Abstract:
Digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification (digital LAMP, dLAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification technique developed in recent years. It divides the target nucleic acid and LAMP reagent into a large number of independent detection regions, and uses a highly active chain replacement DNA polymerase and four specially designed primers for rapid amplification under isothermal conditions, which provides a good platform for quantitative detection of target nucleic acids. The advantages of high accuracy, high sensitivity, absolute quantification, high tolerance to inhibitors and simple instrumentation make the dLAMP technique very promising in molecular diagnosis, especially in rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms, it shows a good application prospect in the fields of clinical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring. Certainly, the development of dLAMP still faces some challenges, such as how to avoid non-specific amplification in multiple primer designs, multi-target nucleic acids and simultaneous detection of a large number of samples. With the development of dLAMP technology, this technology will greatly enrich the future development of molecular diagnostics. Applying rapid and effective molecular diagnostic techniques to the diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms has important social significance for disease prevention and control.
