System A

A number of nucleic acid amplification assays (NAAs) have been employed to detect tubercle bacilli in clinical specimens for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. Among these, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is an NAA possessing superior isothermal reaction characteristics. In the present study, a set of six specific primers targeting the Mycobacterium tuberculosis 16S rRNA gene with high sensitivity was selected and a LAMP system (MTB-LAMP) was developed. Using this system, a total of 200 sputum samples from Nepalese patients were investigated. The sensitivity of MTB-LAMP in culture-positive samples was 100 % (96/96), and the specificity in culture-negative samples was 94.2 % (98/104, 95 % confidence interval 90.5–97.9 %). The positive and negative predictive values of MTB-LAMP were 94.1 and 100 %, respectively. These results indicate that this MTB-LAMP method may prove to be a powerful tool for the early diagnosis of TB.

Rapid Amplification

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) allowed rapid amplification of nucleic acids under isothermal conditions. It can be combined with a chemosensor for much more efficient, field-friendly detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. In this report, LAMP was performed at 65 °C for 10 min, followed by a rapid reaction of DNA amplification by-product, pyrophosphate ion, with chemosensor resulted in red disappearance. The detection limit of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex by LAMP-Chemosensor was 3-5 copies, and the total assay time including 10 min for rapid DNA extraction was approximately 30 min. Data on naturally contaminated raw milk samples indicated that the LAMP method was highly specific and sensitive, giving 100% concordance with Real-time PCR. The results showed that the LAMP-Chemosensor method had the advantages of better sensitivity and speed and less dependence on equipment than the standard (PCR) for specifically detecting low levels of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA, and this can be useful in the field as a routine diagnostic tool.

To develop a rapid detection method ofStaphylococcus aureususing loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), four specific primers were designed according to six distinct sequences of thenucgene. In addition, the specificity and sensitivity of LAMP were verified and compared with those of PCR. Results showed that the LAMP reaction was completed within 45 min at 62.5°C, and ladder bands were appeared in LAMP products analyzed by gel electrophoresis. After adding 1x SYBR Green l, the positive reaction tube showed green color and the negative reaction tube remained orange, indicating that the LAMP has high specificity. The minimal detectable concentration of LAMP was1×102 CFU/mL and that of PCR was1×104 CFU/mL, indicating that the LAMP was 100 times more sensitive than the PCR. The LAMP method for detection ofStaphylococcus aureushas many advantages, such as simple operation, high sensitivity, high specificity, and rapid analysis. Therefore, this method is more suitable for the rapid on-site detection ofStaphylococcus aureus.

Leaf Tissues

In an attempt to speed up the process of screening of transgenic cotton (G. hirsutum L.) plants, a visual and rapid loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was adopted. Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh leaf tissues of T<sub>2</sub> transgenic cotton containing chitinase (chi) and cry1A(b) genes. Detection of genes of interest was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), LAMP and real-time PCR methods. In LAMP assay the amplification was performed after 30 min at 65&deg;C when loop primers were involved in the reaction. The involvement of loop primers decreased the time needed for amplification. By testing serial tenfold dilutions (10<sup>&ndash;1</sup> to 10<sup>&ndash;8</sup>) of the genes of interest, the detection sensitivity of LAMP was found to be 100-fold higher than that of PCR. The rapid DNA extraction method and LAMP assay can be performed within 30 min and the derived LAMP products can be directly observed as visually detectable based on turbidity in the reaction tube. The accuracy of LAMP method in the screening of transgenes was confirmed by PCR and real-time PCR. The developed method was efficient, rapid and sensitive in the screening of cotton transgenic plants. This method can be applied to any other crops.
