title: Use of self-quenched, fluorogenic LUX primers for gene expression profiling.
abstract: Application of a real-time detection system based on a novel primer design in gene expression profiling is described. In this system, called LUX (Light Upon eXtension), the generation of signal is based on a single fluorescent dye molecule that is attached to an oligonucleotide close to the 3'-end. A primer design software is available that identifies LUX primer pairs based on a set of rules for optimum signal development. The use of LUX fluorogenic primers to determine the expression patterns of various transcripts during differentiation in the P-19 mouse neuronal model is described.
