Abstract | Abstract mRNA measurement is dominated by RT-PCR, which requires expensive laboratory equipment and personnel with advanced degrees. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a versatile technique for detecting target DNA and RNA. The sensitivity of LAMP in early reports has been below that of the standard RT-PCR tests. Here, we report the use of a fluorescence-based RT-LAMP protocol to measure CDX2 expression patterns, which match extremely well to the standards of sophisticated RT-PCR techniques (r = 0.99, p < 0.001). The assay works on diverse sample types such as cDNA, mRNA, and direct tissue sample testing in 25 min compared to more than 3 h for RT-PCR. We have developed a new protocol for designing RT-LAMP primers that reduce false positives due to self-amplification and improve quantification. A simple device with a 3D-printed box enables the measurement of mRNA expression at home, outdoors, and point-of-care setting. |
