Step (b): Performing a real-time PCR using the extracted DNA, primer and probe set

The term "amplification reaction" as used herein refers to a reaction to amplify a nucleic acid molecule. Various amplification reactions have been reported in the art and include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (US Patent Nos. 4,683,195, 4,683,202 and 4,800,159), reverse transcription-real-time polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) (Miller, HI (WO 89/06700) and Davey, C. et al. (EP 329,822), Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 3rd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Press (LCR) (17, 18), Gap-LCR (WO 90/01069), repair chain reaction (EP 439,182), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) 19 (WO 88/10315), self sustained sequence replication 20 (WO 90/06995), selective amplification of target polynucleotide sequences (U.S. Patent No. 6,410,276), consensus sequence primer polymerase chain reaction (U.S. Patent No. 4,437,975), arbitrarily primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,413,909 and 5,861,245), nucleotide sequence (NASBA) (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,130,238, 5,409,818, 5,554,517 and 6,063,603), strand displacement amplification (21,22) and ring-mediated constant temperature Loop-mediated isothermal amplification. (LAMP) 23, but is not limited thereto. Other amplification methods that may be used are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,242,794, 5,494,810, 4,988,617 and U.S. Patent No. 09 / 854,317.

In the present invention, the nucleic acid amplification reaction is performed according to real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

The term "primer" in the context of the present invention refers to a nucleic acid that is complementary to the 5 ' end sequence and the 3 ' end sequence of the target nucleic acid region amplified in the amplification reaction of the nucleic acid, , Four different nucleoside triphosphates, and a polymerase) under the control of the oligonucleotide of the single-strand that can serve as a starting point for the polymerase reaction of the template-directed nucleic acid. The suitable length of the primer is typically 15-30 nucleotides, although it varies depending on various factors such as temperature and use of the primer. Short primer molecules generally require lower temperatures to form a sufficiently stable hybridization complex with the template.

The primer used in the present invention is hybridized or annealed at one site of the template to form a double-stranded structure. Nucleic acid hybridization conditions suitable for forming such a double-stranded structure can be found in Nucleic Acid Hybridization < RTI ID = 0.0 > (" , A Practical Approach, IRL Press, Washington, DC (1985).

Since the primer set of the present invention was designed to target a gene region coding for species conserved 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in the genomic DNA sequence in mycoplasma bacteria, which can be contaminated with high frequency during the cell culture process, Type microorganism can be specifically detected.

The term "probe" in the context of the present invention is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule and includes sequences complementary to the target nucleotide sequence. The probe of the present invention can be modified to the extent that the hybridization specificity is not impaired. For example, a reporter fluorescent material or a quencher can be tagged to the end of the oligonucleotide that is the probe.

In the method using the real-time PCR reaction of the present invention, the probe uses a probe capable of complementarily binding to a partial sequence within the base sequence amplified by the primer set.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the primer and the probe set used in the real-time PCR reaction of the present invention include primers and probes of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 25, respectively.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the primer and probe set used in the real-time PCR reaction of the present invention additionally include a set of primers for internal control of SEQ ID NO: 26 and SEQ ID NO: 27.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reporter-fluorescent substance is tagged at the 5'-end of the probe used in the real-time PCR reaction method of the present invention, and a fluorescent-inhibiting substance quencher is tagged.

In the present invention, the reporter fluorescent substance and the fluorescence inhibition substance are not limited to specific substances. For example, the reporter fluorescent substance may be 6-FAM, JOY, TET, 6-JOE, HEX, Cy3, Cy5, VIC, EDD, And BHQ-1, BHQ-2, BHQ-3, a dichroic dark fluorescence inhibiting substance or ROX can be used as the fluorescence inhibitor.

The probe of the present invention does not emit fluorescence at the 5'-terminal reporter fluorescent substance due to the action of the fluorescence inhibiting substance present at the 3'-terminal. However, the 5 '→ 3' exonuclease activity of the Taq DNA polymerase in the extension step, which is the next step of the nucleic acid amplification reaction, causes the probe hybridized to the template to be degraded and the 5'- Separated from the probe to release fluorescence inhibition by the fluorescence inhibiting substance, thereby emitting fluorescence.

The appropriate length of the probe is designed to have a hybridization temperature of about 20 to 35 nucleotides, which is about 5-10 DEG C higher than the hybridization temperature of the primer, depending on various factors such as primer hybridization temperature and length, Can be increased.

In the nucleic acid amplification reaction of the present invention, the DNA extracted from the sample in the step (a) is used as the template DNA of the reaction.

A variety of DNA polymerases can be used in the amplification reaction, including, for example, the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I, the thermostable DNA polymerase and the bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase. Preferably, the polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase obtainable from a variety of bacterial species, including Thermus aquaticus (Taq), Thermus thermophilus (Tth), Thermus filiformis, Thermis flavus, Thermococcus literalis, and Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) . The DNA polymerase that can be used in the present invention can be DNA-free polymerase from which foreign DNA has been removed by a suitable treatment. In addition, a hot-start- start) polymerase can be used. The hot-start polymerase is an enzyme having a polymerase activity at a high temperature such as 95 ° C, and inhibits the reaction at a low temperature between the primer and the polymerase to prevent primer dimer formation, thereby improving the specificity of the amplification of the polymerase .

