Method for synthesizing single stranded stem-loop DNAs, the products and uses therefor

摘要

The invention conerns the field of recombinant DNA. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of synthesis of new and useful single-stranded DNA which have a stem-loop configuration (ss-slDNA). The invention relates to an in vitro and in vivo method of synthesis. Further, the invention relates to the replicating vehicle which produce these ss-slDNAs. Moreover, the invention relates these novel structures and discloses uses for these structures. There is described a method for amplifying ss-slDNAs with or without genes encoding a target protein.
