NUCLEIC ACID PROBE WITH SINGLE FLUOROPHORE LABEL BOUND TO INTERNAL CYTOSINE FOR USE IN LOOP MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION

摘要

The present invention provides novel probes for use in LAMP detection methods. The probes contain a single fluorophore label bound to an internal cytosine residue of the probe. The probes are particularly useful in the detection of chlamydia and gonorrhea infections in a patient.
