Enhanced detection of enteroviruses in clinical samples by reverse transcription-PCR using complementary locked primer technology

JiYoung Hong et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2010 Feb.

Abstract

To increase detection sensitivity, we modified primers using complementary locked primer (CLP) technology. The sensitivity of the reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) with CLP-modified primers was 10- to 100-fold higher than that of RT-PCR without these primers. CLP-modified primers can increase sensitivity, providing a widely accessible method for molecular diagnosis.
