Measurement Comparison of Plasmid DNA Capability by Digital PCR
-
摘要: 数字PCR(digital PCR, dPCR)技术是一种核酸绝对定量技术,被广泛应用于转基因检测和基因检测。为保障国内数字PCR测量结果的准确和可靠,采用转基因质粒DNA样品,考查了16家参比实验室的数字PCR测量能力。比对结果表明:以转基因质粒DNA的外源基因与内拷贝数比值的差值(<25%)来评估参比实验室的测量能力,16家参比实验室均在可接受的范围内,且不同数字PCR平台没有显著差异。受质粒构象影响,7个实验室对质粒DNA的绝对拷贝数含量测量结果显著低于参考值。建议在使用数字PCR进行质粒DNA拷贝数定量测量时,应先确认质粒构象是否对扩增有影响。Abstract: Digital PCR (dPCR) is an absolute quantitative technique of nucleic acid, which is widely used in transgenic and gene detection. In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of digital PCR measurement results in China, 16 laboratories were tested using transgenic plasmid DNA samples. The comparison results showed that the difference between the ratio of foreign gene to internal copy number (<25%) to evaluate the measuring ability of the laboratories. The 16 laboratories were all within the acceptable range, and there was no significant difference among different digital PCR platforms. Due to the influence of plasmid conformation, the absolute copy number content of plasmid DNA measured in 7 laboratories was significantly lower than the reference value. It is suggested that when using digital PCR for quantitative measurement of plasmid DNA copy number, it should be confirmed whether the conformation of plasmid has an effect on amplification.
