lified with AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase under the conditions
used. For the 120-bp target (
figure
2B), extraneous products were synthesized with Taq DNA polymerase
but not with AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase. The addition of Taq
DNA polymerase-specific antibody or the magnesium wax beads did not eliminate
the synthesis of artifacts. Finally, with the 230-bp target (
figure
2C), undesired PCR products were absent when amplifications were conducted
with Taq2000
DNA polymerase
in
the presence of magnesium wax beads or with AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase;
however, PCR product yield was significantly reduced in reactions using
AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase (lanes 5-6). For the 230-bp target,
the addition of Taq DNA polymerase-specific antibody did not reduce
the synthesis of undesired products by Taq DNA polymerase.
In total, our results demonstrate the variability of hot start techniques in
eliminating the synthesis of undesired products by Taq DNA polymerase.
In contrast, Pfu DNA polymerase (in figure
2A, 2B and 2C, lanes 9 and 10) consistently generated only the desired
PCR product, and yields of PCR products were comparable to those generated
with the best Taq DNA polymerase plus hot start combinations (figure
2A, lanes 3, 4, 7 and 8; figure
2B, lanes 5, 6; figure
2C, lanes 7, 8). The relatively poor performance of hot start techniques
for amplifying the 120-bp and 230-bp targets suggests that mispaired primer-extension
reactions may be occurring at primer-annealing steps that take place after
the first PCR cycle. Of course, current hot start techniques are ineffective
after the initial denaturation step. The use of Pfu DNA polymerase,
