Oligonucleotide ligation assay principle

Pcrola distinguishes between the ligation and the absence of ligation of two oligonucleotides. Sixteenplex ola genotyping reactions are carried out, and allelespecific ola products are detected on membrane arrays using radiolabeled probes. Resistance mutations by an oligonucleotide ligation assay. The oligonucleotide ligation assay is a genotypic assay for the detection of resistanceassociated mutations to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors in. Duolink proximity ligation assay pla is a powerful tool that allows in situ detection of endogenous proteins, protein modifications, and protein interactions with high specificity and sensitivity. Our studies demonstrate the sensitivity, simplicity, and specificity of this genotyping system. Oligonucleotide ligation assay for detecting mutations in. Allelic nucleotides in the amplified product are then typed by a colorimetric implementation of the oligonucleotide ligation assay ola. The primers are designed with either the normal or mutant nucleotides at the 3 end and a tail of different lengths to distinguish various pcr products based on size at the 5 end. The assay benefits from the inclusion of additional steps such as the ligase chain reaction in which the ligation reaction is reiterated with further oligonucleotides complementary to the first ligation product or rolling circle amplification technology, in which two allelespecific oligonucleotides about 80 nt in length are designed to form a circle on the template, generating a closed loop or padlock probe when ligated.

Protein targets can be readily detected and localized with single molecule resolution in unmodified cells and tissues. How it is better or preferable in comparison to other mutational analysis tools like rflp and arms. We have developed an oligonucleotide ligation assay ola that enables us to screen for highrisk individuals by testing for 19 common mutations in the. Oligonucleotide ligation assay ola the ola consists of two phases, a multiplex pcr amplification and a multiplex ola, in a singletube format. Development and evaluation of an oligonucleotide ligation assay. The ola protocol and reaction conditions used were as previously described. This protocol describes the oligonucleotide ligation assay ola, which uses a set of three oligonucleotides, in combination with a thermostable taq dna ligase. Genotyping kits for the detection of hiv1 pol drug. Oligonucleotide ligation assay ola for the diagnosis of. Genotyping by oligonucleotide ligation assay ola sigmaaldrich. This protocol describes the oligonucleotide ligation assay ola, which uses a set of three oligonucleotides, in combination with a thermostable taq dna ligase enzyme, to discriminate singlenucleotide polymorphism snp alleles. An oligonucleotide biotinylated at its 5end and another with a reporter group chromophore or fluorophore at its 3end are constructed to hybridize to the sequence to be detected in a template dna strand. Oligonucleotide ligation assay nih aids reagent program. This report describes the detection of mutations in the pol gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 associated with resistance to zidovudine, didanosine, and lamivudine by genotyping by an oligonucleotide ligation assay specific codons in the pol gene amplified by pcr.

Oligonucleotide ligation assay ola is considered to be a very useful. Polymerase chain reactionoligonucleotide ligation assay pcr. The oligonucleotide ligation assay is a genotypic assay for the detection of resistanceassociated mutations to reverse transcriptase and. The oligonucleotide ligation assay ola is a point mutation assay based on the. Oligonucleotide ligation assay is used for mutational analysis. How proximity ligation assay pla works sigmaaldrich. Polymerase chain reactionoligonucleotide ligation assay pcrola is a method to. Ligation assays are based on the covalent joining of two adjacent oligonucleotide probes usually 20mers when they are hybridized to a dna sample, usually a pcr product. This mechanism can be used to interrogate a snp by hybridizing two probes directly over the snp polymorphic site, whereby ligation can occur if the probes are identical to the target dna. Oligonucleotide ligation assay dna ligase catalyzes the ligation of the 3 end of a dna fragment to the 5 end of a directly adjacent dna fragment.
