem Trashhold Zyklus beginnt die exponentielle Phase. Diese ist durch eine summarische Leitfähigkeitsabnahme gekennzeichnet. Dennoch bleibt auch hier wähend der Denaturierungsphase und der Extensionsphase eine phasenweise Leitfähigkeitszunahme erhalten. Die Leitfähigkeitsänderungen der einzelnen Phasen eignen sich ebenfalls zur PCR- Quantifizierung.An advantage of this invention is that an electronically usable measure is used directly with the conductivity. The amount of phosphate is also a particularly sensitive parameter. The conductivity changes within each cycle depending on the temperature in accordance with the three phases (annealing, extension, denaturation). Overall, the conductivity decreases in the course of the PCR. In the annealing phase, the conductivity decreases relatively strongly. In the first approximately ten cycles, the conductivity increases linearly ("linear phase") up to the "trashhold cycle". This cycle is particularly suitable for quantifying the polymerase chain reaction. The exponential phase begins from the Trashhold cycle. This is characterized by a total decrease in conductivity. Nevertheless, a phase-wise increase in conductivity remains during the denaturation phase and the extension phase. The changes in conductivity of the individual phases are also suitable for PCR quantification.
Möglicherweise binden bei der Annealingtemperatur viele Mononucleotide und viele Magnesiumionen sowie andere Ionen an die DNA. Mit Beginn der Extensionsphase steigt die Leitfähigkeit kontinuierlich bis zum Ende der Extensionsphase an. Dieser Anstieg wird vermutlich durch die Phosphatfreisetzung bewirkt. Und muß gemessen werden. An die Elongationsphase schließt sich die Denaturierung an, hier steigt die Leitfähigkeit auf ein Maximum. Vermutlich dissoziieren in dieser Phase alle Ionen ab. Erläuterung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels: ZeichnungPossibly many mononucleotides and many magnesium ions and other ions bind to the DNA at the annealing temperature. With the beginning of the extension phase, the conductivity increases continuously until the end of the extension phase. This increase is thought to be caused by the release of phosphate. And must be measured. The denaturation follows the elongation phase, here the conductivity increases to a maximum. Presumably, all ions dissociate in this phase.
