  • Cleavable hairpin primers
    Patent number: 11371082
    Abstract: Nucleic acid constructs and methods that provide superior prevention of primer-dimers and other artifacts of false priming events are disclosed. In particular, there is disclosed a hairpin primer having a target-specific primer region, wherein the target-specific region comprises a target-binding dependent cleavage sequence; a first stem forming region 5? of the target-specific primer region; and a second stem forming region 3? of the target-specific primer region, wherein the second stem forming region is complementary to the first stem forming region. Methods of using the hairpin primer to amplify a target nucleic acid are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 28, 2022
    Assignee: LUMINEX CORPORATION
