Figure S1 . PNA-PCR/OCEAN method for K-ras mutation detection.
Assymetric PNA-PCR: a PNA probe complementary to the wild type gene suppresses amplification of the codon 12 wild type K-ras sequence and amplifies preferentially mutant sequences. The PCR reaction is performed using an imbalanced forward:reverse primer ratio in order to preferentially amplify the strand which is complementary to the OCEAN probes. OCEAN: steps 1-4 are carried out in a single tube. Step 1: a stabilizing probe (anchor, in dark gray) binds to the amplified strand of K-ras; step 2: a second probe (amplifier, in light gray, carrying a Fluorescein and a Black Hole Quencher, BHQ1) complementary to the mutant gene recognizes and binds the duplex forming a three-way junction. The resulting ternary structure contains the recognition site for a restriction endonuclease (RE). Step 3: The endonuclease cleaves the amplifier. The cleavage separates the fluorophore from the Black Hole Quencher with consequent emission of fluorescence. Step 4: the cleaved amplifier dissociates, and the cycle repeats itself thus resulting in a continuous signal amplification. For each sample, 4 different OCEAN reactions are performed, each containing a different labelled amplifier, specific for the 4 most frequent mutations of K-ras codon 12.
