    摘要: The invention provides a method for reducing background in hybridization reactions of nucleic acids involving at least two homologous probes, wherein at least one of the probes is non-linear, or two homologous target sequences and a non-linear probe. Background is reduced by introducing an intended mismatch with a target sequence in at least one of the probes. The presence of the mismatch reduces the specificity of probes not entirely complementary to a target sequence to such an extent that the background signal is reduced. A set of mixed homologous probes, wherein at least one of the probes is non-linear, comprising such specific mismatch is also provided. The set can be used for the detection of variants of a family of nucleic acids, for instance a number of HIV variants. The invention also provides kits for carrying out the methods according to the invention.

    摘要: The present application relates to mutated RNA polymerases from bacteriophages that have increased stability, for example under high temperature conditions. One example of bacteriophage encoded RNA polymerase is the T7 RNA polymerase. T7 is a bacteriophage capable of infecting E. coli cells. Examples of other E. coli infecting T7-like bacteriophages are T3, øI, øII, W31, H, Y, A1, croC21, C22 and C23. An example of a Salmonella typhimurium infecting bacteriophage is SP6. The present invention is concerned with the RNA polymerases of T7-like bacteriophages that have been mutated. Due to these mutations the RNAP's have an increased stability. Preferred mutated RNA polymerases according to the invention are mutant RNA polymerases from T7 or SP3 bacteriophages. Due to the high homology between these enzymes, mutations in the T7 gene 1 sequence are likely to have the same effect in the corresponding gene sequence of the T3 bacteriophage. An especially preferred embodiment of the present invention is a T7 RNA polymerase with a serine to proline amino acid change in the protein at position 633 of the amino acid sequence. Since there is 80% homology between the T7 RNA polymerase and the T3 RNA polymerase the same effects of the 633 serine→proline mutation in the T7 gene may be expected for a 634 serine→proline amino acid mutation in the T3 RNA polymerase.
