Abstract

See full text

This invention pertains to an improved method for detecting a nucleic acid target sequence with a replicatable RNA reporter system. Two polymerase-mediated reactions are used to generate a target-specific gene containing a DNA sequence for a replicatable RNA. Transcription of the target-specific gene yields a replicatable RNA which is amplified by replication. Synthesis of the gene and the replicatable RNA is strictly dependent upon specific interaction with the target sequence. Consequently, the amplified signal (RNA) is target-dependent and background signal is reduced.
