摘要: NASBA is an isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction that amplifies mRNA in a dsDNA background. Although similar to the sensitive reverse transcription/polymerase chain (RT-PCR) detection, not prone give false positive results caused by genomic dsDNA. Therefore, unique for detection of transcription intronless genes, which preclude strategies such as intron spanning primer pairs control RT-PCR. Using NASBA, human interferon-beta gene was demonstrated with sensitivity 10 copies, whereas 100 ng DNA gave negative result.
