摘要 |
The present invention relates to an annealing control primer for improving annealing specificity in nucleic acid amplification and its applications to all fields of nucleic acid amplification-involved technology. The present primer comprises (a) a 3'-end portion having a hybridizing nucleotide sequen ce substantially complementary to a site on a template nucleic acid to hybridiz e therewith; (b) a 5'-end portion having a pre-selected arbitrary nucleotide sequence; and (c) a regulator portion positioned between said 3'-end portion and said 5'-end portion comprising at least one universal base or non- discriminatory base analog, whereby said regulator portion is capable of regulating an annealing portion of said primer in association with annealing temperature.
