Evaluation of minor groove binding probe and Taqman probe PCR assays: Influence of mismatches and template complexity on quantification.

Real-time PCR assays using 3'-minor groove binder (MGB) or Taqman probes are widely used for clinical virological testing and mutation/polymorphism detection. We compared a 3'-MGB probe to a conventional Taqman probe for linearity, sensitivity, specificity and dynamic range. The performanc...
