Low-Temperature Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Operating at Physiological Temperature.

ABSTRACT: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is one of the most widely used isothermal amplification technologies in molecular diagnostics. However, LAMP operates at a high temperature of 65 °C; thus, operating LAMP at a lower temperature is desirable to maximize its usefulness for on-site diagnosis. In this study, we propose a new version of LAMP, termed low-temperature LAMP, which operates at the physiological temperature of 37 °C. Low-temperature LAMP differs from conventional LAMP operating at 65 °C in terms of the concentrations of MgSO₄ and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), as well as the lengths of DNA probes, which are crucial for the execution of low-temperature LAMP. Under the optimal conditions, the amplification efficiency of low-temperature LAMP is compara
