采用实时定量PCR的方法研究了硅表面对乙肝病毒(HBV)DNA扩增过程的抑制作用。实验中采用HF处理的H终止硅和与自然氧化的硅片作为样品,按照1.0mm2/μL和5.2mm2/μL的面体比(硅片总表面积与PCR反应液的体积之比)与PCR反应液预混合(未加DNA样品,同时,TaqDNA聚合酶的浓度分别为0.2U/35μL和1.0U/35μL),充分混合预设的时间后,取出硅片,汲取上清液与DNA样品混合后采用实时定量PCR仪SlanTM进行扩增。扩增结果的荧光曲线表明:自然氧化的硅样品对PCR抑制作用更强,其对Taq聚合酶的抑制效果大于4.4mU/mm2;高面体比条件下,即使在初始扩增阶段,也达不到理想的指数形式;缩短芯片反应时间有利于降低材料对扩增的抑制效应。
A real-time PCR approach was used to study inhibition effects of the silicon surface on amplification of the hepatitis B virus genome. H-terminated silicon and natively oxidized silicon were tested in PCR reagents (with Taq DNA polymerase, but without DNA in) with deliberate designs. After slight oscillations, supernatants were extracted and mixed with DNA to perform the real-time amplification and detection. Fluorescence histories indicated that:(1) Compared to the H-terminated silicon, the samples with a native oxide layer restrained the polymerase catalytic activity much more severely, and the 1 mm^2 native oxide surface could restrain at least 4. 4 mU polymerases' catalytic activity; (2)The amplification processes could not even realize an exponential form at the beginning of the amplification for these high surface-tovolume ratio cases; (3) Longer mixing time of silicon pieces and PCR reagents resulted in lower amplifica- tion efficiency.
