Abstract
A novel, convenient, and highly efficient hybrid selection procedure is described. The method utilizes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in which one of two primers is biotinylated at the 5′-terminus. The concentration of the biotinylated primer is 100 times that of the other to synthesize biotinylated single-stranded DNA (asymmetric PCR). After hybridization of the biotinylated DNA with mRNA in solution, streptavidin agarose is used to trap the hybrid duplex of mRNA·DNA-biotin onto the solid matrix. The selected mRNA is then eluted from the streptavidin agarose. The quantitative physical recovery of selected mRNA is about 70% with about 33% retention of biological activity.