In the present invention, the amplification reaction solution may include a mixture of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP, and dUTP as a dNTP mixture, a PCR buffer, a DNA polymerase joiner and UDG (Uracill DNA Glycosylase). The dNTP mixture of the amplification reaction of the present invention comprises dTTP and dUTP, together with Uracil DNA Glycosylase (UDG). The UDG recognizes and cuts the Uracil contained in the template strand of the previous amplification product DNA, and the truncated DNA template strand no longer acts as a template strand, so that the amplification reaction does not occur. The present invention uses dUTP and UDG to block the generation of amplification products due to carry-over contamination of previous amplification products, thereby improving the accuracy of the test by eliminating the false positive results due to the contamination of the laboratory amplification products .

When performing the gene amplification reaction, it is preferable to provide the reaction vessel with the necessary amount of components necessary for the reaction. The appropriate amount of the components required for the amplification reaction means an amount such that the amplification reaction is not substantially restricted to the concentration of the component. It is desirable to provide the reaction mixture with a sufficient degree of amplification to achieve the joins such as Mg ²⁺ , dATP, dCTP, dGTP dTTP, and dUTP. All enzymes used in the amplification reaction may be active under the same reaction conditions. In fact, buffers make all enzymes close to optimal reaction conditions. Therefore, the amplification process of the present invention can be carried out in a single reaction without changing the conditions such as the addition of reactants.

In the present invention, annealing or hybridization is carried out under stringent conditions that allow specific binding between the nucleotide sequence of the target template DNA and the primer and probe sequence. The stringent conditions for annealing are sequence-dependent and vary with environmental variables.

Step (c): Detecting and analyzing the amplified nucleic acid product

The present invention further includes detecting and analyzing the amplified nucleic acid product. The amplification product of the amplified 16S rRNA coding polynucleotide sequence using the primer-probe set of the present invention is analyzed by a suitable method. For example, real-time PCR amplification can be verified in real-time by using each program provided in the instrument (ABI7500 or CFX96) to check whether the target detection gene is amplified. The detection of the real-time nucleic acid amplification reaction was carried out by detecting the fluorescence value according to the emission of the fluorescence substance from the probe labeled with the fluorescence substance capable of complementarily binding to the 16S rRNA gene as the detection target gene and the quencher (Quencher) Check for plasma infections. In the case of mycoplasma negative samples in which the fluorescence value was not measured, it was confirmed that real-time nucleic acid amplification reaction was confirmed by confirming amplification of the psbA gene of the added spinach ( Spinacia oleracea ) to confirm the real-time nucleic acid amplification reaction , and a probe complementary to the psbA gene is labeled with a Cy5 fluorescent substance that is not FAM fluorescent light and is distinguished from FAM which is a fluorescent substance of a mycoplasma positive specimen.

Genomic DNA, and extraction of plasmid DNA synthesis, using the ^{Solgent TM Genomic DNA Prep Kit (Cat.No.} SGD41-C100, Solgent, Korea) was performed according to the contents of the instructions included in the kit. The extracted gDNA was measured with a UV spectrometer (range 10-100 pg) and purity was measured after A260 / A280 ratio (≥ 1.8).

3-2. Preparation of Positive Control Molds

The template used as a positive control was amplified from Mycoplasma Species gene 16S ribosomal RNA and one species of Spinacia oleracea psbA gene, and the amplified product was cloned into T vector and used as a positive control template.

3-3. Real-time polymerase chain reaction

The reaction mixture of RT-PCR (Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction) was prepared with the following composition ratios: 12.5 μl of 2X Multiplex PCR Smart Mix (with UDG), 2 μl of primer-probe set and Nuclease free water and DNA template And the volume of the total reaction solution was adjusted to 25 μl. The RT-PCR reaction was carried out under the following conditions. The UDG reaction was performed at 3O < 0 > C at 50 < 0 > C, the initial RT-PCR activation was 15 cycles of 1 / 15min at 95 [deg.] C, denaturation at 95 [deg.] C for 20 seconds, annealing at 56 [deg.] C for 30 seconds, And an extension of 40 seconds in 45 cycles. Real-time detection of RT-PCR-amplified products was detected using a program provided by the equipment manufacturer. When Life Technologies ABI 7500 was used, the detection target 16S rRNA amplification was confirmed by detecting the FAM fluorescence value, and the fluorescence value detected within the RT-PCR cycle number of 40 (ct) And the fluorescence positivity value detected from the cycle number 41 was confirmed by rechecking to confirm whether or not it was positive. In addition, to confirm the real - time nucleic acid amplification reaction, the fluorescence value of Cy5 luminescence from the attached psbA gene was measured and the accuracy of the real - time nucleic acid amplification reaction was confirmed to confirm the negative of the mycoplasma negative sample. If the fluorescence value of Cy5 emitted from the psbA gene is lower than the reference value or emits at a cycle number of 40 (ct value) or more, the RT-PCR reaction is not accurately performed, and this case is re-confirmed. The composition of 2X Multiplex PCR Smart mix (with UDG) in the reaction solution used in the present invention is shown in Table 5 below.

Genomic DNA extracted from the above 17 kinds of mycoplasma and 19 kinds of synthetic plasmid DNAs were subjected to real-time PCR reaction, and the results are shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. From the results of FIGS. 1A and 1B, it was confirmed that various types of microplasma bacteria can be detected simultaneously by using the RT-PCR method using the primer-probe set of the present invention.
