In molecular biology, the LAMP (Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification) method is also known as Cue PCR or Loop Amplification. Particularly, it can be used for rapid amplification of nucleic acids which enables detection of specific DNA or RNA sequences under isothermal conditions having a constant temperature mainly 60-65°C. Very important applications including diagnostics, field-based testing and point-of-care testing have made Cue PCR famous due to its simplicity, speediness and versatility.
Cue PCR makes use of an isothermal amplification technique involving performance of DNA or RNA amplifications at the same temperature.This contrasts with traditional PCR that requires temperature cycling so that nucleic acids are amplified by CuePCR uses a strand-displacement DNA polymerase along with four to six primers that targeting multiple sites within the target sequence. The reaction goes through several strand-displacement and annealing steps resulting in typical amplification products commonly referred to as “loop” structures or “stem-loops.”
